        abstract = {Background: Varicose veins are a common manifestation of chronic venous insufficiency characterized by dilated, elongated, and tortuous superficial veins. Symptoms such as pain, heaviness, oedema, cramps, itching, and cosmetic concerns adversely affect quality of life. Individualized homoeopathic medicines are prescribed according to symptom totality and constitutional characteristics. Objective: To evaluate the role of individualized homoeopathic medicines in the management of varicose veins. Materials and Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on 30 clinically diagnosed cases of varicose veins attending the OPD. Cases were followed for six months. Assessment was based on pain, heaviness, edema, cramps, and overall clinical improvement. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square test. Results: Among 30 patients, females constituted 60%. The majority (53.3%) belonged to the age group 41–60 years. Pain was the most common symptom (93.3%). Hamamelis virginiana was prescribed most frequently. At the end of six months, 40% cases showed marked improvement, 40% moderate improvement, and 20% mild improvement. Statistical analysis showed significant improvement (p<0.05). Conclusion: Individualized homoeopathic medicines were associated with improvement in symptoms and quality of life in patients with varicose veins.},
