• Hamamelis 5ch:Veins are dilated and sensitive to touch. Veins and capillaries are fragile, and even the slightest bump can cause spontaneous bruising. Symptoms worsen in warm air and improve with rest. All affected areas are painful; in the legs, there is a bruised sensation by the end of the day. The main complementary remedy to Hamamelis is Pulsatilla.

• Pulsatilla 9ch: The legs feel heavy and mottled; the feet and hands are cold. The pain is worsened by heat and improved by walking. This remedy will be all the more helpful if it matches the patient’s sensitive constitution.

• Arnica Montana 7ch: The legs feel heavy, and the patient experiences a sensation of bruising and soreness. Bruises form at the slightest impact, and capillaries rupture easily.

• Vipera Redi 5ch: There is leg edema with dilation and inflammation of the veins and a sensation of bursting. The pain is aggravated by prolonged standing and by letting the leg hang down. The skin is cyanotic.

• Aesculus hippocastanatum 9chis used for varicose veins in the lower limbs—which are bluish and distended—as well as for varicose ulcers surrounded by dilated veins. The affected individual experiences a sensation of fullness, heaviness, throbbing, and heat, all of which are worsened by heat and standing, and improved by lying down and by taking cold showers on the legs. Aesculus is also a remedy for burning and stinging hemorrhoids.
