How to Get Rid of Varicose Veins

Introduction: Why Varicose Veins Deserve a Holistic Solution

Varicose veins aren’t just a cosmetic nuisance—they’re a sign your circulatory system needs support. At Patients Medical in New York City, we go beyond the surface. Using a unique blend of conventional diagnostics, natural therapies, and functional medicine, we identify and treat the root causes of your varicose veins.

Because treating veins is about more than looks—it’s about long-term wellness.

What Are Varicose Veins?

Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that develop when blood flow slows or pools, typically in the legs. They often appear:

  • Bulging or rope-like
  • Blue or purple
  • Accompanied by aching, heaviness, or throbbing

They may signal poor venous return, inflammation, or hormonal imbalances—all of which can be improved with integrative care.

Common Symptoms and Concerns

Root Causes: Why Do You Develop Varicose Veins?

At Patients Medical, we look beyond circulation. We uncover why your veins weakened in the first place. Root causes may include:

  • Venous valve dysfunction
  • Chronic inflammation
  • Estrogen dominance or hormonal imbalance
  • Liver congestion and toxin buildup
  • Obesity and insulin resistance
  • Prolonged standing or sitting
  • Nutrient deficiencies (especially vitamin C, magnesium, and zinc)
  • Genetic predisposition compounded by lifestyle

Diagnostic Testing We Offer

We use comprehensive, advanced lab testing to map your unique health picture:

Venous ultrasound for valve performance and blood flow

Hormonal analysis: estrogen, progesterone, thyroid, cortisol

Liver function tests

Inflammation markers (CRP, homocysteine)

Nutrient and antioxidant panels

Metabolic and mitochondrial health testing

Our Integrative Treatments for Varicose Veins

Nutritional Therapy

We create vein-supportive, anti-inflammatory meal plans to improve vascular tone and reduce oxidative stress:

  • High in vitamin C, E, flavonoids, omega-3s
  • Elimination of sugar, alcohol, trans fats
  • Liver-supportive foods: leafy greens, beets, turmeric, garlic
  • Hydration optimization

Vein-Supporting Supplements

Under physician supervision, we use evidence-based nutraceuticals such as:

  • Diosmin + Hesperidin (flavonoids that reduce vein pressure)
  • Horse Chestnut Extract (improves circulation and reduces swelling)
  • Gotu Kola (strengthens blood vessels)
  • Vitamin C + Rutin (enhance capillary integrity)
  • Butcher’s Broom, Pycnogenol, Magnesium, Zinc

IV Therapy for Vein and Liver Support

We offer custom IV formulations including:

  • Glutathione (for detox and inflammation)
  • B vitamins + Vitamin C (vascular and collagen support)
  • Magnesium and trace minerals

Natural Therapies & In-Clinic Options

  • Ozone therapy to reduce oxidative stress
  • Acupuncture to improve circulation and balance hormones
  • Infrared therapy to support lymphatic drainage
  • Lymphatic massage for leg fatigue and swelling

In-Office Procedures (if needed)

If indicated, we collaborate with specialists to offer:

  • Sclerotherapy: a minimally invasive injection therapy
  • Laser therapy: for small facial spider veins
  • Radiofrequency ablation or VenaSeal (for underlying venous reflux)

We pair these conventional treatments with holistic protocols for lasting results and faster healing.

Real Case Study: How Lisa Cleared Her Spider Veins Naturally

Ron, age 59, had painful varicose veins and swelling after years of working on his feet. He was recommended ablation but wanted a more natural path.

Testing revealed:

  • Early-stage venous insufficiency
  • Liver congestion
  • Low vitamin C and magnesium
  • Elevated estrogen levels

We created a 4-month protocol:

  • Anti-inflammatory and vein-friendly meal plan
  • Weekly IV therapy for antioxidant support
  • Herbal support (horse chestnut + gotu kola)
  • Hormone balance and liver detox
  • Light exercise and lymphatic stimulation

Within months, Ron reported less swelling, clearer veins, and no longer needed compression stockings daily.
