According to Ayurvedic classical texts the complete
explanation of varicose vein is not found. It is
available in scattered manner. On the basis of signs
and symptoms the varicose vain, it shows close
resemblance with Siragat Vata, Vataj Vatrakta, Siraj
Granthi. On detailed review of available literature we
found that symptoms of varicose vein lies in close
proximal with siraj granthi. It also has close
resemblance with siragat vata as described by Acharya
charaka. Majority of symptoms of vataj type of
vatarakta also coincides with the symptoms of
varicose vein. Concisely it can be understood as an
outcome of vitiation of all the three Doshas along with
Rakta, Mamsa, Medo Dhatu Dushti. Acharya
Vagbhata alters the physical indicators by adding
Vakreekarana (tortuosity), which clarifies the clinical
picture and also states that Sirajagranthi will be
Nishphura (nonpulsatile) and Neeruja (painless).

varicose ulcer can be correlated with Siraj Vran or
Dushta Vran. Dushta vrana, according to Acharya
Sushruta, is a chronic ulcer, manifested in any part of
the body, caused either by the Doshas or trauma.
