ABSTRACT
Varicose veins are tortuous, widened veins in the subcutaneous tissues of the legs and are often easily visible. In the lower limbs, they are estimated to affect at least a third of the population. The primary risk factors include family history, obesity, older age, pregnancy, and standing for long periods of time. Homoeopathy offers significant scope in the treatment of varicose veins, and Kent’s Repertory remains the most trusted tool for accurate prescription. Based on deductive logic, this repertory has undergone six editions and remains a cornerstone of homeopathic practice. This research was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of Kent’s Repertory in the selection of accurate homeopathic remedies for varicose vein cases, utilizing the Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS) as an objective clinical assessment tool. The results confirmed that homeopathic management guided by Kent’s Repertory is highly effective in reducing the clinical severity of varicose veins. The significant improvement in VCSS scores validates the utility of a repertorial approach for providing relief to patients with venous disorders.
Keywords: Kent’s Repertory, Varicose Veins, Venous Clinical Severity Score, Homoeopathy.
