Varicose Ulcer: Effective Naturopathic Management at Home care under Medical Supervision

Abstract

A 45-year-old male patient diagnosed with varicose ulcer for one year. He also found his weight to be gradually increasing in past 7 years. He was also a case of morbid obesity. The patient was not under any medications. He had a varicose ulcer in his right leg which was very painful, and he was unable to carry his regular activities. As the patient was not feeling comfortable in getting himself admitted in the hospital, he requested for a Home-based treatment. He was given Naturopathy & Yoga therapies for 45 days for his varicose veins and morbid obesity. There was a significant improvement in the ulcer, which healed with scar formation. There was reduction of 9kgs of weight only with natural healthy diet regime. This case report warrants further studies for Naturopathy and Yoga in the management of Varicose ulcers as well as the metabolic syndromes.
