Siraja Granthi is a Granthi Roga described in Ayurvedic classics, characterized by aggravated Vata affecting the Sira, leading to Sampidana, Sankochana, Vakri and Vishoshana, resulting in Granthi formation. Its clinical features, such as dilated, tortuous, and elongated veins associated with pain and discomfort, closely resemble Varicose Veins. Varicose veins commonly affect the lower limbs due to venous valve incompetence. The highest prevalence of varicose veins is observed in the 55-64 years age group, with females being more commonly affected than males.

Intervention: Yavaadi Upanaha externally and Kaishora Guggulu internally for 7 days. Results: Satisfactory relief was seen in signs and symptoms and improved quality of life after treatment. Conclusion: The study proved that was Siraja Granthi effectively managed by Yavaadi Upanaha with Internal Administration of Kaishora Guggulu.
