Evelyn was an attractive, active senior. She cared about her appearance and liked to dress neatly and smartly. But she had not worn shorts for decades because she felt self-conscious about her varicose veins. Many of us develop these darkened, bulging veins as we age, but Evelyn had developed them early and in abundance.
What she hated most were the tangled veins on her thigh – a veritable jumble of blood vessels that looked like a Gordian knot (and just as impossible to untangle).
Homeopathic journey into the past
At 96 Evelyn suffered a minor stroke. Fortunately there was no paralysis or loss of speech, but it was still worrying. She was cared for by her daughter at the time, who had taken a homeopathy course with me. She encouraged her mother to try homeopathy.
What an interesting conversation that led to!
It turned out that in the 1920s and 30s – when Evelyn was a child – a homeopath lived in her Boston neighbourhood. When little Evie was ill, her mother took her to the homeopath, not to the paediatrician, not to the emergency department, not to A&E. The local homeopath was the first port of call for Evelyn’s childhood illnesses.
But so much time had passed since her last homeopathic treatment that she had almost forgotten the approach. Of course Evelyn was happy to give something another go that had helped her so dependably almost a century earlier.
Homeopathic remedies for varicose veins
So her daughter began using the Banerji protocol for vascular complaints: Hamamelis virginiana C200 in combination with Arnica montana C3, taken twice daily. The two women hoped this protocol – a clinically validated combination of homeopathic remedies – would rebalance Evelyn’s vascular system and help prevent future strokes and TIAs.
It worked. But then something surprising happened.
One day, as Evelyn was getting dressed, she looked at her leg with wide, startled eyes and called to her daughter: “What have you given me?”
Okay, I can imagine a moment of panic. But fortunately Evelyn quickly added, “My varicose veins are almost gone! I had that dreadful patch for nearly my whole life! Has homeopathy done this?”
Yes, Evelyn. Yes, it has!
The Banerji protocol for vascular complaints is also a standard protocol for varicose veins. Let’s be honest: varicose veins are just as much vascular problems as cerebral haemorrhages or microbleeds.
One protocol, double benefit!
Hamamelis C200 in combination with Arnica C3 not only helped Evelyn with her post-stroke problems, it also removed her colourful varicose veins.

Think about that, dear readers. The most urgent and important effect of this protocol was invisible, yet a side effect was obvious to everyone. The varicose veins diminished almost daily in size and prominence until they were practically gone.
Of course this did not happen overnight, but took many months. But the joy on Evelyn’s face was worth it. Once again she experienced the pleasure a tangible homeopathic success can bring. (If only she had a few colourful new shorts to show off her new legs.)
Side effects wanted!
We all know that synthetic medicines from the pharmacy have side effects – undesirable side effects. But I believe homeopathy can also have “side effects”. These are desirable side effects that show the homeopathic remedies are working with the body as a whole to resolve both the chief complaint and associated secondary complaints.
In fact one could describe homeopathy as the medicine you’ve always wanted from your doctors and pharmacists. Homeopathy is a gentle, mild, effective and relatively safe method of healing, produced to strict manufacturing standards from natural, earth-derived materials.
Homeopathy helps – spread the word!
Warmly,
Yours
