Hello varicose veins is a very difficult condition to cure. In case you are suffering from severe varicosities, you will have to undergo surgery for it. Milder varicosities can be kept under control by wearing stockings which are specially made for varicose veins. These stockings are to be worn from your toes till the thigh and in both the legs. You can wear the stockings for the entire day or for as long as it is possible for you. At night you must keep two pillows under your feet and keep the legs elevated.
