Technically proper treatment would require you to see an acupuncturist who can go through your medical history and diagnose you from a Chinese Medicine perspective. Then recommendations can be made. For varicose veins you can massage in witch hazel topically and possibly use horse chestnut orally. But, again, you may get a much better response looking more deeply at the causal factors of the varicose veins which your practitioner can help you do.

In terms of which herbs would be helpful…well in my experience herbs alone are pretty unlikely to make any significant improvement. A combination of exercise, acupuncture, topical massage and possible dietary changes would probably be necessary.
