As a doctor, I understand your interest in finding effective remedies for varicose veins. 

One of the most effective home remedy is compression stockings. These are highly effective in managing symptoms and preventing progression. You can consume some painkiller medicines to reduce inflammation and treat symptoms, including pain and heaviness. 

For more long-term solutions, you can discuss with your doctor the minimally invasive procedures like sclerotherapy or laser treatment if needed, depending on severity.
