Varicose veins of the lower limbs are peripheral vascular diseases in which the superficial veins of the lower limbs are thickened, dilated, and tortuous, often accompanied by infections, ulcers, and other complications, and are mainly treated with surgery, but it is more traumatic.

The article summarises the research on the treatment of varicose veins of the lower limb by Chinese medicine in recent years, and summarises and elaborates on various aspects, with a view to providing theoretical reference for the treatment of varicose veins of the lower limb by Chinese medicine, so as to serve the clinic.
