Abstract

Chronic Venous Disease is characterized by morphological abnormalities of the venous system. Affected limbs are classified in increasing clinical severity with the Clinical Etiological Anatomical and Pathological system from C0 to C6. Limbs assessed at C3 through C6 meet the criteria of Chronic Venous Insufficiency. Chronic Venous Insufficiency of the Lower Limbs is a very common pathology affecting approximately ~40% of the world's population. This study observes the use of the LivRelief Varicose Vein Cream, a Natural Health Product that is licensed for sale by Health Canada, for use in the treatment of varicose veins.
