Abstract :

Health is not something that one possesses as a commodity, but connotes rather a way of functioning within one�s environment (work, recreation and living). One of the major goals in the field of health promotion and disease prevention is to identify risk factors for disease so that information about these risk factors can then be shared with people.

Varicose veins represent a chronic condition that may have an impact on quality of life. A study results show that 15–20% of the population in India is suffering from varicose veins. There are many effective methods to treat varicose veins; however there are simpler, natural, & less expensive methods that have been used in Russian folk medicine. A mixture of garlic, orange & olive oil are known to have many health benefits but they also can be helpful in treating vascular irregularities.
