Varicose ulcers are injuries with loss of body mass that sits on damaged skin by a secondary dermatitis up to a venous hypertension. They constitute the main complication in chronic venous insufficiency.

The age is a risk factor to consider, since varicose ulcers appear with regularity after 60 years and are ulcers you will tilt more frequent. Once they are triggered they tend, like all the chronic ulcers, to a insidious evolution, with difficulty to heal, great affectation of the surrounding skin and frequent recidivist.

Varicose ulcers produce deterioration in the quality of life of the patient and influence negatively in his daily life activities. Varicose ulcer patients have large labor absenteeism, in addition great consumers of sanitary resources, since the care associated to the treatment is frequently long.

One of the clinical treatments of varicose ulcers is the compressive leg bandage and use of dressings that favor the treatment. Nevertheless, as they do not correct the cause that produces them, with the passage of time these injuries may reappear.

The surgical treatment is also possible, by either open surgery, which is an aggressive procedure, or through endoscope surgery. This last is a more novel technique but it presents/displays some limitations, such as access to the veins of the ankles, where more than 30% of the ulcers are located.

In the Adaptogenic Educational and Medical Centers has been prescribed, with great success since April 2002, a formulated herbal combination under the guidelines of Systemic Medicine.

After making a clinical study in more than 120 patients with varicose ulcers that attended the Adaptogen Centers and Medical Units and which exclusively received Systemic treatment during a brief period of two months demonstrated the benefits of these plants: improvement in the ulcerous injuries in 79% of the cases remission in 21% rest of the patients. In all the patients a significant increase of the Quality of Life was observed.

Conclusion: the treatment with Systemic Medicine produces a significant improvement in the most frequent symptoms (cramps, pain and edema, p< 0.0001). Tolerance to the treatment was excellent.
