Abstract
Introduction: Chronic venous disease is responsible for a great deal of the global disease burden due to its prevalence and socio-economic impact. Non-invasive methods of dealing with the resulting ulcers, that negatively impact mobility, are desirable. Cases Summary: We present five cases of stasis dermatitis and venous ulcers of varying severity, treated with individualized classical homeopathy showing progress as recorded with the comprehensive classification system for chronic venous disorders (clinical etiology anatomical pathophysiology) score and venous clinical severity score. There is a need to further investigate scientifically, the role of classical homeopathy in peripheral vascular diseases.
