Varicose veins occur when the valves get damaged and hamper the flow of blood in one direction. The blood gets pooled in the area and the vein swells thus causing varicose veins. These swollen veins can cause severe pain. It is a common condition that mostly affects the legs and feet, especially of women. It is common among middle aged and elderly people. Yoga is very effective in treating Varicose Veins. It helps in alleviating pain and also prevents future attack.
The beneficial yogasanas are: sarvangasana, shirshasana, pawanamuktasana, shashankasana, tadasana, janushirasana, vajrasana, suryanamaskara and shavasana. Breathing exercises or pranayama also helps get relief from pain.
Sarvangasana or the shoulderstand is considered to be the most effective yogasana in the treatment of varicose veins. While doing this asana, try to remain in the posture for at least 3 minutes. It increases the circulation of blood and also reduces the pressure of the blood that has got collected in the veins.

I was looking for something natural to use as a treatment for spider veins and found page after page of treatments similiar to this,
But i didn’t expect this. Treating the the veins with yoga I guess really makes sense. Maybe this ‘blood pooling’ as you say, is from gravity also.
