The brain is the most important organ of the human body, which is responsible for the functioning of various systems. Most brain diseases cause problems with blood vessels - hereditary, age-related, resulting from exposure to provoking factors. To clean the vascular structures of the organ, medications are usually prescribed - effective, but expensive and not safe for the liver. Therefore, we invite you to consider an alternative treatment option - using folk remedies.
The effectiveness of cleansing brain vessels with herbs
It is very important to clean and strengthen the walls of blood vessels in time - this will help eliminate negative symptoms and improve not only blood circulation, but also general condition. There are many medications that help cleanse blood vessels of toxic substances, including cholesterol. Not all patients can afford medications, not everyone wants side effects, and not everyone is suitable for medications due to medical contraindications. There is an excellent alternative - treatment with herbal preparations based on medicinal herbs using traditional medicine methods.
Most of the oxygen consumed by a person is spent on the brain. There are most of the interweavings of numerous veins and arteries. You need to get rid of cholesterol plaques competently, without neglecting a doctor’s consultation and a full course of treatment.
The set of herbal collection and the duration of treatment depend on the reason why the movement through the blood vessels has worsened and the severity of the pathological process.
In addition to herbal treatment, experts recommend getting rid of slagging by adhering to the following recommendations:
- pay attention to products of plant rather than animal origin;
- instead of meat, pay attention to fish;
- drink about 2 liters of clean water during the day;
- remove processed foods and fast food from your diet;
- add garlic and onions as seasonings;
- give up tobacco products and drinks containing alcohol.
Despite their apparent harmlessness, herbs can also cause an allergic reaction. Therefore, before you start cleansing your own body, it is recommended to consult a specialist to avoid negative consequences.
Symptoms of brain damage
The main cause of problems is disturbances in the functioning of the circulatory system. They worsen a person’s overall quality of life and lead to the formation of cholesterol plaques, which can cause blockage of the vascular lumen. The brain constantly experiences acute starvation (it lacks both oxygen and nutrients), as a result of which the processes of cell death begin. Cleaning the blood vessels of the organ can significantly improve well-being, prolong the quality and lifespan.
Indications for its implementation:
- problems with hearing and vision that were not previously observed;
- decreased concentration, memory impairment;
- constant migraines;
- endocrine problems;
- diagnosing cholesterol and atherosclerotic plaques; weather sensitivity;
- depression, irritability;
- high blood pressure;
- high fatigue.
Contraindications
Some herbal remedies containing garlic are not advisable for patients with digestive problems. Garlic irritates the gastric mucosa, adding, in addition to cholesterol plaques, problems with the gastrointestinal tract.
Other herbal preparations have a diuretic effect. Such medications are contraindicated for people with diseases of the excretory system.
If there are already formed blood clots in the vessels, then there will be no benefit from such therapy, only harm. Therefore, in any case, tests and examinations, as well as consultation with a doctor, are required.
What drugs does traditional medicine recommend?
In medicine there are a large number of known means for cleansing blood vessels. They are not difficult to purchase in pharmacies. They should be taken for a long time, and this leads to the investment of considerable money. Such drugs include:
- Cholesterol-lowering drugs - Zocor, Lescor, Lipitor;
- Products containing vitamins PP and B3 - Niaspam, Nikolar;
- To remove bile acid - Cholestide, Questran, Velchol;
- Medicines for restoring fat metabolism - Clofibrate and Traykor.
The above drugs are taken only with the permission of a specialist, as they have their own contraindications and adverse reactions. For this reason, most patients prefer to clean blood vessels using folk remedies, especially since they are available to everyone.
