Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease is a medical condition which causes a reduced blood supply to the arteries supplying the heart by a process known as atherosclerosis, in which fatty deposits accumulate in the walls of the arteries.  A partial block in the coronary arteries results in an attack of angina, while a complete block results in a heart attack.

Ayurvedic herbal treatment for coronary artery disease is aimed at reducing the deposits of atheroma which obstruct the lumen of the arteries, as well as treating other risk factors for coronary artery disease.  Ayurvedic herbal medicines which have a specific action on fat tissue and which prevent as also reduce atherosclerosis are used in high doses for prolonged periods in order to treat the root cause of coronary artery disease.  These herbal medicines also reduce overall cholesterol and lipid levels in the blood and regulate the reposition of fat in all the tissues, including the arteries.

Treatment also needs to be given for associated factors which contribute to an attack of angina or heart attack.  These causes include stress, high blood pressure, and diabetes.  All these contributory factors need to be treated aggressively so as to comprehensively reduce the risk for a heart attack.  Lifestyle changes also need to be made in order to reduce stress, manage weight, and undertake regular physical activity.  Most individuals who have confirmed atherosclerosis need Ayurvedic herbal treatment for periods ranging from three to nine months in order to significantly reduce the risk for heart attack.

Regular physical activity in the form of brisk walking, jogging, aerobic exercises, yogic asanas or a judicious combination of all the above-mentioned is important in order to reduce atherosclerosis and to reduce the long-term risk for an attack of angina or heart attack.  Individuals at risk also need to develop healthy eating habits and avoid foodstuffs containing high amounts of fat.  Stress can be reduced with the help of yogic asanas and breathing exercises as well as relaxation techniques.

Ayurvedic herbal treatment can thus contribute significantly in treating coronary artery disease and reducing the risk for heart attacks.

Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Stroke

Paralysis or stroke is a medical condition in which damage or dysfunction of the various parts of the body occurs due to pathology in the brain which results either from a diminished blood supply (80 -- 85%) or bleeding in the brain (15 to 20%).  The blood supply to the brain vessels is usually reduced because of atherosclerosis or blood clots known as emboli.  The symptoms of paralysis or stroke include weakness or paralysis of limbs, paralysis of muscles of the face, difficulty in speaking, coordination problems, giddiness and problems with vision, sudden headache, and loss of consciousness.  Depending upon which part of the brain is affected and how much the severity is, paralysis can result in monoplegia (affecting one limb), hemiplegia (affecting upper and lower limb of one side), and paraplegia (affecting both lower limbs).

Acute paralysis is a medical emergency and usually needs to be treated in the intensive care of hospital in order to avoid serious complications and death.  Once the acute stage has subsided, Ayurvedic herbal treatment needs to be initiated at the earliest, possibly within three to four days of the paralytic attack so as to obtain maximum benefit from treatment.  Ayurvedic herbal treatment for paralysis or stroke includes both oral medication as well as localized therapy.  Local therapy is in the form of application of medicated oils, fomentation with medicated decoctions, and massage with various herbal ointments and pastes.  Local therapy helps in stimulating neuromuscular junctions and in strengthening muscles and tendons.  This treatment also provides stimulus to the brain and nerves to heal at the earliest.

Oral medication is initially provided to heal the damage in the brain, and to reverse the pathology of the condition.  Since an ischemic attack results in reduced blood supply, Ayurvedic herbal medicines are given to treat atherosclerosis and blood clots if present.  In case of hemorrhagic paralysis, treatment is given to heal and soothe damaged arteries and capillaries.  Further treatment is given to heal damaged nerve cells and to help in the process of regeneration.  Treatment is then continued in order to rehabilitate the affected individual, minimize the damage, and bring about recovery to the maximum extent possible.  Graded exercises and physiotherapy are also a must along with oral medication and massage.

Depending upon the extent and severity of paralysis, most affected individuals usually require treatment for periods ranging from two weeks to six months.  Ayurvedic herbal treatment can bring about substantial and significant improvement in people affected with paralysis or stroke.

It is important to treat damage and dysfunction of vital organs on a priority basis, while managing a patient affected with SLE.  Early treatment can prevent irreversible damage and serious complications later on in life.  Most individuals affected with SLE need aggressive and regular treatment for periods ranging from 6 to12 months.  The advantage of Ayurvedic herbal treatment is that these medicines can be used for prolonged periods without any serious adverse effects, and these medicines are known to provide substantial benefit to patients affected with SLE.
