Arteriosclerosis – etiology and pathogenesis.
Arteriosclerosis {ahr-tir-ee-oh-skluh-roh’-sis} is a general diagnosis that covers some disorders of the cardiovascular system related to the blood circulation problem in the arteries and small capillary vessels. Atherosclerosis attacks all layers of the arterial membranes. Arteriosclerosis is frequently described as “hardening of the arterial group of blood vessels.”
Arteriosclerosis develops very slowly and takes years for arteries to develop zones of hardness and rigidness. The affected arteries turn out to be thickened and at the same time the arterials’ membrane loses elasticity. Arteriosclerosis may form in the coronary arteries, as well as in the vessels of kidneys, brain, and limbs. The deposition of an excess of calcium causes hardness of the arterial membranes.
Arteriosclerosis vs. Atherosclerosis
It is important to understand that there is a significant difference between Arteriosclerosis and Atherosclerosis, regardless the fact that these two terms sound alike.
Arteriosclerosis, as we mentioned before, happens as a result of the significant calcium deposit in the superficial and deep layers of the arterial walls, while a buildup of cholesterol on the internal coating of arteries causes atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis, thus frequently results in coronary blood circulation disturbances, developing into heart attacks, strokes, etc.
Arteriosclerosis manifests in various symptoms depending upon the affected area of the body. This disease can develop into hypertension, angina, vertigo, erectile dysfunction in males, stroke, and renal failure.
Changes in daily routine (healthy eating, exercising, stop smoking) are the most important and efficient parts of complex treatment for atherosclerosis.
Homeopathic medicine has strong remedies to fight Arteriosclerosis
Baryta muriaticum [Bry] creates arteriosclerotic lacerations on the largest arteries of the body including aorta. These lacerations are comparable to senile atheroma. Baryta muriaticum is the closest and the most resemble homeopathic remedy to arteriosclerosis. The symptoms associated with Baryta muriaticum are:
- A severe headache, which becomes worse at night and in bed;
- Vertigo and Faintness in elderlies;
- Suddenlossofcorporalfunctions accompanied with tinnitus.
Arnica [Arn] is the best homeopathic remedy for cerebral forms of arteriosclerosis, accompanied with dizziness and vertigo in individuals who have a predisposition to bruises and hemorrhages.
Plumbum [Plumb] is suitable for patients with hypertension, spasm like narrowing of the outer arterial vessels, a thin pulse, and especially if all the symptoms are accompanied by a chronic nephritis. Patients usually have a feeling of pulsation in the tips of the fingers. An insignificant motion and changing of a body position may result in collapsing.
Aurum muriaticum [Aur-m] indicated to patients with the heart’s hypertrophy, blood congestion over the head and chest areas, rapid pulse and arrhythmia. Aurum muriaticum matches with elderly patients.
Strophanthus [Stroph] is the ideal remedy for Senile arteriosclerosis associated with fatty erosion of the internal lining of the arteries.
Arteriosclerosis – Holistic treatment.
Researchers have revealed some natural components that reverse the signs of arteriosclerosis of blood vessel membranes in elderly patients. These dietary enhancements boost the concentration of the superoxide dismutase (SOD) – the strongest antioxidant enzyme.
Two most recent clinical studies proved that these dietary supplements not only overturned symptoms of atherosclerosis in arterial vessels but appeared much more efficient than conventional prescription drugs.
Another effective method of treatment is acupuncture in combination with the Chinese medicinal herbology. This method is safe and harmless if performed by a well-trained practitioner.
The combination of homeopathic remedies, acupuncture, and herbal medicines usually improves patients’ condition in a matter of a few months.
Even people who have no symptoms of cardiovascular disease Very often elderly people developing a mute form of arteriosclerosis without any signs of cardiovascular instability.
Arteriosclerosis begins when the soft innermost layer of the arterial wall becomes broken and dysfunctional.
Gluey, fatty ingredients stick to the inner endothelial layer of the arteries and trap even tiny particles from the bloodstream. At some point, it stimulates a formation of blood clots.
These clots either block blood circulation or break apart, flow to the smaller vessels and lead to fatal blockages in the peripheral bloodstream.
