When fats, cholesterol and other substances build up in and on your artery walls (plaque), it is called Athrosclerosis. These substances narrow the lumen of the artery resulting in reduction of oxygen and blood supply to the organs. The plaque can burst, triggering a blood clot as well. Although atherosclerosis is often considered a heart problem, it can affect arteries anywhere in your body, thereby affecting other organs like eyes, kidney, legs, gut or the brain.
Various risk factors that contribute in the formation of atherosclerosis include that of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, lack of physical activity, cigarette smoking, having more of junk or fatty food etc.
Atherosclerosis often does not have any symptoms until a plaque ruptures or the build-up is severe enough to block blood flow.
Several homeopathic medicines are available to treat atherosclerosis selected on the basis of cause, sensations and modalities of the complaints. We try to give preventive as well as curative treatment. If the patient is already suffering from the disease, in those cases homoeopathic medicines can be administered as preventive. Homoeopathic medicines work very well in case of recurrence. Hence, Homoeopathic Medicine can be used as preventive, curative as well as in some case palliative.
