Treating circulatory disorders with naturopathy The arteries transport oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the entire body. Healthy arteries are elastic and can adapt to blood pressure. In the case of arteriosclerosis, however, deposits (plaques) of connective tissue, blood cells, cholesterol, fatty acids and proteins lead to thickening, hardening and decreasing elasticity of the inner layers of the vessel wall. The diameter becomes smaller. The blood can no longer flow through unhindered. The changes in the vessel wall develop slowly and are medically known as atherosclerosis. Arteriosclerosis is the main cause of heart attacks, high blood pressure, angina pectoris, memory disorders, dementia, stroke and kidney failure. Typical of Raynaud's syndrome are sudden painful vascular spasms with circulatory disorders, mainly in the fingers, less frequently in the toes. They can last up to half an hour. The symptoms are cold, white or blue fingers, discomfort and numbness. If the blood flows back into the fingers, they become red and painful. Naturopathy has a holistic effect. It does not just treat individual symptoms, but looks at the whole person, i.e. body, soul and spirit. I wish you much success, joy in life and, above all, health.
