Natural and Alternative Atherosclerosis Treatment Options

Atherosclerosis Treatment {introduction}

Atherosclerosis is a disease in which plaque builds up inside your arteries, limiting the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your body. Typically symptoms are not seen until your arteries are severely narrow or completely blocked. This can lead to serious problems, such as Coronary Artery Disease, Carotid Artery Disease, and Peripheral Arterial Disease.

Below you will find alternative and natural treatment options including those from a Chinese Medicine perspective for Atherosclerosis.

TCM Diagnostic Patterns Related to Atherosclerosis

Listed below are Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnostic patterns that are commonly involved with this western medical condition/symptom. Properly applied, Chinese Medicine (including acupuncture and herbal medicine) treats patterns not individual symptoms/conditions which may better account for the range of symptoms often experienced by individuals. Pattern diagnosis/treatment is a crucial part of using Chinese Medicine for disease prevention instead of focusing on solely symptomatic treatments as is somewhat more common in western medicine. For more on this concept, please read What Does Acupuncture Treat? Or Treating the "Cause" and not the "Symptoms".

Blood Stagnation, Kidney Qi Deficiency, Liver Qi Stagnation, Phlegm Stagnation
