The importance of proper circulation
Hypertension
Circulatory disorders are quite common in middle-aged and elderly
folk. Hypertension is one of them. It is caused by cholesterol plaque
deposits along the walls of the arteries, making them harden and
constrict. Because the arteries are constricted, the blood exerts
great force against the walls of the blood vessels, causing the blood
pressure to rise.
Hardening of the Arteries
Hardening of the arteries is another consequence because the arteries
narrow due to these same fatty deposits. Buergers disease, common
to those who smoke, is a chronic inflammation of the veins and arteries
in the lower extremities. Raynauds disease is marked by constriction
and spasm of the blood vessels in the extremities. The fingers toes
and tip of the nose. This disease if left untreated can lead to gangrene.
Varicose Veins
Additionally, poor circulation can result from varicose veins that
develop because of a loss of elasticity if the walls of the veins.
Circulatory problems are very prevalent in this age of bad food, little
if any exercise and higher stress levels. This problem is quite common
in a single leg or more often in both legs.
Get the blood moving
If you think of how the body works, the basic action of the blood
moving from cell to cell is of great importance to your health and
longevity. The best herb to handle any circulation problem is Cayenne.
Also know as Capsicum, the botanical name being Capsicum frutescens.
Cayenne is the species of capsicum that is used medicinally for its
stimulant and antiseptic actions, as well as its digestive properties.
Cayenne can be used externally for poor circulation, unbroken chilblains
and pains associated with arthritis or lumbago. Capsicum based creams,
liniments, and infused oils can be rubbed onto the skin. Avoid the
eyes and other sensitive area of the body.
Internally cayenne stimulates the heart, regulating the blood flow
and strengthening the arteries and capillaries. If you want to get
your blood flowing, and your face red with blood take cayenne tincture.
It will not only get the blood pumped around your body, but it will
strengthen your heart, clear your arteries, and research has shown
that hot herbs raise your metabolic rate by as much as 25%, so will
assist in weight loss. Cayenne is a wonderful herb for a healthy
life.
Ginkgo Biloba is another all-round circulation booster. It is most
widely know for its ability to improve memory, due to its ability
to increase blood flow through the brain. In Germany, Gingko is used
by physicians to treat varicose veins. It like cayenne improves blood
flow and strengthens blood vessels. Gingko is also anti-inflammatory,
relaxes the lungs, improves blood flow to the heart and lessens coronary
demand for oxygen -reducing shortness of breath and is helpful in
asthma. Use it to treat poor circulation, thrombosis, varicose veins,
cramp, and spontaneous bruising.
Probably the ultimate and most potent combination to combat
poor circulation is Cayenne, Ginger, Garlic and Ginkgo (See
below to order).
Modern research shows that a regular intake of Garlic, along will
many other curative properties, lowers cholesterol levels in the
blood. It cleanses the blood, tones the heart and circulatory system,
helps prevent heart disease, helps in high blood pressure and reduces
the risk of atherosclerosis*. Ginger stimulates all tissues of the
body and is fantastic for poor circulation. Ginger, Garlic, Ginkgo
and Cayenne in a tincture can be easily and speedily absorbed by
the body.
*atherosclerosis a degenerative disease of the arteries characterised
by patchy thickening of the inner lining of the arterial walls, caused
by deposits of fatty material.
Onion being a close relative to Garlic, increases blood circulation
and can relax muscles. Eat daily if you are at risk of heart disease
or circulatory disorders.
Hot and Cold Treatments
Hot and cold Showers or Hydrotherapy is a good way of improving
your circulation. It is something you can do every day, concentrating
on the effected area. When you get hot under a shower the blood rushes
to the skin and feeds it. Then when you immediately put on the cold,
the blood rushes to the internal organs. You shiver, but what is
happening is that your blood is flushing out your skin and leaving
it oxygenated. Then, again, a hot shower and the blood rushes from
your internal organs, so flushing them, to your skin.
Your circulation is increased just by the action of your blood being
forced rapidly around your body. This hot and then cold water can
be repeated up to 5 or 6 times for optimum results. Do not
start straight away on very hot or very cold water. Gradually
increase the temperature difference between the hot and cold water
over a period of a few weeks so that it is not too much of a shock
to the system. This single action can dramatically improve your circulation
over time.
You can also do this to a single body part. You don't just have to
do this to the whole body. Use it to improve poor leg circulation
or bad hand circulation etc. Try it. It really can make a difference
over time.
