Effective Home Remedies For Arteriosclerosis

Thickening of the arterial wall is called Arteriosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a symptom that occurs prior to arteriosclerosis and it is characterized by the lining of the blood vessels being deposited by fatty acids and plaque. The most affected parts in this condition are the arteries of the heart and the brain. Arteriosclerosis causes reduction in the elasticity of the blood vessels, which makes them narrow. This in turn affects the circulation of blood to various parts of the body.

If this affects the blood circulation in the heart, it will lead to heart attack, coronary heart disease and angina attack. When the blood vessels in the heart are damaged, it might lead to conditions like stroke. Therefore, it is advisable to take care of your health by following some simple home remedies. These remedies are completely natural and can be easily prepared at home. However, you need to consult a doctor, before taking any of these remedies.
