Best Ayurvedic treatment for arterial disease

Peripheral arterial disease

Peripheral arterial disease from the point of view of Ayurveda

Peripheral artery disease (or peripheral arterial disease) is a common circulatory problem in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to your limbs. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in the legs or lower extremities is the narrowing or blockage of the vessels that carry blood from the heart to the legs.

With development of peripheral artery disease (PAD), patient’s legs or arms don't receive enough blood flow, and this may cause symptoms such as leg pain when walking. It is primarily caused by the buildup of fatty plaque in the arteries, which is called atherosclerosis. PAD can happen in any blood vessel, but it is more common in the legs than the arms.

If peripheral artery disease progresses, pain may even occur when you're at rest or when you're lying down.
