What decoctions should be drunk to strengthen and clean blood vessels — 7 recipes at home

Atherosclerosis is a chronic disease in which the lumen of the vessels narrows due to impaired lipid and protein metabolism in the body, which provokes the deposition of cholesterol and lipoproteins on the walls of arteries and veins.

All this leads to disruption of normal blood flow and the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, which can completely clog the vessel. At best, this will result in a myocardial infarction, at worst – a fatal outcome or a stroke of the brain.

To prevent the development of atherosclerosis, it is necessary to constantly monitor the level of "harmful" cholesterol in the blood. Is it possible to reduce it somehow at home with the help of alternative medicine herbs?

It turns out that the effectiveness of such methods is confirmed not only by folk healers, but also by scientists in modern research .

Which herbs and decoctions based on them are really effective in this regard according to scientists ? How long do you need to drink them? All the answers are in our article.

How and why to carry out the cleansing procedure?

Why does the body need cholesterol at all? It is involved in intercellular metabolic processes. And it is this element that stimulates the formation of cell membranes, which is part of the process of their regeneration.

At the same time, cholesterol there are two types - high (it is used by cells) and low density. The latter is oxidized at an extremely slow rate, so it is prone to accumulation in the blood. The body subsequently breaks it down as needed.

But if there is an excess of low-density cholesterol,  it can form so-called "cholesterol plaques", which are deposited on the walls of all blood vessels. Over time, they can significantly increase in size to a level that will interfere with normal blood flow.

And those same "cholesterol plaques" form the basis of blood clots, which cause heart attacks, strokes, varicose veins and other dangerous diseases of the cardiovascular system.

Vascular cleansing, in turn, involves normalizing the balance of cholesterol in the blood and preventing its accumulation on the walls of blood vessels. What will it take? The first step is to adjust your diet.

Cholesterol is found in large quantities in:

• Whole milk;
• Chicken meat;
• Beef;
• Pork;
• Eggs;
• Seafood;
• Butter and melted butter.

But in vegetable products (including healthy oils ) there is no cholesterol at all. Accordingly, in order to reduce its level in the blood, It is necessary to minimize the consumption of food rich in animal fats and easily digestible carbohydrates.

And will traditional medicine help to clean blood vessels and strengthen the heart? Yes, but such methods should be used as a supplement to the therapy prescribed by a doctor.

Self–medication without medical advice is not the best idea and can even do harm. Therefore, the following recipes can only be used for prevention or relief of the condition.
