Cerebral atherosclerosis or cerebral vascular atherosclerosis is a serious pathology and requires combined treatment. It occurs as a result of disruption of blood flow in the vessels due to blockage of their lumen with cholesterol deposits. The disease is characterized by headaches, sleep disturbances, tinnitus, mental disorders, and increased fatigue.
Since atherosclerosis has a long course, in the initial stages, you can use a prescription and traditional medicine to treat cerebral atherosclerosis. Herbal infusions, medicinal tinctures and decoctions will help reduce cholesterol levels, which is the cause of the disease, and alleviate the symptoms of the pathology.
Traditional medicine in the fight against cerebral atherosclerosis
Cleaning the blood vessels of the brain from cholesterol deposits with folk remedies can prevent such dangerous complications as stroke and cerebrovascular insufficiency. Signs of clogged blood vessels may include:
- noise in ears;
- high pressure;
- weather dependence;
- sleep disorders;
- headache;
- decreased performance;
- deterioration of hearing, memory, attention and vision.
Natural medicines are used to cleanse blood vessels. They act slowly, but have a softer and more gentle effect. Atherosclerosis develops due to the deposition of excess cholesterol on the inner wall of blood vessels, which occurs due to an increase in low-density lipoproteins and high blood sugar levels.
The latter negatively affects the condition of the walls of blood vessels. It is at the sites of damage that the lipid components of the blood attach, gradually forming a plaque. Gradually, the lumen of the vessels narrows, which impedes normal blood flow. Brain tissue begins to experience nutritional deficiency.
Folk remedies for cerebral atherosclerosis do not have an immediate effect; their use is long-term, but the effect is persistent and, unlike medications, the risk of overdose is eliminated. Nevertheless, the possibility of treatment with folk remedies should be discussed with your doctor.

"Good" and "bad" cholesterol
Cholesterol is popularly considered to be the culprit of all ills associated with impaired vascular function. But such a statement does not correspond to reality. Cholesterol is a complex substance belonging to the class of alcohols, insoluble in water and found in all living organisms, except plants and fungi.
About 80% of cholesterol is produced by human internal organs, and 20% of its total amount enters the body with food.
Why produce this substance if it subsequently settles on the walls of blood vessels and leads to atherosclerosis? The fact is that not all cholesterol is created equal. For transportation in the body, it attaches to special proteins, forming lipoproteins. There are several types of such compounds: high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and, accordingly, low-density lipoproteins (LDL). HDL is the so-called “good” cholesterol. It is necessary for the synthesis of various hormones, bile acids and vitamin D, and is also one of the components of the system for regulating cell permeability. HDL is absolutely safe for blood vessels, since it is perfectly processed by a healthy body and does not precipitate.
Low-density lipoproteins are poorly soluble and tend to precipitate from cholesterol, thereby forming the notorious atherosclerotic plaques on the walls of large and medium-sized arteries, which narrow the bloodstream.
Garlic for atherosclerosis
Garlic and products containing this root vegetable have proven themselves to be effective methods for cleansing arteries of atherosclerotic plaques and preventing the formation of new deposits. Eating garlic helps cleanse the blood and reduce viscosity and clotting.
It contains selenium, which is known to have a beneficial effect on hematopoietic processes. Garlic also destroys cholesterol plaques and blood clots, reduces low-density lipoprotein levels and strengthens the walls of blood vessels. The consumption of this root vegetable is recommended for people with high blood pressure, as it has a vasodilating effect.

In the absence of contraindications to its use, garlic can improve the cardiovascular system. To preserve all the medicinal properties of garlic, it is recommended to prepare products from it in the fall. It is in the freshly harvested root vegetable that the greatest concentration of healing substances is preserved.
All the healing qualities of garlic against cerebral atherosclerosis can be assessed by preparing a Tibetan tincture. It normalizes the level of bad cholesterol and blood sugar. You can prepare it by following the following algorithm:
- 200 g of chopped garlic is poured with alcohol and placed in an airtight container. It is advisable to crush it with a wooden masher.
- Store in a dark place for 10 days.
- Strain and leave to infuse for 4 days.
- Take with milk heated until warm.
- The duration of the course of treatment is until the drug runs out.
To obtain the effect, you must follow the treatment regimen. It should be taken 3 times a day, increasing the number of drops with each dose. You need to start with one drop and work up to 15 drops. So, the first dose in the morning before breakfast is 1 drop, lunch – 2, dinner – 3 and then increasing by one drop. Following this scheme, at the end of the 5th day before dinner you should take 15 drops.
Then, the next day, start with 15 drops and decrease by one with each dose. By the end of the 10th day, if everything has been calculated correctly, the dosage should be one drop. Starting from the 11th day of administration until the end of the tincture, you must take 25 drops 3 times a day. This cleaning is done once every 3 years, not more often.
During treatment, you must follow an anti-cholesterol diet and drink at least 2 liters of water per day.
There is another, no less effective, method of treating ischemic atherosclerosis using garlic. It also includes lemon. The recipe is as follows: 4 lemons and 4 heads of garlic are crushed in a blender and placed in a three-liter glass jar.

The mixture is poured with boiled and cooled water until the container is full. The jar should be kept in a dry and dark place for 3 days. During this time, you need to stir the contents 2-3 times a day. After this period has expired, the liquid is filtered and placed in the refrigerator for storage.
Should be taken three times a day, 50 ml for 40 days. Cleaning with this product is carried out once a year. For chronic stomach diseases, garlic in combination with lemon can negatively affect your health. This point should be taken into account by people with chronic stomach diseases.
Garlic has long been considered the best remedy in the fight against cholesterol deposits in blood vessels.
Herbal cleansing
The most common recipe is a collection of burdock root, mint, birch leaves, cudweed grass, and rose hips. The ratio of all ingredients is 1 to 1. Pour a teaspoon into a glass of boiled water. The collection should sit for 30 minutes. You need to drink the product three times a day. Drink half a glass.
A simpler remedy is an infusion of burdock roots alone. Pour 2 tablespoons of the plant into a liter of boiled water. For 3 months you need to drink half a glass every day on an empty stomach.

Signs of cerebrovascular accident
Pathologies of cerebral circulation can be acute or chronic.
In the first case, symptoms appear quickly, and then increase if no measures are taken. In the second, the symptoms are often blurred, and at first they look like ordinary fatigue. But in the future it develops and leads to personality degradation. The characteristics of each variety and stage will be different. Common to all forms are:
- headaches for no apparent reason;
- dizziness;
- memory impairment;

Healthy sleep
As mentioned, the glymphatic system only cleanses the brain during sleep. Therefore, the quality of night's rest plays a major role in detoxifying the central nervous system. If you get good sleep, your brain is perfectly cleansed of toxins and harmful proteins.
If you don't sleep enough hours or suffer from insomnia, then the glymphatic system does not have enough time to completely remove waste. After all, she cannot work while she is awake.
Therefore, it is very important to get good sleep. You need to pay attention to the following points:
- daily regime;
- eating at night;
- sleep conditions.
Evening diet
If you have problems falling asleep, then pay attention to your evening diet. Dinner should not be plentiful and consist of high-calorie dishes. Otherwise, at night the body will spend energy on digesting food, and it will be very difficult for you to sleep. In the evening hours you should not drink coffee, strong tea and alcohol.
