Every person at various stages of his life is faced with ischemic disorders, which can affect any organs and tissues, including the brain. Such pathologies not only cause a lot of discomfort (headaches and dizziness, tinnitus, weakness), but also reduce the degree of social adaptation (weakened memory and intelligence, loss of important brain functions - speech, hearing, etc.).
There are many medicinal plants that are successfully used by herbalists to normalize hemodynamics and prevent many diseases (from Alzheimer's disease to chronic cerebral ischemia or stroke).
Some medicinal herbs actually have a proven ability to improve cerebral circulation.
The effectiveness of cleansing brain vessels with herbs
It is very important to clean and strengthen the walls of blood vessels in time - this will help eliminate negative symptoms and improve not only blood circulation, but also general condition. There are many medications that help cleanse blood vessels of toxic substances, including cholesterol. Not all patients can afford medications, not everyone wants side effects, and not everyone is suitable for medications due to medical contraindications. There is an excellent alternative - treatment with herbal preparations based on medicinal herbs using traditional medicine methods.
Most of the oxygen consumed by a person is spent on the brain. There are most of the interweavings of numerous veins and arteries. You need to get rid of cholesterol plaques competently, without neglecting a doctor’s consultation and a full course of treatment.
The set of herbal collection and the duration of treatment depend on the reason why the movement through the blood vessels has worsened and the severity of the pathological process.
In addition to herbal treatment, experts recommend getting rid of slagging by adhering to the following recommendations:
- pay attention to products of plant rather than animal origin;
- instead of meat, pay attention to fish;
- drink about 2 liters of clean water during the day;
- remove processed foods and fast food from your diet;
- add garlic and onions as seasonings;
- give up tobacco products and drinks containing alcohol.
Despite their apparent harmlessness, herbs can also cause an allergic reaction. Therefore, before you start cleansing your own body, it is recommended to consult a specialist to avoid negative consequences.
A little physiology
The endometrium is the mucous membrane of the uterus that lines the organ from the inside. The shell is supplied with a large number of large blood vessels. Its main task is to create favorable conditions for implantation of the fertilized egg. The average normal thickness of the endometrium is 7 mm. Both thickening and thinning of this layer lead to failure in conception.
Normally, the endometrium consists of two layers - basal and functional. The main feature of the endometrium is its very high sensitivity to monthly changes in hormonal levels. A new menstrual cycle begins with the rejection of the functional layer of the mucous membrane. Outwardly this is manifested by menstruation. The concentration of hormones is at a functional minimum. After the end of menstruation, the concentration of estrogen, which is responsible for the growth of the endometrium, begins to gradually increase. The functional layer is gradually restored - this is the regenerative phase of the menstrual cycle. At the same time, a follicle matures in one of the ovaries.
Approximately in the middle of the cycle, when the amount of estrogen is at its peak, ovulation occurs - a mature egg is released into the abdominal cavity, then into the ampullary part of the fallopian tube, where conception occurs.
In place of the burst follicle, a corpus luteum appears, producing progesterone. Under its influence, glands begin to mature in the endometrium - the mucous membrane prepares for implantation of a fertilized egg. If conception does not occur, the levels of progesterone and estrogen begin to gradually decrease. As soon as it reaches a minimum, the functional layer will begin to be rejected again. A new menstrual cycle will begin.

Contraindications
Some herbal remedies containing garlic are not advisable for patients with digestive problems. Garlic irritates the gastric mucosa, adding, in addition to cholesterol plaques, problems with the gastrointestinal tract.
Other herbal preparations have a diuretic effect. Such medications are contraindicated for people with diseases of the excretory system.
If there are already formed blood clots in the vessels, then there will be no benefit from such therapy, only harm. Therefore, in any case, tests and examinations, as well as consultation with a doctor, are required.
Diagnostics
Diagnosis of thin endometrium is based on three principles:
- interviewing the patient;
- gynecological examination;
- additional examination.
During the interview, the doctor details all complaints, clarifies their nature, time and possible cause of occurrence, and dynamics. This will be followed by a gynecological examination, during which the doctor may identify some causes of thin endometrium, such as underdeveloped uterus or congenital anomalies.
Additional research methods are used:
- flora smears;
- laboratory methods to identify the causative agent of infectious diseases;
- tests to determine the level of hormones in the blood;
- ultrasound examination;
- CT;
- MRI;
- hysteroscopy;
- diagnostic laparoscopy.
Based on the results of additional research methods, the doctor will make a final diagnosis and prescribe treatment.
