Arteriovenous Malformation Treatment by Herbal Remedies

Abstract

Arteriovenous malformation is a coiling or tangling of abnormal blood vessels connecting the arteries and veins of the brain. It may occur everywhere in the body but occurs most commonly in the brain. People who are suffering from this disease think that it is very difficult to treat but don’t worry we came here with a solution for you in this study. Modern science generally gives surgery as a treatment but ayurveda treats it with its tremendous herbs. Ayurveda is a system of medicine which gives you perfect treatment without any side effects. Planet ayurveda made it easy for you to cure your disease. Let us study the whole facts about AVM. 

Arteriovenous Malformation

Introduction 

Arterio-venous malformation is an abnormal connection between the arteries and veins of the body. The word arteriovenous malformation is made up of two words arterio-venous is used for channels between veins and arteries and malformation means abnormality in formation. The role of arteries is to carry oxygen rich blood from heart to all body parts and veins carry deoxygenated blood from all body parts to heart and lungs. AVM disarranges this whole vital process. AVM is less common and influences less than 1% of the total population. Once it is diagnosed it can be treated soon to prevent the complications. Ayurveda treatment is very efficient for AVM. As per ayurveda AVM is taken under raktavaha srotodushti. As arteries (dhamni) and veins (sira) are considered as updhatu (secondary tissue) of raktavaha srotas (channels involved in blood circulation).  We prefer you to take ayurvedic treatment. It treats you with natural herbal formulas without any side effects. So it is better to go for ayurvedic treatment rather than any other option.

Symptoms of AVM

AVM may not lead to any symptoms prior to the AVM rupture. AVM rupture results in hemorrhage (bleeding). Bleeding is the first sign in mostly all of the AVM.

 Symptoms other than bleeding are

  • Pain in one area or whole head
  • Seizures
  • Muscle weakness
  • Numbness in body parts

Further stage of AVM may lead to severe symptoms such as

  • Numbness or paralysis
  • Severe headache
  • Loss of vision
  • Difficulty in speaking
  • Confusion
  • Cognitive symptoms
  • Loss of coordination
  • Weakness in lower extremities
  • Dizziness
  • Back pain
  • Hallucinations

Symptoms usually begin at any age, commonly occurring between 10-40 age groups. AVM can damage body tissues, slowly build up and lead to several symptoms in early childhood. Once people suffering from AVM reach the middle age, AVM remains stable and causes symptoms less likely.

Causes of AVM

The cause is generally unknown, but in most of the cases AVM makes an appearance during baby development. The major cause of AVM is development of abnormal connections between arteries and veins but nobody understood why this happens. Maybe the problem may arise from certain genetic factors, but mostly are not usually come into.

Also some risk factors are there for AVM such as- it’s common in case of males. Beside this a family history plays a major role in the development of AVM.

Never get anxious if the test remains positive for AVM, just visit an ayurvedic doctor and get treated within minimal time.

Ayurvedic view of AVM

As per ayurveda we consider it under raktavaha srotodushti. Let’s make you familiar with what are raktavaha srotas. Raktavaha srotas are the system that takes part in blood circulation. The reason behind why we consider AVM under raktavaha srotas dushti is as dhamni (arteries) and sira (veins) are secondary tissue of rakta (blood). So, we can deal with AVM as raktavaha srotodushti as per ayurveda.
