Hello I get that you’re worried about bypass surgery and are hoping Ayurveda might be a safer, more natural solution. PAD can be scary, but for many people, especially in the early to mid stages, Ayurveda can be a big help. Done right and early enough, it might even let you skip surgery. What’s PAD in Ayurveda terms? PAD = when the arteries in your legs get narrow or blocked. and it’s caused by: – Kapha (like cholesterol buildup) – Meda (fat) – Ama (think sticky gunk) – Vata (causing pain and spasms) So, PAD isn’t just about your blood vessels; it’s more like a mix of metabolic and circulation problems. Can you treat PAD sans surgery? Yes usually if: – You only feel pain when you walk – No gangrene or blackening – No ulcers that won’t heal – Blood flow is down, but not totally cut off You’re in what’s called the intermittent claudication stage, which can be turned around. You only really need a bypass if: – You’re in tons of pain even when resting – You’ve got gangrene – Tissue is dying – The artery is totally blocked What Ayurveda does for PAD –Clears out cholesterol and plaque –Thins out thick blood
–Gets the tiny blood vessels open
–Stops more blockages from forming Surgery can’t do that – it just makes a detour. AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT Artery-Clearing Medication 1. Guggulu Tiktaka Kashayam 2 tsp twice a day with warm water 2 Kanchanar Guggulu: 2 tabs twice a day 3. Triphala Guggulu 2 tabs twice a day 4. Arjuna churna: ½ tsp twice a day Blood-Flow Boosters 5 Punarnava Mandur 1 tab twice a day 6. Gokshuradi Guggulu 2 tabs twice a day These help with: – Leg circulation – Pain when walking – Cold feeling – Numbness PANCHAKARMA The real game-changer is: Basti therapy (a medicated enema) Especially: – Dashamoola Basti – Tikta Ksheera Basti This gets rid of: – Cholesterol in your blood – Vata spasms in your arteries – Deep circulation blockages It’s this that can help you dodge surgery. DIET PLAN AVOID – Oil – Ghee – Milk – Sugar –White rice – Fried stuff INCLUDE – Barley – Millets – Garlic – Ginger – Veggies –Warm water –PAD can be treated and sometimes reversed using natural methods – Often, surgery can be skipped – But you’ve got to stick to the plan with Panchakarma and meds Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate
