Can PAD (Peripheral Artery Disease) Be Managed Without Surgery? - #14848
A few months ago, my father started complaining about pain in his legs whenever he walked, especially in the calves. At first, we thought it was just muscle weakness or age-related tiredness, but the pain kept getting worse. Now, even after walking short distances, he has to stop and rest because his legs feel heavy and cramped. We finally went to the doctor, and after some tests, they said he has PAD (Peripheral Artery Disease). The doctor explained that PAD happens when the arteries in the legs get blocked or narrowed, reducing blood flow. They suggested medication and even mentioned the possibility of surgery if things get worse. This is really worrying because my father is already on medications for diabetes and high blood pressure. Adding more drugs doesn’t seem like the best solution, and surgery sounds risky. I started looking into natural ways to improve circulation and manage PAD without invasive procedures. I’ve heard that Ayurveda has treatments for poor circulation and artery health, but I don’t know what actually works. Can herbs or specific Ayurvedic therapies help with PAD? Are there natural ways to reduce artery blockage and improve blood flow? Has anyone managed their PAD with Ayurvedic treatments? What diet or lifestyle changes helped? Is it really possible to prevent the disease from getting worse without surgery? Any real experiences would be really helpful.
