Embolism Definition - #18421
I recently lost a close family member due to an embolism, and I’m trying to understand more about it. The doctors explained it to us, but everything sounded very medical, and I still don’t fully understand what an embolism is and how it happens. Can you explain the embolism definition in a way that makes sense? I read that an embolism is when a blood clot or something else blocks a blood vessel. Does that mean it only happens to people with poor circulation, or can it affect anyone? How does Ayurveda describe the causes of an embolism? I’m worried because my father has a history of high cholesterol and blood pressure. Are these risk factors for an embolism? What natural Ayurvedic remedies can help prevent an embolism from happening in the first place? Some sources say that embolisms can come from fatty deposits, air bubbles, or even bacteria in the bloodstream. If that’s true, does Ayurveda offer treatments to cleanse the blood and keep circulation healthy? Are there any early warning signs of an embolism that a person should watch for? Can Ayurveda help detect circulation issues before they become dangerous? I’ve been looking into lifestyle changes to reduce my family’s risk of embolism. Are there any specific Ayurvedic dietary guidelines or herbal remedies that support healthy blood flow and prevent blockages? I’m also curious about Ayurveda’s view on blood-thinning herbs. Are there any natural ways to keep blood from clotting too much without relying on medication?
