Circulation

Tinnitus "Senile Dementia", Periferal Vascular Disease
(eg. Intermittent Claudication and other Circulation Problems).

We can all expect to suffer, to some degree, from the effects of mental ageing, and epidemiological evidence shows the risk of diagnosable dementia to double with every five years. The cause is interruption in the blood supply to the brain either by a gradual decline or in a series of micro-occlusions or occasionally in a singular stroke incident; and the symptoms include: forgetfulness and concentration loss, dizziness, tinnitus, lethargy often with restlessness and insomnia, anxiety often with intermittent depression, headaches and general disorientation.

Current treatment of these problems is limited, non-existent or radical with strong side effects. There are however, Naturopathic, Herbal and Osteopathic treatments that have been clinically proven to give immense relief for these conditions with negligible or no side effects.

In particular a herb that is the only survivor from prehistoric vegetation 200 million years ago, is in the oldest known Chinese herbal, and has shown positive results in an array of clinical trials for cerebral insufficiency (dementia) including tinnitus intermittent claudication, ischaemic heart disease, asthma, and retinal disease. A 1992 Lancet review of all the research into this plants effectiveness found many trials to be conclusive and concluded recommending its use for cerebral insufficiency and P.O.A.D. (intermittent claudication), and that there appeared to be no side effects, and the authors Kleijen and Knipschild concluded that they would use it!

This herb's effectiveness against tinnitus can be combined with Osteopathic techniques that free the circulation to the inner ears and balance centres to provide the only treatment for this condition (in either the conventional or naturopathic field). Relief is gained in the majority of cases, occasionally a cure is illicited.

Osteopathy has shown clinical evidence in freeing arterial supply to the head, known to become progressively restricted by disc thinning and other (often painless) structural ageing that occurs in the neck of all of us. Osteopathy can be combined with herbal compounds and other naturopathic approaches to treat cerebral insufficiency.

Similarly, Osteopathic manual techniques can be used with herbal compounds for intermittent claudication, usually improving this condition enough to create walking a few hundred yards possible in most cases.
