Renal Artery Stenosis & Homeopathic Treatment

Renal artery stenosis is a blocking or narrowing of the major arteries that are responsible for supplying blood to the kidneys. Blockage occurs when the blood flow to the kidneys is constricted by tissue or atherosclerotic plaque. Kidney failure can result from the the diminished blood supply as atrophy may set in. Renal artery blockage may also occur, as well as high blood pressure and renovascular hypertension. Lifestyle measures can help, such as eating healthy.

Lifestyle Changes

• Homeopathic remedies include lifestyle changes. Eating a healthy diet is essential. Reduce the intake of fat in your diet, as well as salt and high cholesterol foods. Quit smoking as smoking causes additional damage to arteries. Cut out alcohol. With the approval of your doctor, engage in moderate exercise. You should not do strenuous activity.

Diet

• Better blood pressure control is necessary for patients with renal artery stenosis . The arteries, veins and capillaries in the body normally have about 5 liters of blood running through them in the average adult. Blood delivers oxygen from our lungs to our bodies. Lowering your cholesterol is one way to help control your blood pressure. It decreases obstructions in the blood vessels and allows for freer flow of blood.

  Each morning eat a fiber-rich breakfast, such as oatmeal. Switch to grains, choosing whole grain breads, crackers and bagels, and stay away from hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils. Eat beans at least three times a week. Each day, eat five servings of fruit and vegetables. Have fish in your diet at least two times a week.

  With a few simple dietary changes, you will be lowering your cholesterol, controlling blood pressure, clearing your arteries and taking charge of your condition.
