Arteriosclerosis means “hardening or inflammation of the arteries.” It’s a general medical term that refers to your normally flexible artery walls becoming hard or stiff. Your arteries are blood vessels that deliver oxygen-rich blood from your heart to all the organs and tissues in your body. Hardening of your arteries can interfere with blood flow and disrupt the normal workings of your circulatory system.
Arteriosclerosis is a gradual process that occurs over many years. It can be dangerous because it develops silently. You may have no symptoms for a long time until the hardening of your arteries leads to complications. Arteriosclerosis raises your risk for a wide range of cardiovascular diseases (conditions affecting your heart and blood vessels).
People often use “arteriosclerosis” interchangeably with “atherosclerosis.” However, these words have slightly different definitions.
Arteriosclerosis is hardening of the arteries from any cause. Atherosclerosis is hardening that happens due to plaque buildup. It’s one specific type of arteriosclerosis, and probably the one you’ve heard the most about. It’s helpful to learn about the other types of arteriosclerosis, too, and how they can affect your body.
Types of arteriosclerosis
There are three main types of arteriosclerosis: 
Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is the gradual buildup of plaque (atheroma) in the walls of your medium and large arteries. A few examples include your:
- Aorta.
- Coronary arteries.
- Carotid arteries.
- Femoral arteries.
- Iliac arteries.
Plaque builds up in the innermost layer of your artery wall (tunica intima).
This usually causes no problems or symptoms in the early stages. But as the plaque grows, it gradually narrows the opening (lumen) of your artery. This creates less room for blood to flow. Plaque buildup also raises your risk for blood clots, which can form on the plaque and block blood flow entirely. Clots can trigger medical emergencies like a heart attack or stroke.
Arteriolosclerosis
While atherosclerosis affects medium or large arteries, arteriolosclerosis affects small arteries. These are called your arterioles, and they’re the connectors between your larger arteries and your capillaries. They play an important role in controlling your blood pressure, or how forcefully blood moves through your body.
Arteriolosclerosis is the thickening of the walls of your arterioles. This can affect arterioles throughout your body, including those in your kidneys or brain. When your arterioles’ walls are too thick, they can’t do their job properly. Blood may not be able to reach your organs, leading to complications.
Mönckeberg medial calcific sclerosis
Another name for this condition is medial arterial calcification. It means there’s calcium buildup in the middle layer of your artery wall (tunica media). Calcification of this middle layer causes your artery wall to harden. This often happens in people older than 50, but it may happen sooner if you have certain medical conditions (like chronic kidney disease). This condition can cause blood flow problems and raise your risk for cardiovascular complications.
Symptoms and Causes
Arteriosclerosis usually doesn’t cause symptoms until it leads to complications. Symptoms vary widely depending on the problem and can include: 
- Burning or aching pain in feet at rest.
- Changes in how often you pee.
- Chest pain or discomfort.
- Dizziness.
- Dry, itchy or numb skin.
- Fatigue.
- Heart palpitations.
- Leg pain (intermittent claudication).
- Nausea or vomiting.
- Shortness of breath.
- Slurred speech or trouble communicating.
- Sores on feet.
- Edema.
- Vision loss in one eye.
- Weakness on one side of body.
What causes arteriosclerosis?
Anatomical changes to the artery wall cause arteriosclerosis. These changes are microscopic at first and happen at the level of cells, for example, damage to the endothelium (artery’s inner lining) causes atherosclerosis. Often, such changes happen as a person gets older or due to allopathic drugs.
Risk factors for arteriosclerosis
Factors that lead to hardening of the arteries include:
- Chronic kidney disease.
- High blood pressure.
- High cholesterol (cholesterol itself is not hazardous).
- Increasing age.
- Lack of physical activity.
- Metabolic syndrome.
- Tobacco use.
- Type 2 diabetes.
Work with a healthcare provider to identify your risk factors. For instance, underlying conditions with lifestyle changes and medications can go a long way toward keeping your arteries healthy.
What is the impact of arteriosclerosis?
When your arteries are too stiff, it’s harder for oxygen and nutrients to reach your organs and tissues, Arteriosclerosis disrupts normal blood flow through the body. Therefore, hardening of the arteries can lead to complications for example: 
- Aneurysms.
- Carotid artery disease.
- Coronary artery disease.
- Critical limb ischemia.
- Heart attack.
- Kidney failure.
- Mesenteric ischemia.
- Peripheral artery disease.
- Pulmonary embolism.
- Renal artery stenosis.
- Stroke.
- Thrombosis.
- Transient ischemic attack.
It’s possible to have more than one type of arteriosclerosis, and their combined effects can make problems occur sooner than usual.
For example, some research suggests that medial arterial calcification can speed up the process of arterial narrowing in a person having atherosclerosis. This is because our artery wall normally responds to the formation of plaque in intima (its inner wall) by expanding outward, this narrows our artery for blood flow. When the middle layer (media) is stiff, our artery wall will not flexible enough to expand outward. As a result, plaque (cholesterol) buildup in the intima encroaches on the lumen and causes it to narrow.
Diagnosis and Tests
A good doctor will diagnose this condition by:
Performing a physical exam.
Asking questions about patient’s biological family history, lifestyle and symptoms.
Ordering tests for example: tests to check the health of patient’s blood vessels, assess blood flow and evaluate his/her heart function. Possible tests include:
- Abdominal ultrasound.
- Angiography.
- Ankle-brachial index.
- Carotid ultrasound.
- Chest X-ray.
- Computed tomography (CT) scan.
- Echocardiogram (echo).
- Electrocardiogram (EKG).
- Exercise stress test.
Allopathic treatment for arteriosclerosis
Atherosclerosis allopathic treatment includes lifestyle changes, medications, procedures or surgeries. Depending on the location of atherosclerosis, a patient my need to see a cardiologist, nephrologist, neurologist and/or vascular surgeon.
Common treatment goals include:
- Lowering the risk of blood clots.
- Preventing complications like a heart attack or stroke.
- Easing symptoms.
- Advise dieting regimes.
- Slowing or stopping plaque buildup in the arteries.
- Improving blood flow by widening the arteries or bypassing (avoiding) blockages.
Allopathic medications
Medications target risk factors for plaque buildup and may help slow the progression of atherosclerosis. Your provider may prescribe medications that lower your blood pressure for example: adrenergic blockers (including alpha, beta, alpha-beta and peripherally acting blockers), Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), Calcium channel blockers (including dihydropyridines and nondihydropyridines), Centrally acting alpha-agonists, Direct vasodilators, diuretics (including potassium-sparing, loop, thiazide and thiazide-type diuretics).
Drug for cholesterol, manage patient’s blood sugar levels and prevent blood clots.
Doctor has to inform about side effects of all these allopathic drugs (severe side effects like – Alzheimer diseases, Parkinson disease, dementia, seizures, vertigo, hepatic diseases, renal failure and diseases etc).
Surgeries
Various minimally invasive procedures and complex surgeries can help patients with severe blockages or a high risk of complications, but they still will take allopathic drugs (after surgery) for life time. Common treatment options include:
- Angioplasty.
- Atherectomy.
- Carotid endarterectomy.
- Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
- Peripheral artery bypass.
- Stent placement.
- Vascular disease bypass.
Homeopathic Treatment for atherosclerosis
There’s nothing you can do to prevent age-related risk but it’s very easy to treat these age-related changes and disease with Homeopathy. That’s why it’s important for all doctors to learn Homeopathy and treat their patients without surgeries and for lifetime that’s mean life without medication and dieting regimens. Here are few of my experienced medicines for atherosclerosis:

Rauwolfia
Rauwolfia or ‘” Choti Chandan or Sarpa Gandha”, alkaloids work by controlling nerve impulses along certain nerve pathways. As a result, they act on the heart and blood vessels to lower blood pressure.
Rauwolfia q due to its sedative action helps reduce high blood pressure including insanity-produced irritation of the central nervous system and alleviates its associated symptoms such as irregular beats, increased emotional excitability, and mild depression. Rauwolfia serpentina q is also used as a laxative, diuretic, and antidote to snake venom and helps during delivery to stimulate the uterine contractions and promote the expulsion of the fetus. It also helps to be used in the treatment of a person with some combination of hallucinations, delusions, and extremely disordered thinking and behavior that impairs daily functioning.

Characteristics. Quebracho is a Brazilian fever remedy from which the alkaloid Aspidospermine has been isolated. Hale says Queb. produces in animals’ respiratory paralysis, slowed heart, and paralysis of extremities. It relieves dyspnea in phthisis and pleurisy, but without influencing the fever.
The 1x relieved asthma with livid face; and dyspnea with cyanosis is frequently relieved by it.
Hale gives these cases as relieved by it:
1) Mitral incompetence and stenosis with severe nocturnal dyspnea. Aortic valve stenosis.
2) Fatty heart (Queb. had no influence on the oedema, which was removed by Dig.). Jos. P. Cobb (quoted A. H., xxvii. 74) records a case of heart affection of some duration in a man, 24. There was some enlargement, especially of right side, much dyspnea, and a slight mitral murmur.
Following this were signs of emphysema and severe attacks of asthma. Stool heard, and “pearls” of rounded gelatinous masses were expectorated. Aspidospermine 3x gave more relief than any other remedy.

Butter Can Reduce Your Heart Disease Risk
Saturated fats often get a bad rap. Claims over the last 30 years have falsely linked fat and saturated fats to an increased risk of heart disease, obesity, and high cholesterol. But that’s not true. Fat is actually vital to a healthy diet, and the right types of saturated fats can even provide important health benefits. For thousands of years, the ancient traditions of Herbal and Ayurvedic medicine have referred to a particular saturated fat as “liquid gold” with incredible healing powers. This saturated fat can even reduce your risk of heart disease. What is it? It is clarified butter, commonly known as daisee ghee. The regular consumption of daisee ghee could lower your risk of cardiovascular disease. The ghee also remarkably decreased serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein (LDL), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), which are all factors for an increased risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease.A preliminary study published in the Journal of Dairy & Bioscience also showed that high doses of medicated ghee helped to lower serum cholesterol, cholesterol esters, triglycerides, and phospholipids in patients with psoriasis, which supports a decreased risk of developing heart disease.Daisee Ghee has also been shown to improve the appearance of skin, reducing pruritis (itching), scaling, and erythema (redness). The conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in daisee ghee can also reduce inflammation, as a result, heart disease may be prevented.What makes clarified butter different from regular butter is that daisee ghee has removed the casein protein, lactose, and other dairy solids, so it can serve as a good butter substitute for those who are lactose-intolerant.Daisee ghee is also pure butterfat and can be used for cooking at higher temperatures, with a smoke point of 485 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter will often burn at high temperatures.
Daisee ghee also has several other health benefits:
- Aid digestion,
- Enhance memory and intelligence,
- Treat anemia, blood disorders, and chronic fevers.
Ghee is also high in butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid that inhibits cancer growth and contains antiviral properties. Butyric acid can also prevent and reverse the effects of weight gain.
Sounds like “liquid gold” to me. But where do you find such a powerful food?
