Is treatment of Vegetovascular Dystonia (VVD) with folk remedies a necessary and sufficient condition for recovery?
Not always, as vegetovascular dystonia itself is not recognized as a separate disease – it is only a painful syndrome that can indicate the presence of various types of disorders:
• heart diseases,
• spinal injuries and cranial traumas,
• gastrointestinal disorders,
• endocrine system diseases.
Moreover, VVD can be a consequence of neurosis, depression, or simple exhaustion. Therefore, it is recommended to use VVD treatment at home only after consulting with doctors and diagnosing the cause from which it originated. Engaging in self-diagnosis and self-treatment can only worsen the body’s condition!
For example, VVD of the hypertonic type needs to be treated with the aim of not increasing but only lowering blood pressure. Accordingly, VVD of the hypotonic type needs to be treated by raising blood pressure. As for the treatment of VVD in children, mandatory examination by a pediatrician (and other doctors if necessary) is required to accurately diagnose dystonia and identify its causes. After all, a child’s body is more vulnerable to negative factors than an adult’s.
Folk approaches to treating VVD
It is worth noting that folk remedies for treating VVD do not differ in complexity or sophistication.
On the one hand, these are psychological techniques that allow improving the overall condition of the body – in case dystonia arises from neurosis or depression; on the other hand, it is herbal treatment, the proper combination of which is capable of curing many diseases, and therefore their syndromes.
So let’s consider the most effective remedies.
Set a positive mindset and overcome fear
A popular treatment for VVD according to Kurpatov is not even treatment as such, but rather autotraining, capable of eliminating many problems altogether. Although no autotraining is a panacea for serious illness! It is also necessary to use medical remedies and methods.
The essence of Dr. Kurpatov’s method is to allow oneself (with the help of the techniques described by the doctor) to step outside the vicious circle of self-doubt and misunderstanding of what is happening.
To get rid of the problem, first of all, you need to stop perceiving it as a problem, stop being afraid, stop treating a visit to the doctor as another “sentence.” Therefore, such autotraining is especially often used when it is necessary to treat dystonia in adolescents. After all, for them, VVD is often a direct consequence of negative psychological states.
Improving cerebral blood circulation to get rid of VVD
Since poor blood circulation in the brain often causes VVD, this problem can be addressed by eliminating the root cause. This remedy can be used only if you are not allergic to honey! To do this, use the following components:
• 25 grams of propolis powder,
• 2 tablespoons of light honey,
• 1 tablespoon of cream butter.
Thoroughly mix all the components into a homogeneous mass. Rub the ointment before bedtime on the skin of the head and the skin of the legs on the calves. Usually, the duration of the treatment course is up to 2 weeks.
Folk remedy against VVD using herbs
This remedy also contains honey, so use it only if you are not allergic! To prepare, use 100 grams each of the following plant components:
• birch buds,
• pharmacy chamomile,
• St. John’s Wort,
• valerian root,
• rose hips.
In addition, prepare brine – 2 cups – and light honey. Grind and mix all the herbs in a dry form. Then pour the mixture into an enamel container, pour brine over it, bring to a boil, and simmer for one minute. Then let it cool slightly and strain the decoction. If necessary, add water to make it one and a half cups. Add 1 tablespoon of honey and mix.
Store the decoction in a glass container in the refrigerator. Take half a cup in the morning before breakfast and after the evening meal before bedtime, about one and a half hours after dinner. This effective remedy yields noticeable results after the first month of consistent use.
Remedy for VVD for sleep disturbances and palpitations
Among all folk remedies for treating VVD, this is one of the most effective. But be careful with its use – consult a doctor about contraindications. To prepare, use:
• valerian tincture,
• Corvalol (a mild sedative),
• hawthorn tincture,
• motherwort tincture.
Mix all the components in equal parts and take, dripping 15 drops into half a glass of clean water. Drink this water twice a day: in the morning before breakfast and before bedtime. A course of up to 12 days will be effective.
Strengthening remedy for VVD with a loss of strength
Such a remedy can be recommended for the treatment of VVD in pregnant women. After all, pregnancy often accompanies a decrease in activity and loss of tone. By using a general tonic remedy, you can easily eliminate the root cause, and then the dystonia itself.
You will need:
• 1 cup of oatmeal,
• 1 liter of water,
• steamed milk (but you can use regular milk),
• 5 tablespoons of light honey.
And don’t forget that you should not be allergic to honey! Boil the oats in water until thick. Then strain, add milk in a 1:1 ratio, add honey, and mix well.
Store this mixture in the refrigerator. The shelf life of the remedy is very short – only two days. Take half a cup three or four times a day at any time. Visible results will appear already in the second month of treatment.
General folk recommendations for VVD treatment
In addition to treating VVD with homeopathy and using the described folk recipes, some simple methods that significantly improve the body’s condition are also suitable. Among them are:
• contrast shower,
• massages,
• physical exercises.
Of course, you should not use techniques that are contraindicated for you! To avoid harming the body, remember to consult a doctor and avoid self-medication.
Conclusion
As you can easily see, treating VVD with folk remedies does not require anything special except for some components, self-confidence, and keeping the body in good shape. Moreover, it is important to accurately diagnose the cause of dystonia during a visit to a therapist and other designated doctors.
