Natural Remedies for Stroke
Stroke is a medical emergency which requires prompt and aggressive mainline treatment with positive followup and after care. The natural cures and remedies suggested will help with this rehabilitation and a positive mental attitude towards the problem.
What is Stroke?
Stroke Causes
Stroke occurs when the supply of blood to the brain is disrupted and the part of the brain that it feeds is damaged, sometimes irreparably.
Stroke Symptoms
Early Stroke symptoms can include sudden weakness or paralysis affecting one side of the body, visual disturbances including loss of vision on one side or blurring of vision, speech problems, dizziness, swallowing problems and headache. If untreated the condition may become permanent. Stroke is often a consequence of high blood pressure
The early symptoms may remain but for most patients there should be some improvement. However many stroke patients have Mobility Problems
Stroke Types
Stroke occurs in 3 forms, Embolic Stroke, Haemorrhagic Stroke and Transient Ischaemic Attack.
Embolic Stroke (Brain Clot)
Embolic ischaemic stroke (brain clot) occurs if there is a blockage of an artery in the brain by a clot (embolism). This is usually a blood clot, but may be fat globules in the case of a long limb fracture.
Haemorrhagic Stroke (Brain Bleed)
Haemorrhagic stroke (brain bleed) if there is a bleed from a weakened or malformed artery (this a common cause of subarachnoid haemorrhage). The weakness or malformation ruptures due to a spike of high blood pressure.
Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA)
Transient ischaemic attack (TIA) is due to a temporary disruption due to spasm or some other problem of the artery which resolves restoring the blood supply and relieving the symptoms.

What Helps Stroke?
Stroke Treatment
Medication
The treatment depends on the cause and thus on accurate diagnosis. Drugs like Warfarin and Aspirin that are used for ischaemic strokes (brain clots) thin the blood and reduce clotting and are thus dangerous in haemorrhagic stroke (brain bleed) where bleeding has been the problem. Most treatment is supportive. Modern surgical interventions are becoming increasingly helpful.
