According to Chistyakova, atherosclerosis, which many people try to “cure” with folk remedies, is usually asymptomatic. The expert urged against self-diagnosis and recommended that people over the age of 40 monitor their lipid profiles regularly.
He also recommended performing ultrasound dopplerography of the vessels of the neck and head, not forgetting the annual visit to the cardiologist.
Returning to the harms of folk remedies, the doctor noted that although a clover-based drink can lower cholesterol levels, it contains powerful phytoestrogens that can harm men and are contraindicated in certain diseases.
Ginger tea for cleansing blood vessels contains ginger, which stabilizes the membranes of liver cells, but the use of ginger is contraindicated in diseases of this organ.
Chistyakova emphasized that self-treatment can lead to unpredictable consequences. In this context, he reminded the importance of communicating with qualified medical professionals.
