Vegetovascular dystonia to get rid of forever at home

Vegetovascular dystonia (VVD) is a complex of symptoms that accompany disorders in the functioning of the central nervous system, heart and blood vessels. Pathology can occur under the influence of negative factors or be the result of a genetic predisposition. Statistics show that children whose mothers suffered from manifestations of VVD during pregnancy experience clinical symptoms of pathology in 63% of cases.

You can cope with vegetovascular dystonia at home, but for this it is important to understand why it occurs, and by what signs it is possible to suspect disorders in the functioning of the nervous system.

One of the main provoking factors in the appearance of symptoms of vegetovascular dystonia is obesity. Excess body weight leads to an increase in the load on all organs. The heart and blood vessels are especially affected, as a result of which the internal organs do not receive enough blood enriched with oxygen.

In overweight people, the tendency to depressive disorders and stress shocks is higher compared to ordinary people, therefore, the treatment of VVD in this group of patients begins with the correction of the diet and the adoption of measures to get rid of excess weight.

Is it possible to get rid of VVD forever at home?

Treatment of symptoms of vegetovascular dystonia is a long-term task that requires maximum responsibility from the patient and strict adherence to recommendations on the regimen and lifestyle. Of great importance is the correction of the labor regime. If the patient eats right, gives up bad habits, but at the same time works until midnight six days a week, one can not think of any recovery.

Important! The optimal working week is 40 working hours (for women, the norm is 36 hours). If the patient works in shifts, it is important that the total number of working hours per week does not exceed the established norms.

The clinical picture of any form of vegetovascular dystonia lends itself well to correction at home, but for this you need to follow the regimen and follow the recommendations of nutrition experts, additional procedures and treatment methods.

Nutrition for VVD

Proper and nutritious nutrition is an obligatory part of complex therapy aimed at eliminating the symptoms of vegetovascular dystonia and improving the body. The patient's diet must necessarily contain foods rich in vitamins and minerals, as well as coarse fiber food components. This is necessary to raise the tone, eliminate the syndrome of constant fatigue, strengthen the immune system. The patient's menu should include the following products:

• chicken and quail eggs (especially quail eggs - they contain several times more magnesium, which is necessary for the healthy functioning of the nervous system);
• vegetables (carrots, eggplants, zucchini, tomatoes, radishes, cucumbers);
• greens (cilantro, dill, basil, parsley, all types of leafy salads);
• all kinds of fruits;
• nuts (cashew, Brazilian, pine);
• meat (veal, rabbit, lamb are especially useful);
• bird (quail, turkey, chicken);
• dairy products;
• berries (raspberries, cherries, sea buckthorn);
• dried fruits (prunes and dried apricots are rich in potassium, necessary for the health of blood vessels and normal heart function);
• fish (salmon, tuna, salmon, cod, hake).

From drinks, preference should be given to natural juices, the intake of vegetable juice in the daily diet should be approximately the same as the volume of fruit juices. Compotes, fruit drinks, decoctions of berries and herbs - all these drinks have a calming, vitaminizing and tonic effect, therefore they should be included in the daily menu for patients with various forms of VVD.

Important! If the patient has hypotension (low blood pressure), good quality natural coffee and strong green tea can be included in the menu. The caffeine contained in these drinks tones the blood vessels and increases their elasticity, which allows you to cope with headaches, weakness and constant drowsiness.

Physical education treatment

Physical activity is an important stage in home therapy for vegetative-vascular disorders. For treatment, water activities or outdoor games are perfect. It is important to choose exactly playing sports, since the goal of treatment is to stabilize the emotional state, and not increase muscle mass.

Outdoor games, dancing, water polo, swimming - these sports will help improve endurance, strengthen the heart muscle, increase blood flow and normalize the patient's psycho-emotional state.

For obese people, doctors recommend starting with water activities, since fluid resistance allows you to apply less force to exercise, while the load on the muscular and cardiac systems in such activities is the same as in other sports. Another great option for patients with VSD is yoga. All exercises there are performed at a slow pace, there is no shock load on the spine and joints, so such exercises are suitable even for people with low physical fitness or chronic diseases.

Important! When choosing the appropriate type of physical activity, you should not give preference to training on the simulator, since the position of the body in which the head is lower than the chest organs can aggravate the course of the pathology and increase the severity of symptoms.

Treatment of VVD according to the Kurpatov method

Vegetative-vascular disorders that have arisen as a result of prolonged depression or neurotic disorder can be successfully corrected with the help of audio training. They can be purchased in stores or downloaded from the Internet. It is recommended to listen to recordings regularly, in the evening, when the body is relaxed. The patient is advised to allocate such a period of time when no one will distract him.

An excellent option would be to combine audio training with a relaxing bath. Preparing it is simple: you need to add a few drops of patchouli, sage or rosewood essential oil to the finished bath (you can use any other aroma that allows you to relax, except for invigorating citrus and coniferous aromas).

Herbal collection for quick treatment of VVD

One of the effective methods of combating the manifestations of vegetative-vascular dystonia is the use of a special herbal collection with the addition of natural honey. This recipe has been used for decades. The first results from its use appear by the end of the first week of treatment. To prepare a natural medicine, you will need (all herbs are taken in equal proportions - 100 g of dry raw materials):

• light natural honey (buckwheat and other dark varieties will not work) - 1 large spoon;
• pharmaceutical camomile;
• birch buds;
• rosehip berries;
• St. John's wort;
• elecampane root.

Plant components must be mixed to obtain a dry mixture, then pour the herbs into a deep saucepan and add 2 cups of boiling water. Put the container on the stove and bring to a boil. After the mixture boils, leave the pan for another 2-3 minutes and remove from the stove.

Strain the broth through cheesecloth or a sieve, add a large spoonful of honey, mix and put in a dark place for 24 hours. The finished medicine should be consumed 50-70 ml 2 times a day - in the morning on an empty stomach and in the evening after the last meal. The duration of treatment is 1 month. If there is no visible improvement during this period, you should contact a neurologist or cardiologist.

Herbal treatment

Treatment with herbs and fruits gives good results, but for safe use it is important to know the type of pathology. This is necessary, as some plants have medicinal properties and can affect blood pressure. Patients with hypertension are advised to use the following medications:

• motherwort;
• valerian;
• hawthorn.

Motherwort is sold in the form of filter bags, but in some pharmacies you can buy lozenges based on boiled condensed milk with the addition of motherwort extract and B vitamins, as well as magnesium, which are necessary for the normal functioning and health of the nervous and cardiovascular systems. Such lozenges can be used instead of confectionery for tea drinking, and if you replace ordinary tea with herbal decoction, the benefits of the event will be double.

Valerian can be purchased as a tincture or dragee. For example, dragee "Evening" contains hops and mint and is great for the treatment of vegetative-vascular disorders. You need to take it according to the enclosed instructions.

Proper mode is the key to health

Dream

Compliance with the recommendations on the regimen is mandatory for any form of dystonia. Doctors give increased importance to healthy sleep. Its duration should not be less than 8 hours. In some publications, you can find data that six hours of sleep is considered normal, but experts have come to the conclusion that a decrease in the duration of night sleep even by 30 minutes leads to a deterioration in well-being, increased nervousness, excitability and other manifestations of vegetative-vascular dystonia.

Before going to bed, it is important to exclude the influence of any provoking factors: turn off the computer and TV an hour before going to bed, dim the lights in the room. It is important to relax in any way possible, for example:

• take a bath or shower;
• listen to quiet calm music (can be replaced with the sounds of nature);
• drink a cup of herbal tea with honey;
• ask relatives for a relaxing foot or back massage.

Bed and underwear should be natural and comfortable in order to experience maximum relaxation during sleep and not be distracted by trifles in the form of hard pellets on the sheet or rubbing pajama straps.

walks

Walks in the fresh air should be daily. An adult can walk in any weather. In a strong wind or snowfall, you can go outside for a short time - at least for 30-40 minutes - and not go far from home, but you must be in the fresh air.

It’s great if during a walk a person does not stand still (or sits on a bench near the house), but moves intensively. Outdoor physical activity has a very beneficial effect on the health of the human body and improves the supply of oxygen to all organs and tissues, which are necessary for people with signs of VVD.

If the patient for some reason cannot actively move, you can walk on foot at a slow pace. In any case, it is better than sitting in one position for 1-2 hours. Even such a walk will improve your mood, warm up your muscles and increase blood flow to vital organs.
