Ayurvedic Treatment of Takayasu arteritis

ABOUT TAKAYASU'S ARTERITIS

Takayasu's arteritis, also called TAK, is a rare form of vasculitis disease---inflammation of your blood vessels, which results in the changes in the blood vessel walls, including thickening, weakening, narrowing or scarring of the wall. These changes can confine blood flow, causing organ and tissue damage. It is also is considered to be an autoimmune disorder-due to which the body attacks their own arteries, it is also said that this disease can be generated by a virus or some other infection-and results to Stenosis (blockages or narrowed arteries) or Aneurysms (abnormal dilation of arteries).

Takayasu's arteritis can lead to blockages or conical arteries (stenosis) or dilated arteries (aneurysms). Other than aorta and pulmonary artery many other important arteries coming through aorta are also affected. This problem can lead to arm or chest pain and high blood pressure and eventually to heart failure or stroke.
