DESCRIPTION
There are many disorders associated with circulatory problems, which exist when oxygenated blood cannot make the complete circuit of the body without restriction. There are many reasons why blood flow around the body may be inhibited.
Clots may form in the larger veins in the leg or pelvic area, travel to the lung, and become trapped in a pulmonary artery. This results in diminished blood flow and less oxygen getting pumped to the rest of the body. Pulmonary embolism, as this condition is called, is difficult to detect, but is usually accompanied by a sudden shortness of breath and can be life-threatening.
When plaque or fatty deposits form along the walls of the arteries, it causes them to harden and constrict. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, results because the blood exerts greater force against the walls of the narrowed and/or more rigid blood vessels. Hypertension can lead to stroke, angina pectoris (chest pain), kidney damage, and heart attack.
A circulatory disease that is brought on by chronic inflammation of the blood vessels in the extremities is thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger's disease). This disease is most prevalent among people who smoke. It usually affects the foot or lower leg, but it can occur in the hand, arm, or thigh as well. Early signs of Buerger's disease are a tingling sensation (commonly referred to as "pins and needles" and a burning sensation in the fingers and toes. It can lead to ulceration and gangrene; in severe cases, amputation may be required.
Another serious circulatory condition is Raynaud's disease, which is characterized by constriction and spasm of the blood vessels in the extremities, such as in the fingers, toes, and tip of the nose. Cold, stress, smoking, and other factors may cause fingers and toes to become numb; extremities may appear colorless or bluish due to lack of circulation and arterial spasm. This disease most commonly affects women between 15 and 50, and, although rare, it can lead to dry gangrene if tissue dies because of a lack of oxygen. Raynaud's Phenomenon is a condition with the same symptoms as Raynaud's disease, but it is brought on by another condition, such as surgery, injury, or frostbite. Raynaud's may be provoked or aggravated by some heart medications and drugs taken for migraine, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Marfan's syndrome, a very rare condition, can also lead to serious circulatory problems. This syndrome is characterized by defects of the connective tissue in areas such as the skeletal system, eyes, and blood vessels, as well as such anatomical anomalies as unusually long toes and/or fingers, a high palate, and enlarged aorta, and/or taller than average height. This condition is hereditary.
Poor circulation can also result from varicose veins, which develop because of a loss of elasticity in the walls of the veins.
Impeded blood flow, from whatever cause, leads to ischemia, or oxygen deprivation and deficiency in the tissues. This, at the local level, results in tissue atrophy. Just 15 seconds of ischemia turns off the mitochondria in the cells (the cellular energy-producing structures) and begins their programmed death spiral. In order to fight this, the blood must be kept from getting too viscous or sluggish, and to prevent platelets from clumping too rapidly. The various nutrients suggested in the Nutrition Table below - such as vitamins B-6, B-12 and folic acid - are not only good antioxidants but also are good anticoagulants.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Make sure that your diet is high in fiber. Oat Bran can help lower cholesterol levels.
Include the following in your diet: bananas, brown rice, endive, garlic, lima beans, onions, pears, peas, and spinach.
Drink steam distilled or quality bottled water only. Avoid drinking unfiltered tap water.
Eliminate animal protein and fatty foods (such as red meat), sugar, and white flour from your diet. Do not use stimulants such as coffee, colas, or tobacco, or eat foods with a lot of spices.
Get regular exercise to help blood flow and to keep the arteries soft and unclogged. Caution: If you are over 35 and/or have been sedentary for some time, consult with your health care provider before beginning any type of exercise program.
Keep your weight down.
To boost circulation, give yourself a dry massage over your entire body using a loofah sponge or natural bath brush. Also dip a towel in cold water and rub it briskly over parts of the body.
If you have circulatory problems, do not take any preparations containing shark cartilage unless specifically directed to do so by your health care provider. Shark cartilage inhibits the formation of new blood vessels, the mechanism by which the body can increase circulatory capacity.
CONSIDERATIONS
Because sluggish circulation can have a variety of different causes, you should see your health care provider if it is persistent.
Blood thinning drugs, such as warfarin (Coumadin), may be prescribed for people deemed to be in particular danger of developing blood clots, such as people who are bedridden or cancer patients. Studies show that, for those in danger of recurring clots, blood=thinning drugs should be taken for at least 2 years.
Chelation therapy is helpful in improving circulation.
The simple fact of being pregnant places a great strain on the circulatory system. Blood volume increases up to 50 percent by the time a women is 9 months pregnant, and although most women with heart disease can safely have children, any such pregnancy should be closely monitored by both a cardiologist and obstetrician and/or midwife.
