Causes and Symptoms of Poor Circulation

Use Circulation Supplements and Home Remedies for Treatment

Circulatory problems are a serious health concern. Diagnose symptoms of poor circulation (pulmonary circulation or systemic circulation) as early as possible and, under medical care, use home remedies and circulation supplements.

Your circulatory system is made up of arteries, veins and capillaries. Blood and lymph fluids flow through the system. The cardiovascular system is comprised of the blood, blood vessels and the heart. The lymphatic system is comprised of the lymph, lymph nodes and lymph vessels.

Both systems are the circulatory system. Your heart pumps blood through your system.

Poor blood circulation can result in high or low blood pressure and can also result in other health issues, such as stroke (serious, mini or mild strokes), high bad or LDL cholesterol (due to build up of plaque in the arteries), heart disease, and other serious problems.

If you have any circulatory system problems, visit your doctor for advice and treatment.

The Difference Between Pulmonary Circulation and Systemic Circulation

Your circulation systems works in several ways: there is pulmonary circulation, where blood is oxygenated by circulating through the lungs; and systemic circulation where oxygenated blood is circulated throughout the rest of the body.

Your digestive system works in tandem with the circulatory system to provide it with the nutrients needed to keep the heart pumping and the blood flowing. It is important to understand what is causing your circulation problems and it is important to be able to correctly identify the symptoms of poor circulation.

What are the Causes and Symptoms of Poor Circulation?

Poor diet and a lack of exercise are a common cause of circulation issues (particularly in the extremities - the hands and feet). Diabetes and thyroid problems also contribute to poor circulation.

Anemia can cause poor quality of blood and oxygen circulation. Smoking, asthma, bronchitis can cause poor oxygenation of the blood. Heart problems (the heart doesn’t pump properly or regularly) can cause systemic and/or pulmonary circulation issues.

Some of the symptoms of poor blood circulation are cold hands and feet; the extremities are often affected first by circulation issues. Pale and/or blue skin are indicators of poor circulation. If you have poor circulation, cuts, scrapes and bruises will take a long time to heal.

How can you improve your blood circulation? Use natural old home remedies and circulation supplements. You need remedies that will help improve your circulation and ensure that the oxygenated blood flows throughout your entire system (including the extremities).

Natural Old Home Remedies

• Ginkgo Biloba, Rosemary and Ginger have been recognized as a treatment to improve circulation and blood flow against damage caused from free radicals. If you're taking medication for circulation problems, please check with your doctor before taking any natural supplement. There may be side effects, so take this pill only under a doctor's care.
• Garlic is also recognized as useful in improving circulation, primarily because it can help to improve cholesterol levels. Garlic can be taken in raw, cooked and/or pill form. Regular daily doses have the best result.
• Drink lots of water. Exercise regularly. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables and balance your intake of proteins (not too much red meat).
• If anemia is a cause of circulatory system problems, then take an iron supplement or make sure you eat healthy iron-rich foods, such as nuts, dark greens (spinach, kale, beet greens), dried apricots and peaches, and more. Raw iron sources are better than cooked.
• Follow a healthy heart diet - it will improve your circulation. Build your own healthy heart menu plan to be specific to your lifestyle and taste.
