The circulatory system of our body carries blood, oxygen and nutrients to each and every part of the body. But in case the circulation is poor, the blood doesn’t reach properly to tissues depriving them of oxygen and nutrients required for normal functioning resulting in certain symptoms. Homeopathy for blood circulation offers a supportive help in these cases to improve blood circulation and give symptomatic relief along with conventional treatment.
Poor circulation commonly occurs in limbs like legs and arms.
Causes
Poor circulation is not a disorder but arises from some of the health issues.
It can arise from various causes. First among them is atherosclerosis. It arises when plaque builds up in the artery arteries causing its hardness and narrowing of lumen. It leads to a decrease in blood flow. It can affect arteries of the heart, brain, legs and arms. Atherosclerosis can lead to peripheral artery disease (a circulatory problem in which blood flow to the limbs is decreased due to narrowing of the arteries).
Second reason is a clot in a blood vessel that can restrict blood flow to the organs. The clot may cause partial or complete blockage of blood flow. Blood clots can form in any of the body areas. If a blood clot forms in arms or legs then then it carries a chance to travel to vital organs like heart (causing heart attack), lungs and can also lead to stroke (death of brain cells from decreased or interrupted blood supply to a part of brain depriving it from getting oxygen and nutrients)
Third cause is diabetes mellitus. High blood sugar levels for a long time can lead to damage of blood vessels and plaque can build up in these vessels.
Next reason is varicose veins (twisted, enlarged and engorged veins). This happens from weakening or damage of the valves of veins. It results in backward blood flow and blood pooling in the vein resulting in stretching and twisting of the veins. Any vein in the body may be affected with it but usually they occur on the back of the legs.
Another cause is being overweight (it compresses blood supply through the whole body. Persons who are obese are at more risk of poor circulation if they remain in standing or sitting position for a prolonged period. It puts them at risk of varicose veins, high blood pressure). Lastly it can arise from raynaud’s disease In this disease there occurs narrowing of the small arteries in the hands and toes. Its symptoms usually occur when the sufferer is in a cold temperature or under excessive stress.
Symptoms
Its main symptoms are numbness, tingling or pin needle sensation in the hands and feet. Next is coldness in the hands and feet.
Another symptom is pain of throbbing or stinging nature in the limbs. Other than this there may occur cramps in the limbs (hands, feet, arms, legs). Skin colour changes may also occur. Due to low amount of arterial blood to body tissues the skin may look pale or blue, or purple
Next swelling and ulcers can occur in the lower limbs. Fatigue is also seen sometimes. Other than this symptoms depend on which part of the body has sluggish blood circulation. For example poor circulation to the brain can impact its functioning resulting in dizziness, memory loss, concentration issues, headache and fatigue. If circulation to heart is poor it may result in chest pain, breathing difficulty, high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat. When circulation to Kidneys is reduced it may result in edema of hand, feet. Women may have irregular menstrual cycles and fertility issues if the blood supply to the female reproductive system is reduced. Men may face complaints of erectile dysfunction (inability to get or maintain an erection for sexual intercourse) in case of poor blood flow to the genitals.

Hello Dr Sharma,
My 18 yo daughter currently suffers from severe chillblains. She has been on nifedipine, various topical steroids and has not been able to find something that helps to alleviate the severe swelling and pain in her fingers. She suffers a lot at Uni and is unable to type and write for long periods of time. She also has very limited sensation of heat in her fingers. She first started getting symptoms of chillblains in 2020 on her toes and this has now moved to her fingers. Being in nifedipine alleviated the bumps and scars for the first year but has since stopped working and only results in feeling lightheaded and faint. I was wondering if you offer online consultations as I really need your help!
Thank you sooo much !

Dr. Sharma,
My father is an 80 year old and is stage 4 COPD and CHF with an EF <20%. I am trying to find something (other than all the pharmaceuticals) to assist him in living out the rest of his days comfortably and with as few issues as possible.
I am going to start him on some mullein, to see if that doesn't help with his breathing issues. He is very SOB just getting from the bed to the bathroom, if not sing his O2.
My brother has undergone his 3 CABG. The first two failed. The second was completely clotted on both end and had t be cleaned out. I need to find a way to increase his circulation and try to keep him from losing either leg due to effects of poor circulation.
Can you offer any suggestions?
