Strokes and their Consequences
Stroke – is an acute impairment of cerebral blood flow and is a severe form of vascular disorders with high death rates and disability. Stroke is the third leading cause of death worldwide and accounts for 50%, of which only 20% of patients after a stroke are back to work, 60% - are in need of constant care (it's more than 500 000 people).
The incidence of stroke increases continuously.

The brain stroke is developing in two types:

1) hemorrhagic - developing the type of vessel rupture and as a consequence - a brain hemorrhage and intracerebral hematoma formation;
2) ischemic type - as a result of blockage of the artery by clot blood; clot blockage of the vessel transferred from another organ or spasm of the arteries.

The most common causes of established stroke are:

- Cerebral arteriosclerosis.
- Hypertonic disease.
- Transferred myocardial infarction and the presence of the atrial fibrillation.
- Decompressed diabetes.
- Congenital deficiency of the vascular system (such as malformation of the aneurysm type).

Warning signs of the stroke beginning are:

1) sudden, temporary weakness of the face, upper or lower extremities;
2) difficulty or loss of speech, and difficulty of understanding speech;
3) a sudden loss or impairment of vision, particularly on one eye;
4) unexplained headache or changes in the usual course of your headache;
5) temporary dizziness, loss of balance and uncertainty in walking;
6) violation of cognitive or professional skills;
7) pelvic disorders such as urinary incontinence or urinary retention.

When these symptoms arise you should as soon as possible seek the medical attention. For those with stroke rehabilitation it is especially important management (recovery) period.
 
Treatment

An Academic, doctor of folk medicine, G.S. Avakyan, for over 16 years has been successfully engaged in the problem of rehabilitation of such a patients, reducing the risk of the recurrent stroke and their complications.
Statistics
In the neurological clinic of the academic Avakyan, during the 1999-2005 y.y. were examined the results of treatment of the 614 patients with stroke (usually ischemic), with various residual effects (bulbar and pseudobulbar syndromes and persistent disorders of mental functions, hemiparesis, impaired walking, etc.). Of them – 328 were men, women – were 286. Disease duration ranged from 1 year to 12 years.

The main complaints when contacting the clinic were:
• limitations of active movements in the left or right limbs - 69% of cases;
• speech difficulties - 68%; temporary loss of vision  - 37%;
• strengthening the headaches - 84%;
• persistent dizziness - 72%;
• disruption function of the walk - 59%.

It should be noted that, depending on the severity and duration of illness, type of stroke, localization of the lesion was noted in patients with predominance of certain complaints and objective neurological symptoms, according to the scheme of staged treatment survived. A full course of combined treatment was 2 years.

Assessment of the treatment outcomes was conducted independently by patients with help of specific questionnaires, and when you visit the clinic - in results of research of the neurological status. The evaluation was conducted in the dynamics (3, 6, 12 and 24 months).
The treatment results were different: for example, after 1 month of treatment with 82% fully recovered muscle strength and active movement in paralyzed limbs, in 53% - much improved vision, 27% ​​- has disappeared dizziness and restored motor coordination and in 69% of cases - have recovered mental function, and in 42% - figures normalized for blood pressure.

Contraindications to receive herbal teas: idiosyncrasy of the medicinal herbs.
The mechanism of action

From the medicinal plants by the phytomicrosphericity method active ingredients were isolated (lecithin, unsaturated fatty acids, amino acids, neurotransmitters, vitamins E, A, B, B2, C, biologically active plant-iodine, trace elements Mg, K, Ca, Cu, Fe) .

The main properties of these biologically active substances are:

1) The vasodilating action - improving the brain and peripheral blood circulation;

2) antioxidant - due to the blockade of free radicals at the cellular level, the normalization of cerebral metabolism, reducing the risk of oxygen starvation of the brain. The result - improves cognitive function, improves the memory, concentration, increases resistance to physical and mental stress;

3) anti-sclerotic effect;
4) regulation of all types of the metabolism (fat, carbohydrate, protein, water and salt);

5) immunocorrecting action aimed at the non-specific protection of the body;

6) elimination of the toxic substances.
