There are many different reasons why circulatory problems can occur and many different disorders which are often placed in this disorder’s category. Blood clots are perhaps the most common reason for circulatory problems. The blood often creates a clot in the larger veins throughout the legs or pelvic area and as this clot travels through the body it can become trapped in the pulmonary artery. When this happens the blood that is pumped throughout the rest of your body will diminish. This is a disorder normally referred to as Pulmonary Embolism. With this type of circulatory problem you will find yourself constantly out of breath and can be life threatening.

Aside from blood clots, fatty or plaque deposits can form on the walls of your arteries, which can cause them to harden. This type of build up can cause high blood pressure or hypertension. This can create a cycle of conditions as hypertension has been found to lead to strokes, kidney damage and even heart attacks. Circulatory problems should be taken seriously because just like anything else if left too long without treatment you may have a number of new conditions to deal with.

A more serious type of circulatory conditions is identified as Raynaud’s disease. This circulatory disease is defined by spasms of the blood vessels in the extremities such as the fingers and toes. This is a rare disease that targets mostly women from the ages of 15-50 years old. What can happen to those suffering from this type of circulatory disease is the skin tissue can die from the lack of oxygen and therefore bring on symptoms of dry gangrene.

Poor circulation can be the result of a number of different health conditions and internal problems, no matter what the cause, the treatment remains the same. If you are looking to stay away from prescription medications as much as possible, there are numerous natural supplements that are just as effective, without the dangerous side effects.

• L-Carnitine is one of the most essential of all the natural supplements because it helps to strengthen your heart and promote circulation by transporting the fatty acids that could be the cause of the blood flow blockage.
  
  
• Chlorophyll is another supplement, which helps enhance circulation and build healthy cells throughout the body. This can be taken in tablet or liquid form, whichever you prefer and should be taken only as directed to receive the best results.
  
  
• Coenzyme Q10 works to improve oxygenation of the tissues. The brand I use and trust is QH absorb by Jarrow Formulas.
  
  
• Liquid Kyolic is yet another solution to help build red blood cells and lower your blood pressure.
  
  
• A high-potency Multivitamin and mineral complex are recommended for good circulatory function because they provide a balance of nutrients.
  
  
• Ginkgo Biloba, which is the herb with a funny name as I like to call it is beneficial for the circulatory system. Hawthorn berries are also a good choice.
  
  
• A diet high in fiber is good for the circulatory system. Cholesterol levels can be lowered with the consumption of oat bran.
  
  
• Let's not forget good regular exercise, which is also recommended to keep the arteries soft, unclogged and help blood flow.

These are only a few supplements and remedies to help circulatory problems, there are plenty more to choose from but to make sure you are using the right remedy, always consult your physician or naturopathic professional of choice.
