Stroke (Brain Attack) Part IX - How to Prevent and Treat Stroke With Chinese Acupuncture and Herbs

As we mentioned in previous articles, stroke is caused by uncontrolled diet that is high in saturated and trans fats resulting in cholesterol building up in the blood vessel in the brain that blocks the circulation of blood to the body, including cells in the brain. If not enough oxygen is delivered to the brain cells, some cells die off and can not reproduce, the you may have a stroke. Other strokes happen when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures causing the cells in your brain to be deprived of oxygen, thus they die and never come back. In this article, we will discuss Chinese herbs and acupuncture that help to prevent stroke.
