Complete blood circulation in the brain is the key to normal regulation of the functioning of internal organs and systems . A person whose brain receives adequate nutrition is characterized by high performance, he is always emotionally stable, and copes well with stressful situations. Such people have a good memory and concentration. With age, blood vessels become clogged with cholesterol deposits and microscopic blood clots. To get rid of these formations and avoid serious consequences, people at risk are prescribed drugs to cleanse the blood vessels of the brain.
Cholesterol deposits lead to the development of a chronic disease - atherosclerosis. This is a vascular pathology in which the walls lose elasticity, become fragile and vulnerable. Over time, they become deformed, their lumen narrows, until the vessel is completely blocked. Therefore, for atherosclerosis and for its prevention, medications are prescribed to prevent clogging of blood vessels.
Drugs that lower blood cholesterol levels
Fibrates – normalize fat metabolism in the body, evacuate excess cholesterol, and prevent the formation of blood clots .
Preparations:
- Bezalip - promotes the physiological process of cholesterol breakdown, accelerates its breakdown process, removes plaques in the blood vessels of the brain. Improves blood flow and prevents the formation of blood clots, reduces blood viscosity. Available in 200 mg tablets. Contraindicated in patients with diseases of the gallbladder and liver, chronic renal failure, and pregnancy.
- Bezamidin or its analogues - lipantil, Vitrum cardio omega-3", Roxera. The drugs reduce the synthesis of “bad” cholesterol and reduce the amount of dense fatty particles in the blood vessels of the brain. The use of these drugs allows you to get rid of 25 to 35% of cholesterol in the body. Contraindications – age under 18 years, renal and liver failure.
- Gemfibrozil is a highly effective drug for reducing the amount of fat in the blood. It is prescribed in severe cases when diet and other drug treatments have failed. Available in tablets. Contraindications: children, pregnant women, gallbladder pathology.
- Fenofibrate - reduces the amount of lipids in the blood, regulates vascular tone. Available in capsules. Side effects - dermatitis, gastrointestinal disorders, muscle weakness. With prolonged use, stagnation of bile is observed.
Statins are drugs that reduce the amount of lipids in the bloodstream of the brain during atherosclerotic changes and cholesterol metabolism disorders. They inhibit an enzyme that promotes the deposition of fatty plaques in blood vessels. Drugs in this group improve the condition of the epithelium of the circulatory system, reduce blood viscosity, and prevent the formation of blood clots and their connection with sclerotic plaques. Such a broad range of effects allows the use of statins to cleanse the vascular system of the brain.
The use of statins reduces mortality rates by 40%. When taking the drugs, blood cholesterol levels are reduced by more than 50%. Statins are the latest generation drugs, which means that side effects and contraindications are kept to a minimum.
Preparations:
- Simvastatin;
- Lovastatin;
- Fluvastatin;
- Pravastatin.
The principle of laser blood purification
If conservative and alternative treatment does not restore health, then laser therapy is recommended. This happens with the help of an optical waveguide, which is inserted into an accessible vein and acts on the blood directly in the vascular bed.
Red light is used with a specific wavelength to which the photoreceptors of blood cells are most sensitive. Biochemical reactions that have a therapeutic result begin to be launched in the body.
Laser cleansing of the circulatory system is the safest method, and the effect lasts for a long time.
It is especially important to use it after a stroke and for osteochondrosis of the cervical spine to relieve cardiovascular spasm, increase oxygen levels, and resolve formed blood clots.
Complete blood circulation in the body is the key to normal regulation of internal organs and systems. With age, blood vessels become clogged with cholesterol deposits and microscopic blood clots. To avoid serious consequences, it is necessary to regularly clean the arteries of the brain.
The algorithm of the procedure consists of carrying out a set of therapeutic and preventive measures, the implementation of which will achieve lasting and noticeable positive changes.
Vasodilatators
Calcium antagonists have a pronounced vasodilating effect. This group of drugs increases the lumen of blood vessels in the brain and lowers blood pressure. In this way, the load on the walls of the bloodstream is reduced. This property is of particular importance for patients suffering from obesity and hypertension. The elasticity of the arteries in such people is impaired, the walls are depleted of cholesterol deposits and are very vulnerable. There is a risk of developing cerebral infarctions, hemorrhages, blood clots and strokes.
Calcium antagonists stop the tone of cerebral vessels, expand the lumen, and improve blood supply. The drugs correct vascular disorders throughout the body.
The most effective medications for cleaning brain vessels are nimodipine and cinnarizine. These are indispensable drugs for severe atherosclerosis.
Nimodipine dilates blood vessels in the brain, relieves spasms of smooth muscles, and counteracts serotonin, which constricts blood vessels. The medicine does not affect systemic blood pressure. Available in tablets. It is prescribed with caution to patients with cerebral edema and hemorrhages, the elderly and people with severe kidney failure.
Cinnarizine has a positive effect on cerebral circulation, reduces blood viscosity, and relieves spasm of blood vessels . Does not affect blood pressure readings. The drug is prescribed to patients whose lumen of blood vessels is sharply narrowed due to atherosclerosis. Available in tablets and capsules. The product is well tolerated by the body. In rare cases, drowsiness, gastrointestinal disorders, and dry mouth occur. Contraindications: pregnancy and lactation.
What you need to lower cholesterol
It makes no sense to influence the problem with a cholesterol-free diet alone. An integrated approach is needed to the problem. In addition to limiting foods containing cholesterol, it is necessary to reconsider your overall diet and lifestyle.
Patients with diabetes should discuss their diet and any changes in it with their doctor.
How to help blood vessels
What to do if blood vessels suffer? You will have to reconsider your habits, and give up some addictions altogether. To clean vessels it is recommended:
- Replace sugar with dark chocolate. 30 - 35 g per day is enough.
- Limit your meat intake to 100 - 150 g. It is better to eat 100 g of lean meat than half a kilo of sausage. Fatty varieties, lard, and smoked foods should be excluded. Preference should be given to white poultry and lean beef.
- Limit the number of egg yolks to 2 per week. Proteins can be eaten in any reasonable quantity.
- Avoid fatty and processed cheeses.
- It is strictly not recommended to consume baked goods.

- Introduce more greens and citrus fruits into your diet.
Citrus fruits are leaders in antioxidant content. There should be fish on the table at least once a week. It is preferable to opt for sea water, which is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids.
It is necessary to limit the consumption of salt and spicy seasonings, which can cause swelling, thereby increasing the load on blood vessels.
You should include fresh vegetables in your diet every day. In the fiber of vegetables entering the body, the synthesis of fibrous fibers occurs, which strengthen the walls of the veins.
Vitamin E (tocopherol) is necessary for vascular health. It is found in legumes, liver, green onions, olive oil and avocados. Tocopherol gives elasticity to blood vessels.
Vitamin C strengthens vascular walls. There is a lot of it in bell peppers, citrus fruits, apples, and herbs.
To clean the blood vessels, you need to completely give up smoking and certain foods: canned food, smoked meats, fast food, animal fats.
Products that help cleanse blood vessels
The products we will discuss can reduce the level of bad cholesterol and cleanse blood vessels. Some of them can remove toxins and waste, and some can strengthen blood vessels and improve their elasticity.
Products that clean blood vessels contain fiber. It removes toxic substances and prevents the formation of atherosclerotic plaques on the walls of the arteries.
These include:
- Whole grains - oats, brown rice, buckwheat. It is useful to include whole grain bread in your diet, which is also rich in dietary fiber. These fibers are able to bind excess cholesterol and remove it from the body.
- Barley contains beta-glucan (a polysaccharide that destroys vascular atheromas), provitamin A and B vitamins. Helps prevent thrombosis.
- Flax seed is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. Used to prevent atherosclerosis.
- Olive oil is an active antioxidant containing omega-9 fatty acids. Reduces blood pressure, prevents the development of diabetes and obesity.
- Legumes – These include beans and beans. High levels of protein, fiber, iron and folic acid play a significant role in the prevention of stroke and heart attack.
- Asparagus is a leader in cleaning blood vessels. It can lower blood pressure and prevent the formation of blood clots. The use of the product is effective even in cases of long-term vascular diseases.
- Broccoli and other types of cabbage are rich in fiber, vitamins C and K, which prevent salt deposits and the destruction of arteries.
- Spinach contains large amounts of folic acid and other important elements. Potassium accumulated in its leaves normalizes blood pressure. Eating one serving of spinach per day reduces the risk of developing arterial disease.
- Turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent. Constant consumption of it will give elasticity to the blood vessels. The spice reduces the level of fatty deposits on artery walls by a quarter.
You should not just include vegetable salads and fruits in your diet, you must take into account which vegetables and fruits cleanse the vessels so that the effect is targeted.
Healthy fruits and vegetables
To combat atherosclerotic deposits, introducing fruits and vegetables into the diet in quantities of at least 400 g per day will help.
It is useful to eat fruits that effectively reduce cholesterol:
- pomegranate is one of the most beneficial foods for the heart and blood vessels. It is better to eat it fresh, but you can also replace it with pomegranate juice. The product is able to thin the blood, lower blood pressure and remove harmful cholesterol from the body;
- apples are rich in pectin and fiber - active substances that fight cholesterol plaques and give elasticity to blood vessels;
- persimmon is a storehouse of fiber and antioxidants. Stimulates blood circulation, improves metabolism. Polyphenols can reduce bad cholesterol levels. Despite the high sugar content, the fruit has a low glycemic index;
- avocado. The fatty acids and vitamins E, B6, C, copper, folic acid and fiber it contains make the fruit indispensable in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Avocado easily frees blood vessels from fatty deposits;
- grapefruit is unique in its composition: a large arsenal of vitamins and important minerals. Perfectly restores the elasticity of arteries;
- cranberry improves metabolic processes, contains citric acid and potassium.
Among vegetables, cabbage (all its types) plays an important role. Useful to use:
- garlic is an excellent remedy for cleaning blood vessels. Plays an important role in the prevention of stroke and heart attack;
- horseradish is the leader in vitamin C content, improves metabolic processes;
- tomatoes - due to lycopene, they thin the blood.
You should not consume grapefruit while taking medications.
Other useful products
To cleanse blood vessels, it is necessary to include in the diet other foods that help remove excess cholesterol, strengthen arterial walls and improve metabolism.
These products include:
- honey and dried fruits are an excellent alternative to confectionery. Honey should be consumed in small quantities - no more than 30 - 35 g per day, and the norm for dried fruits is one handful;
- nuts. To clean and strengthen blood vessels, it is preferable to eat walnuts, almonds and cashews;
- fatty fish (preferably sea fish). Due to the content of omega-3 fatty acids, it occupies a leading place in the prevention of atherosclerosis. In some cases, it is advisable to replace meat in the diet with fish;
- black chocolate. When choosing it, it is important to consider the percentage of cocoa. The optimal option is from 70%. Dark chocolate contains essential oils. The product normalizes the production and activity of platelets, which prevents blockage of the vascular lumen;
- cinnamon reduces blood lipid levels.
Antiplatelet agents
Antiplatelet agents are a group of medications that prevent the formation of blood clots. They thin the blood during the coagulation stage and prevent red blood cells from sticking together. They are prescribed as part of complex therapy as a means for cleaning the blood vessels of the brain.
Main groups of drugs:
- Derivatives of acetylsalicylic acid - reduce blood viscosity and dilate blood vessels (aspirin cardio, acetylsalicylic acid, aspirin 1000, terapin, aspicor).
- PDE (phosphodiesterase) inhibitors - reduce the load on the walls of blood vessels, eliminate blood viscosity (dipyridamole, triflusal).
- ADP receptor blockers or antiplatelet agents are prescribed for the prevention of thrombosis , which is caused by atherosclerotic changes in the vessels of the brain (ticlopidine, clopidogrel).
- Inhibitors of arachidonic acid metabolism - affect the blood clotting system (picotamide, indobufen).
- Glycoprotein receptor blockers - prevent the binding of fibrinogen to the platelet receptor, which leads to antiplatelet effects (tirofiban, lamifiban, abciximab).
Peeling with onions and garlic
The onion needs to be chopped into a puree. Add honey in a 1:1 ratio and mix thoroughly. This remedy is taken in the morning on an empty stomach. The maximum dose is a tablespoon. The product is stored in the refrigerator. The course for cleaning is 3 months. The advantage of the drug is that it has an excellent effect on the human immune system.
The garlic must also be completely chopped. The resulting mass is poured with vegetable oil. The elixir should steep overnight. Before use, the product is diluted with lemon juice in equal quantities. A tablespoon of the drug must be taken before meals.
The course can also last 3 months, since this is also prevention against many diseases.

Any drug cleansing of brain vessels should be carried out while following a special diet that limits the amount of fat consumed and also regulates a person’s intake of omega-3 and omega-6.
Cleansing cerebral vessels with folk remedies
Medicinal herbs are a good alternative to medications for cleansing blood vessels . They are used not only for therapeutic purposes. Folk remedies are the prevention of plaque formation in the vascular system of the brain.
Recipe No. 1. Garlic and lemon
Garlic cleanses the blood of cholesterol well and normalizes blood pressure. Peel 3-5 heads of garlic and chop finely. Grind one lemon along with the peel.
Place the ingredients in a glass container and pour in 2 liters of warm boiled water, let cool. Leave in the refrigerator for 3 days.
Drink 100 g 3 times a day between meals. The course of treatment is 30 days.
Recipe No. 2. Beet juice
Take medium-sized beets, wash and peel. Squeeze out the juice. Take 1/3 cup 3 times a day on an empty stomach. Before each dose, you need to prepare fresh juice, as its healing properties last for 10 minutes . To make the taste of beet juice more pleasant, you can add 1 tsp. honey
Recipe No. 3. Herbal collection
Medicinal herbs also help cleanse the blood vessels in the brain. Recommended herbs and their proportions:
- motherwort – 3;
- dill seeds – 2;
- thyme – 2;
- coltsfoot – 1;
- St. John's wort – 1;
- strawberries – 1;

Preparations and folk remedies for cleaning the blood vessels of the brain can be used only as prescribed by a doctor . Self-administration is fraught with negative consequences for the body - disruption of blood pressure, disruption of the integrity of the vascular wall, hemorrhage in the brain, dysfunction of the liver and kidneys.
Juice Cleanse
The course of cleansing with various juices is very long, but the product also removes toxins, which helps restore the body’s performance.
Drink a glass of pure birch sap three times a day. The drink removes cholesterol and salts not only in the head, but throughout the body.
Apple, orange and pomegranate juices are excellent at dissolving blockages in blood vessels. The acid quickly breaks down cholesterol compounds, which promotes its dissolution and elimination.
It is recommended to dilute beet juice with water. The remedy is potent, and a quick cleansing of the brain vessels at home can end badly. It can also be diluted with carrot juice. This way the drink will be even more saturated with vitamins. You can add a little honey for taste.
