It is important to understand that vegetovascular dystonia is not a disease. This is a sufficiently large and diverse set of symptoms that can affect different systems and organs. Than earlier to reflect on how to treat VSD, the easier it will be to eliminate all manifestations of this problem. Especially therapy is not so difficult.
Which doctor heals VSD?
For regulation of the nervous system, there are two other systems - sympathetic and parasympathetic. The latter controls such processes as sleep, rest, full recovery of forces. A sympathetic vice versa is responsible for the body's loads - both mental and physical, - wakefulness, heart rate. The systems operate in turn. And if the connection between them is broken, vegetative vascular dystonia begins.
The cause of the disorder can be:
- physical overstrain;
- stress;
- diabetes;
- hypothyroidism;
- hormonal disbalance;
- allergy;
- genetic predisposition;
- abuse of nicotine or alcohol;
- a sudden exit from the comfort zone.
Since the syndrome primarily affects the nervous system, and only then can "move" to other organs, it is necessary to apply for treatment first to a neurologist.
How to cure VSD once and for all?
There are three main types of dystonia:
- The hypertonic type is set when the sympathetic system is more active.
- If more work is necessary for the parasympathetic system, the VSD is diagnosed by the hypotonic type.
- In the same cases, when two systems "compete" and show activity in turn, a mixed form is put.
Accordingly, before you start to somehow treat the VSD, you need to determine what it is - hypertonic, hypotonic or mixed type. Although some measures can be taken and regardless of the form of the syndrome:
- Try adjusting your daily routine. Allocate enough time for sleep. Do so. That in the bedroom you feel as comfortable as possible, and the bed was comfortable.
- It is very important to distribute physical and mental loads. It is not difficult to do this, and the body as a result will have the opportunity to fully relax.
- Refuse bad habits.
- If possible, allocate time for sports. People with vegeto-vascular dystonia can not be better suited to such sports as swimming, skiing, hiking, water aerobics. Of course, regular classes on cardio machines or regular outdoor walks will also be useful.
- Another tip on how to cure the VSD independently at home is to adjust the diet. In case of the syndrome, more salts of potassium and magnesium must enter the body. They contain in dried apricots, porridges, beans, peas, aubergines, apricots, nuts, parsley, dogrose. With VSD on hypotonic type it is desirable to drink more milk and kefir. Patients with hypertensive form of VSD are shown spinach, lettuce, carrots. And with a mixed type, it is recommended to lean on citrus fruits and not to abuse spices.
Physiotherapeutic procedures are considered to be extremely useful:
- reflexology;

- hydromassage;
- contrast baths.
