What is Raynauds Disease?

Raynauds disease is a condition of the circulation that affects blood supply to the skin and causes the extremities of the body to lose feeling and become numb. The symptoms of Raynauds are most commonly associated with cold and stress and sufferers of this condition will find their toes and fingers feel very cold or even lose sensation in response to a stressful situation or exposure to cold.

People with Raynauds disease may also notice their skin changing color to pale and then to blue when they are cold or stressed - particularly the fingers. They may feel a prickly numbness when cold or stressed and sometimes a stinging pain with throbbing and redness when they begin to relax or warm up as blood returns to the extremities.

Though not completely understood, Raynauds seems to be caused by an overreaction of blood vessels in the extremities to temperature and stress. In normal physiology, when a persons body is exposed to cold the blood vessels in the extremities become narrowed and slow down blood supply to the fingers and toes.

This is to prevent excessive heat loss from these areas and preserve the bodys core temperature. Similarly, in times of stress the evolutionary flight or fight response is triggered and blood flow to the fingers and toes is reduced as the body tries to conserve blood for the vital organs and muscles. In people with Raynauds these responses are exaggerated - causing troublesome symptoms. The reduced blood flow leaves the extremities looking pale or even blue and cold as no warm blood reaches these areas.

What causes Raynauds?

Some people have Raynauds as a complication of an underlying disorder (Secondary Raynauds) though more commonly this disease appears independently and on its own and is known as Primary Raynauds. In Primary Raynauds the cause of the condition remains unknown.

Conditions that may cause Secondary Raynauds include Scleroderma, a condition that causes hardening of connective tissue, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and other diseases that affect the arteries including atherosclerosis. Smoking, beta blockers, certain Chemotherapy agents and some OTC cold and flu medications can also predispose an individual to Raynauds.

Certain factors may also increase an individuals risk of having Primary Raynauds. Women are generally more commonly affected as are people who live in cold places and those who suffer from chronic stress.

Complications

Complications of Raynauds are fairly rare and the day-to-day discomfort and inconvenience is the most common complaint amongst sufferers of this condition. In severe cases though, blood supply to the fingers and toes could diminish on a long-term basis causing poor healing of sores, development of ulcers and, in the worst cases, gangrene and amputation. It is important to seek medical assistance immediately if you suffer from Raynauds and develop an ulcer or infection on one of any of your fingers or toes.

How is Raynauds usually treated?

Conventional treatment of Raynauds will include treatment of the underlying condition (in Secondary Raynauds) as well as medications to reduce the frequency of attacks and prevent tissue damage. These medications work mostly on the principle of dilating the blood vessels in order to prevent the symptoms of Raynauds. In severe cases surgery on the nerves in the hands and feet may be performed.

What is Circu-Live Formula?

Circu-Live is a 100% safe and effective natural remedy for improving circulation and treating Raynauds Disease.

What are the ingredients of Circu-Live?

Circu-Live contains the following herbal ingredients:

• Ginkgo biloba is an extremely effective herb used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and derived from one of the oldest trees on earth. Its medicinal properties have only been discovered by the West during the last 20 years, where clinical studies have indicated its effectiveness in restoring the functioning of the circulatory system and improving peripheral blood flow to the extremities as well as circulation to the brain. Active ingredients of Ginkgo include flavone glycosides, bioflavins, sitosterol, lactones and anthocyanin. Studies indicate that the beneficial effects of Ginkgo on circulation can help to prevent tissue damage and poor circulation associated with Raynauds disease.
• Zinziber officinalis is more commonly known as Ginger and has a long history of medicinal use in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic (Indian) medicine. Chinese herbalists often recommend this "hot" herb to treat conditions involving difficulties with cold, including the cold fingers caused by Raynauds. Ginger is excellent for improving poor peripheral circulation in Raynaud's disease and chilblains, and as a warming circulatory stimulant. It also has strong anti-inflammatory and pain relieving properties and is used to treat the pain of arthritis and similar complaints. Ginger is an excellent remedy for digestive disturbances including relief of nausea, vomiting, flatulence and indigestion.
• Rosmarinus officinale (Rosemary) dilates and strengthens blood vessels and increases peripheral and cerebral circulation. Rosemary is an invigorating herb, relieving depression and imparting a zest for life often helpful in preventing fatigue and stress. As a combination between a nerve stimulant and circulatory tonic, Rosemary is particularly suited to conditions which cause symptoms of cold due to poor circulation. Rosemary is also known to improve mental functioning and memory, strengthen digestion and improve liver and gallbladder function.
