To certain extent
Acupuncture with massage and herbs can help unblock your arteries. I also suggest you avoid cold foods and drinks.
I am assuming that you are under the care of a medical doctor and following her/his advice. If this is the case, I believe that acupuncture can help with circulation, blood vessels, and maintaining a healthy heart.
I encourage you to book a session with your practitioner of choice to get help with relief.
NO
Hello.Thank you for your question. Yes, Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine is effective and has natural treatment for blocked arteries and alleviate atherosclerosis. You can find more information and successful cases online. There is a link maybe you are interested in.

I have no idea. But we do practice nutritional counseling and herbal medicine which might help clean arteries... but a blocked one? You should see a doctor.
Yes acupuncture can improve the circulation of blood.
It may help, but more important is to undergo a holistic evaluation and pinpoint the cause of the blockage.

In some cases, homeopathic remedies may appear more effective than acupuncture.
Yes. Acupuncture can help treat and prevent blocked arteries but one should also be sure they are working closely with a cardiologist and/or vascular specialist as surgical intervention may be necessary. If you are working with a team of specialists, acupuncture can help support their work and increase the effectiveness of medications.
No, I don't believe acupuncture can help with blocked arteries. Diet and exercise are the keys to natural ways of preventing and correcting them. Vitamin C can also help reduce damage to the blood vessels, thus preventing the build up of plaque along the vessel walls.
Yes
Yes, acupuncture can help with blocked arteries !
ACUPUNCTURE CAN DO MANY THINGS BUT HELPING TO CLEAR BLOCKED ARTERIES IS NOT THE ROUTE I WOULD TAKE. DIET, EXERCISE, WT LOSS WOULD BE A BETTER START.
There are some studies showing acupuncture can help with coronary artery disease and improve oxygenation of the heart muscle. So, as an adjunct to conventional pharmaceutical treatment, yes, acupuncture would probably help. I wouldn't try using acupuncture as a replacement or stand-alone treatment though.

This is one of those situations where it's fairly important to see a nationally board certified, state licensed acupuncturist versus a chiropractor or physical therapist. You need a provider with either a Dipl Ac or a Dipl OM national credential and an L.Ac. or R.Ac. state credential. Without those things, you could be dealing with a provider that has 100 hours or less of training in acupuncture and no training in the Chinese diagnostic methods under which acupuncture functions.

To find providers like this in your area you can use NCCAOM.org's 'Find a Practitioner' lookup.
