Traditional Iranian medicine, which utilizes a wide range of medicinal herbs, offers natural approaches for the prevention and alleviation of vascular blockage symptoms. This study aims to identify and review the medicinal plants employed in Traditional Iranian medicine for the prevention and treatment of vascular blockage.
Methods: This study involved a comprehensive review of sources within Traditional Iranian medicine as well as relevant scientific literature to identify medicinal herbs that are effective in the prevention and treatment of vascular blockage. Data were collected from reputable Traditional medicine texts and scientific databases, then categorized and analyzed according to their applications and mechanisms of action. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the information.
Results: A variety of medicinal herbs, including Allium sativum L., Citrus limon (L.) Osbeck, Zingiber officinale Roscoe, Curcuma longa L., Capsicum annuum L., Borago officinalis L., Spinacia oleracea L., Cinnamomum verum J. Presl, Camellia sinensis (L.)

Conclusion: A wide range of medicinal plants has been used in Traditional Iranian medicine to prevent and alleviate vascular blockage, and their effects on improving circulation and cardiovascular health are well-documented. These herbs may represent a natural and low-risk approach for the prevention and treatment of vascular blockage. Further scientific research into the clinical effects of these herbs could support their integration into modern medical practice.
