My problem with stroke

Published by

i am a 70-year-old pensioner who just had a stroke consequent on high Blood Pressure. I am home from the hospital with some weakness in my arms and legs. My doctor wants me to continue physiotherapy but my family thinks taking some local herbs would be better due to the high cost of physiotherapy. Kindly advise me.

Since I am not conversant with the use of herbs for the treatment of stroke, I will advise that you continue with the Physiotherapy exercises. Even though it may appear expensive, the long term benefit is enormous. In addition, you can always continue the Physiotherapy exercises by yourself once you get better.
