A member asked:
How to increase blood flow to scalp for patient with dysautonomia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reason?: No known way to selectively increase blood flow to the scalp in a person with dysautonomia or any other part of the body for that matter by way of medication or surgical method. The technique of biofeedback may come as close as possible to using conscious efforts to modulate things such as blood flow or blood pressure. But i doubt it could be useful for what you are wanting. Curious to know why?
