Objective: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) including atherosclerosis is currently the most common cause of death in the world. Atherosclerosis can be treated by a vast variety of modalities: from lifestyle modification to invasive open surgical bypass procedures. Regarding the limitations of conventional medicine, worldwide attention to complementary and alternative medicines has increased because of their holistic approach, lower cost and better public access. In this move towards Integrative Medicine -besides other traditional schools of medicine-Persian Medicine (PM) with its long historical background should be considered as a suitable source for research. Method: In this study we investigated major traditional literature of PM, Avicenna’s “Al-Qanun fi al-Tibb” [The Canon of medicine], to find suitable treatment modalities of atherosclerosis in comparison to conventional methods. Result: In the quest for a concept close to atherosclerosis, “sodde” (meaning obstruction) seems to be equal to atherosclerosis and “Mofattehaat” as opener drugs with different types including “Mohallelaat” (dissolvers) and “Moghatteaat” (cutting agents) have been recommended to remove the obstructing materials. Recent studies indicate that many of the medicinal herbs which were introduced as opener drugs by Avicenna have potential pharmacological effects on managing atherosclerosis. Conclusion: Scientific evidence confirm the efficacy of traditional herbs for elimination of atheroma. Antiobstructive traditional medicines are similar to the conventional atherectomy in targeting atheroma by removing atherosclerotic plaque directly, but they are non-invasive, user-friendly, much cheaper and probably with less side effects.
