Herbal Remedies To Strengthen Your Heart
There are safe herbs for the heart and its related conditions as well
as those herbs that should be avoided due to potential interactions
with prescription medications. One of the
benefits of cayenne, for
instance, is that it may actually stop a heart attack in progress.
Other herbs can lower blood pressure and increase the strength of
the heart muscle. As with all supplements, you should discuss the
use of any herbs for heart conditions with your cardiologist before
you begin to use the supplement.
Top Four Herbs for the Heart
The top four herbs for heart maladies are cayenne, garlic, hawthorne,
and motherwort. These treatments have been widely used in Europe and
in the Orient for many years to the point that hawthorne is routinely
prescribed by physicians in Europe as a heart medication. As more
is learned about the curative properties of these herbs, they are
gaining in popularity in the United States as well.
CAYENNE
In some instances cayenne herb has been to know to stop heart attacks
within thirty seconds. Given this property, many heart patients keep
cayenne extract on hand for emergencies. During a heart crisis a teaspoon
should be administered every fifteen minutes.
Many herbalists recommend the daily use of cayenne and hawthorne together
for cardiovascular problems. Cayenne is also available as a tea and
in capsule form. With heart conditions curing with cayenne per se
may not be possible but maintaining and staving off actual heart attacks
does seem to be a reality.
Considered by many to be one of the “kings” of herbal
healing, the use of cayenne in a health care regimen will not only
protect the circulatory and digestive system but will also increase
the effectiveness of other herbs being used. Beyond the medicinal
benefits, cayenne is rich in vitamins A, B, and C as well as potassium
and calcium.
GARLIC
Perhaps the most-researched of the herbs recommended as beneficial
to the cardiovascular system, garlic will lower fatty deposits in
arteries by as much as fifty percent. It further inhibits the formation
of blood clots and will help to lower blood pressure.
Garlic should be used daily for these benefits to be present and can
be consumed in raw, cooked, or supplemental form. Because body odor
may results from regular use of garlic, specially formulated supplements
are available that will not produce this side effect.
HAWTHORNE
Hawthorne has been used with heart ailments since the 17th century
and is one of the best herbs for heart disease. Hawthorne increases
blood flow to the heart and strengthens the pumping action of the
heart muscle. It works against arrhythmia and makes the heart more
immune to instances of oxygen deficiency during times of stress or
excitement.
For those with a family history of cardiovascular problems, this herb
is a good preventative supplement. Taken as a tincture or tablet,
hawthorne can be used daily and long term with no side effects or
drug interactions.
MOTHERWORT
Another of the best herbs for the heart, motherwort works to calm
the nervous system and has a mild sedative effect. It will help still
heart palpitations, address mild irregularities, lower blood pressure,
and strengthen the heart muscle.
Motherwort is taken as a tonic or infusion, usually two teaspoons
per cup of water, morning and evening. It may take several months
for the benefits of motherwort to become apparent.
