More Herbal Remedies For Heart Health
Valerian root is an excellent and powerful herbal heart remedy which helps calm and soothe. It's excellent for use against stress and nerves, and it's great for the circulatory system too. Valerian root will regulate heart palpitations as well. It slows the action of the heart while strengthening it at the same time.
Another herbal remedy for heart health is lobelia. Lobelia can help calm heart palpitations, and will also help clear congestion throughout the body, including in the blood vessels. Lobelia is a very powerful relaxant as well. You can rub it onto the shoulders of someone with insomnia, for instance, to help calm, soothe and relax them. Lobelia can also be taken orally.
Taking large amounts of Lobelia will cause nausea and vomiting,however, and it's sometimes used this way on purpose to clear the stomach. In rare cases, Lobelia will make you very relaxed and sleepy, and this isn't harmful but it can be counteracted by taking it with Cayenne.
Cayenne is better known in its form as hot pepper, but, if you're suffering from certain types of heart disease, this herb can be a life saver. You're probably more familiar with this plant being used in the treatment of arthritis, but it's also an impressive aid in fighting heart disease. In fact, its positive effects on all areas of the circulatory system are legendary.
According to some herbalists it even possesses the incredible power to stop a heart attack that's in progress, simply by putting a heaping teaspoon of the cayenne pepper in a cup of hot water. Drink it and then get moving to the hospital. Individuals have reported that this remedy has worked when their nitroglycerin wouldn't.
Probably the most important aspect of cayenne pepper – also known as capsicum – is that it's a catalyst herb. This means that if you take this herb with others, it speeds both the absorption process and the effectiveness of the other herbs. It literally increases the power of all the other herbs with it.
