Natural Herbs for Heart Health
Nature provides us with herbs such as hawthorn, capsicum, garlic and rosemary to maintain a healthy heart. These herbs combat heart disease and supply the body with vitamins. Each herb performs a specific function for heart health.
-
Hawthorn
-
Hawthorn strengthens the heart muscle and helps prevent blood clots.
Capsicum
-
Capsicum, or cayenne, works by increasing the heart action but not the blood pressure. It also acts as a catalyst for other herbs, boosting their power. Taking capsicum with garlic, for example, intensifies the blood-pressure-lowering effects of that herb.
-
Garlic
-
Garlic dissolves cholesterol in the bloodstream, opens up the blood vessels to reduce heart palpitations and lowers blood pressure
Rosemary
-
Rosemary is a strong stimulant of the circulatory and nervous system, and lowers high blood pressure. It can be taken as a supplement or made into a tea.
Considerations
-
Because some herbs lower blood pressure, do not take all of the recommended herbs at once. Make sure you monitor your blood pressure daily.
