Alternative Medicines, Are They The Possible Cure For Heart Disease?

Okay it may sound far fetched but many holistic “gurus” swear that their products can help reduce the risks of heart disease and act as a medication against heart conditions.

Many people are starting to buy into the holistic philosophy, why not some may cry; after all holistic has been around for centuries before modern medicine came along. A lot of these therapies are new in origin even if holistic is old in age.

Below is a list of holistic therapies and medications that reportedly help beat the ravages of heart disease.

Garlic - Blend one gram of garlic into a fine paste and mix with buttermilk, drink this mixture twice a day and it is said to reduce your blood pressure.

Fenugreek Seeds - Take one tablespoon of Fenugreek seeds and soak them in water over night, in the morning eat the fenugreek seeds on an empty stomach. This medication is said to reduce cholesterol and excess fat.

Jaharmorha - Jaharmorha is a stone that is greenish in color and is found deep in the mountains of the Himalayas. If you take this stone and grind it into a powder, mix it with rose water and rink regularly it is said to help combat the effects of heart disease.

Cactus - Said to be the most important remedy for heart disease as it is said to soothe palpitations, cactus controls inflammation and it is believed strengthens the heart muscle.

Hawthorn - It is believed that in long term doses the berries and leaves of the hawthorn help to nourish and protect the heart. It does this by dilating the arteries to improve blood flow, it steadies the heartbeat to relax the heart and it has sedative qualities, which can relieve tension and reduce high blood pressure.

Ignatia - Ignatia is made from the seeds of the Ignatia amara, it is mostly used for emotional issues but also has a place as a remedy for heart disease. The reason why Ignatia is believed to work for people with heart disease is because it calms the body so the heart relaxes giving it a chance to rest from the strain it was under.

Cranberries - Studies have said to report that cranberries reduce the risk of heart disease. It is said that cranberries carry good cholesterol, which helps restore the health of blood vessels as well as having a rich source of antioxidants for the health of the body as a whole.

One word of warning that does have to be mentioned with holistic medicine is that it has not been proved to work by science, this is why many medical professionals do not believe it works. Also because many people see holistic therapies as “trendy” due to the Hollywood vibe it has been given by the numerous stars that have openly admitted to the therapies working for them, a lot of holistic frauds have surfaced to take advantage and run away with peoples hard earned cash.

Always check with a doctor before starting to take any holistic medicines as they may cause more damage than good.
