Heart Support-Herbal Combination Formula #1222

Using herbs and nutrition for heart health can be a gentle, and effective method of preventing problems later. But for those who already have a heart condition, herbs may help as an alternative, along with any therapy your doctor prescribes. The key is to choose wisely, and with purpose, because choosing the wrong herb may not have any contraindication for cold or viral infection, choosing the wrong herb for the cardiovascular system may leave a person without the protection that they counted on. Generally, reducing sodium with hypertension may help, though sodium is not to blame for high blood pressure. Is the aluminum salts, sugar and other agents in table salt, which are unnatural and can cause serious harm to the body. Foods naturally high in sodium (the good kind) are seaweed, including Kelp, Bladderwrack, and Dulse. They can be used dry or in tincture form for full health benefits.

 

Good news though, herbalists agree that Motherwort, an herb included in the formula, is very helpful for soothing the nervous system, as well as the heart.
