Don`t be one of the millions that suffer the severe pain of an angina attack every year. Learn more ways to combat this condition with natural cures and remedies. Few things are as frightening as having severe streaks of pain in your chest and arms. As you screech with pain, your life flashes before you. You are certain it is a massive heart attack. You fight to get to a phone to call for help. As you wait for the emergency vehicle to arrive you wonder what your family will do without you. After arriving at the emergency room you are relieved to learn that what you had was an angina attack rather than the heart attack you were sure you were having.
While speaking with your physician, be sure to ask him if the following natural remedies might be right for you.
Quit smoking. Angina is brought on by having too little oxygen in the blood. As hard as quitting smoking is tens of thousands manage to do it every year. You can too.
Relaxation techniques. Take time in the evening to practice meditation or relax with some soft music or even a bath with lavender essential oil.
Stress is a killer. It has many causes and can even be brought on when we don`t get enough sleep. Studies suggest that most people need from 6 - 9 hours of sleep every night. If you get less even one night it may be days before your body is right again.
Herbal remedies can be powerful. The bark of the Arjuna tree has been used for over 3000 years for heart conditions and now studies confirm it`s usefulness for angina and other related conditions. This is a potent herb and should be used under the instructions of a professional. A strong tea using this bark is often recommended by herbalist for poor circulation of oxygen rich blood to the heart.
A vitamin and mineral regimen might be useful. 3000 milligrams of vitamin C, 1500 milligrams of lysine and 500 milligrams of magnesium are some of the recommended supplements. These are medical grade doses however, and should only be taken under a doctors or health care professional`s supervision.
Always remember that just because it is natural doesn`t mean it can`t do harm if abused or taken incorrectly. It is the authors opinion that natural medicine is better for the body then chemicals and recommended when possible. Still you need to exercise proper caution. Angina is a serious condition and the natural remedies listed here are equally serious. Use good judgement and common sense when taking.
