Angina Pain/ Heart Support

Angina, which is pain and breathlessness with exertion, is the most common symptom of age related deterioration (and also of course of coronary artery blockage). I have a very safe and reliable herbal treatment which works directly to tune up an under functioning heart and I have used it successfully with my human patients for 20 years. Mostly these patients report an immediate improvement in angina pain and their ability to exercise.

Herbs : The mixture consists of the extract of a particular Cactus in combination with an extract of fresh Hawthorn leaves.

Cardio Myopathy Support

Cardio Myopathy is an illness where the heart itself slowly weakens and dies and it is more common in young people and children than in adults.

Herbs : I provide a physical herbal tonic consisting of; Cactus, Hawthorne, Comfrey, Mugwort and Saw Palmetto along with the Bach Flower remedies Walnut and Water Violet to assist.

Heart Attack (First Aid Treatment)

A heart attack is really a muscular spasm in the heart muscle itself, much like a cramp in the calf muscle, which is due to a combination of insufficient oxygen being supplied to the heart muscle and a sudden increase in the muscular tension in surrounding tissue as above. This spasm produces a huge shock to the nervous system as well as the body knows how critical it is to restore normal heart function as soon as possible.

Herbs : The mixture I prepare for those who suffer a heart attack and which I encourage them to carry with them at all times, is made up of concentrate herbal extracts of Hawthorne, Cactus and Rosehips with the Bach Flower Rescue Remedy.

Heart Disease Recovery & Support

Folk with heart disease of any type will feel an immediate relief in terms of breathlessness, angina and vitality brought about simply by providing these health tonics to the heart and its support systems. If these people go on to change long terms habits that have contributed to their illness, they can look forward to making these improvement in vitality permanent.

Herbs : These include Cactus, Hawthorne, Parsley, Nettle, Garlic and Equisetum and the Bach Flower remedies Oak and Rescue Remedy.

Heart Repair Tonic

For a patient with a history of heart attack or heart disease or a condition which places an enormous strain on the heart like valve problems, prolonged high blood pressure or emphysema for example it is important to provide the heart with a tonic which will assist in repairing the organ as much as possible and provide it extra support so it may continue to support life.

  • Do Herbal Remedies Really Work?

    Of All the Issues Swirling Around the Growing Interest in Herbal Remedies, One Question Surfaces Again and Again: Do Herbal Remedies Really Work?

    Unfortunately neither "Yes" nor "No" are satisfactory answers. Few issues can be seen in terms of black or white; this is especially true in the case of herbal remedies.

  • The Doctor’s Medicinal Garden

    Many of the trees and plants in the garden, surrounding the restored Doctor’s home, served as a "natural pharmacy" from which the nineteenth century doctor could prepare remedies and cures for the villagers. This authentic garden was developed and maintained by the Southern Ontario Unit of the Herb Society of America. The following perennial herbs are typical of those commonly used to stock a storehouse of remedies.

    Comfrey
    Symphytum officinale

    Old time remedy herb used for compresses applied to injuries.

    Elecampane

  • Rheumatic Fever - A rare but potentially life-threatening disease

    A rare but potentially life-threatening disease, rheumatic fever is a complication of untreated strep throat, caused by streptococcus A bacteria. The main symptoms-fever, muscle aches, swollen and painful joints, and in some cases, a red latticelike rash-typically begin one to six weeks after a bout of strep, although in some cases the infection may have been too mild to have been recognized. Rheumatic fever can also cause a temporary nervous system disorder once known as St. Vitus's dance. Today it is called chorea.

  • Otherside of Midnight

    According to studies by sleep researchers across the world, sleep deprivation is detrimental to health.

    • Sleep rests and refreshes the brain while its deprivation impairs the mind and dulls the nervous system resulting in neurocognitive disorders. Going sleepless for over a day can affect performance to the same extent as blood alcohol level above the legal limit.
    • Sleeplessness disturbs the body's biological rhythms, leaving a person with only 80 per cent of functioning capability.
  • The Great Giveaway: The Power of Secret Herbs

    Good ideas are worth money. So why are hard headed operators giving them away for free? Read on and learn how the herbs in this secret cola recipe symbolize a growing resistance to corporate power.

    IF YOU'VE BEEN to a computer show in recent months you might have seen it: a shiny silver drinks can with a ring-pull logo and the words "opencola" on the side. Inside is a fizzy drink that tastes very much like Coca-Cola. Or is it Pepsi?

  • Herbal Hydrotherapy

    Care for your skin should not be limited just to cleaning the makeup off your face and a quick shower in the morning. Your skin is a powerful and vital organ - your second lung. Through the skin a large amount of waste material is eliminated from your body 24 hours of every day. Produced by your body's normal function, the metabolic waste is carried by the circulatory system to the capillaries of the skin, and there it passes out through the pores.

  • Use Nourishing, Tonifying, Stimulating, And Potentially Poisonous Herbs Wisely

    Herbs comprise a group of several thousand plants with widely varying actions. Some are nourishers, some tonifiers, some stimulants and sedatives, and some are potential poisons. To use them wisely and well, we need to understand each category, its uses, best manner of preparation, and usual dosage range.
