How Do Cardiovascular Herbals Work?

Cardiovascular herbals are natural supplements beneficial for protecting the heart and keeping it healthy.

Cardiovascular herbals prevent cardiovascular disorders by:

• Inhibiting the formation of platelets and their aggregation to prevent the risk of blood clots
• Lowering the cholesterol level
• Reducing inflammation that leads to heart attack and stroke
• Dilating the blood vessels to reduce hypertension

Cardiovascular herbals are herbal supplements that may be effective in various conditions related to the heart and blood vessels, including:

• Heart disease
• Hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol in the blood)
• Arrhythmias (irregular heart rate)
• Weak heart
• Stroke
• Atherosclerosis (deposition of fatty materials on the inner walls of arteries)
• Heart failure

Although most cardiovascular herbals are safe, some of them may occasionally cause the following side effects:

• Gastrointestinal irritation
• Allergic reactions
• Itching
• Kidney toxicity
• Liver toxicity
• Diarrhea
• Muscle twitching
• Vomiting
• Weakness
• Incoordination
• Depression
• Paralysis
• Loss of appetite
• Irregular pulse
• Rapid heartbeat
• Bleeding
• Back pain
• Rash
• Indigestion

Check with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure these drugs do not cause any harm when you take them along with other medicines. Never stop taking your medication and never change your dose or frequency without consulting your doctor.
