Can you recommend some herbs for improving heart conditions?

Hi David,

That’s a very good question and one we need to pay attention to. Would you do me big favor? I’m in midst of getting ready for Herbfest for next 2 weeks and if you can resend this to me after April 26 then hopefully can give you a better answer since it is a great question.

I’m not specifically addressing your question BUT..

• Foxglove is the plant from which digitalis is derived. Heart starter when have heart attack.

• Often it’s not the herbs that really help your heart as much as it is by using herbs as seasoning agents you eliminate the often fatty, non heart friendly seasonings such as adding salt to already high sodium foods, especially prepared foods, fats such as lards, butter, etc.

• Herbs add flavor to healthy food items and great example is tomatoes which are good for you and by themselves but greatly enhanced with fresh basil. By adding the basil you delete use of salt.

• Stevia is another additive used in place of sugar and often stevia is very good for diabetics to replace sugar and diagnosis of diabetes also is heart harming as disease progresses.

This just a beginning of discussion and back to you after Herbfest but remind me please.

Thanks.

Herbanite Bob
