Heart Diseases and Homeopathy

While men experience the typical symptoms of a heart attack like chest pain and shortness of breath, women often experience symptoms that are a little unusual. Indigestion is one of the unusual symptoms that women experience, which could indicate a heart attack. Women also experience symptoms like disturbance of sleep patterns as well as nausea, a month prior to a heart attack. Headaches are a symptom of high blood pressure, which can lead to a heart attack. But it is not a direct symptom of a heart attack. A homeopathic medicine called Strophanthus is used in the treatment of patients who have suffered from a heart attack.

The notion that heart conditions are caused by the activities or the lack of activity thereof of the modern day lifestyle is false. Recently, research conducted on mummies from ancient Egyptian civilization, using CT scans, showed incidences of heart conditions. Thus, it is untrue that heart conditions result from modern day habits like watching television and eating junk food. However, these habits are unhealthy as well and can cause various diseases and conditions.

When a relationship ends, you may experience emotional heart-break. Although, a heart-break does not have direct fatal consequences, it definitely contributes to cardiovascular conditions. The chronic stress, emotional trauma and unbalanced mental state that are caused by heart-breaks can increase one s risk of developing a heart condition. The stress caused by an unhealthy relationship can lead to the development of high blood pressure. There is a homeopathic remedy called Nux Vomica that is effective in maintaining regular blood pressure levels.

Strenuous exercise can have dangerous effects especially for those with heart conditions. But it is important to keep healthy and fit, by exercising in moderation. Weight loss can decrease the risks of heart conditions like heart attacks, hypertension and high blood pressure. Hence, exercising for ten to fifteen minutes in a day can actually help those suffering from heart conditions. Those with heart conditions can stay fit by going for a light jog or taking a walk every morning. Along with exercise, homeopathy offers medicines like Rauwolfia to treat high blood pressure and Naja for chest pains.
