Which alternative therapy for heart disease?

[John_Main]

Hi all, I am new to this forum. This forum looks very interesting.

1. Which alternative therapies can improve heart disease?

2. And which alternative therapies are best for heart disease?

3. Which other websites or webforums give reliable information about those questions?

The question is far too broad for an answer on this forum. "Heart Disease" is not a diagnosis. That being said DO NOT DRINK FOXGLOVE tea, whichsome quack-brained alternative therapists have suggested for certain cardiac provlems.

This is pranayam - a holistic approach to help your body get better.Do it everyday and come back here to say what you think.Monitor your BP regularly.
Bhastrika - Take a long deep breath into the lungs(chest not tummy) via the nose and then completely breathe out through the nose.Duration upto 5 minutes.

Kapalbhati -(Do it before eating) Push air forcefully out through the nose about once per second. Stomach will itself go in(contract in). The breathing in(through the nose) will happen automatically. Establish a rhythm and do for upto 30 minutes twice a day.(Max 60 min/day) Not for pregnant women. Seriously ill people do it gently.

Anulom Vilom - Deep Breath-in through left nostril keeping right nostril closed
then - Breath-out through right nostril keeping left nostril closed
then -Deep Breath-in through right nostril keeping left nostril closed
then - Breath-out through left nostril keeping right nostril closed
and repeat this cycle for upto 30  minutes twice a day(maximum 60 min/day).

Tx. What do you think of acupuncture and fytotherapy for heart disease?

[John_Main]

I mean in combination with regular therapy and in communication with a cardiologist.

If you start doing the suggested free exercises you will not need to look for any other method to help you. You have to be determined to get better and continue the exercise everyday.My advice is start doing it and keep a log.All other therapies are temporary as they work while you do it and keep paying.
