Herbs For Heart diseases

A healthy heart translates into a healthy mind and body. Nature has blessed mankind with a variety of herbs that serve multiple purposes, one of them being strengthening your heart.

The holy basil, an indigenous herb also known as Tulsi, has as its primary constituents mainly oleanolic acid, rosmarinic acid, carvacrol, and beta caryophyllenen, which help to overcome malaise associated with cardiac disease, reduce cholesterol, and also strengthen the heart and blood vessels. A decoction of a few leaves in water can be consumed 2-3 times in a day. The leaves may also be crushed and added to salads.

People suffering from hypertension are at high risk of getting a heart attack. Anethole in fennel is effective in controlling blood pressure, thereby reducing the stress on the heart. Fennel water can be consumed 1-2 times a day or can be added to salad and vegetable preparations. Fennel seeds can also be chewed after meals.

Benefits Of Growing Medicinal Herbs

Health benefits
Even if you’re more a user of traditional as opposed to alternative medicine, there’s no reason not to also embrace the gentler health benefits of herbs. Herbs have been used for their medicinal properties for literally thousands of years, and particularly for minor ailments and to boost the immune system, they’re hard to beat.
Here are some of the best herbs to grow for medicinal purposes: Echinacea (help activate white blood cells, helps your body fight infection, can protect against viral infections like the common cold); milk thistle (proven in many scientific studies to aid, regulate and strengthen liver function); ginseng (reduces cholesterol and has a protective effect on the liver), and chamomile (an effective, mild cure for insomnia).

Generally, the best way to take medicinal herbs is as an infusion. About ¼ cup of loose fresh herbs per cup of boiling water will usually give you a drink of about the right strength once you have allowed it to steep for 10-15 minutes (you can always adjust it next time if it’s too strong or too weak). If you find a certain herb unpalatable, try adding a lemon-flavored herb into the mix and also a little honey.

Hardy, attractive, easy-to-grow plants for your garden
The majority of medicinal herbs are very non-fussy and easy to grow. Some of them are actually almost too easy to grow, and if unchecked, can take over a garden! They’re also highly resistant to pests, as the whole purpose of their essential oils is to repel bugs and insects (and to deter animals from eating them too).

Personal satisfaction
Medicinal herbs have some obvious benefits. But aside from these (health properties and aesthetic qualities), growing herbs organically in your garden, then harvesting them and using them to improve the health of you and your family is just a pretty hard feeling to beat. There’s no reason you couldn’t purchase herbal preparations from the store and grow flowers in your garden, but doing it yourself (and killing two birds with one stone) is very satisfying.

Natural medicinal herbs

SPECIALLY GROWN MEDICINAL HERBS  Fresh Medicinal herbs maintain a special power, having more prana or chi than dry ones. Their juice is particularly strong. Fresh herbs, even singly or in small dosages, can affect the body and mind directly, and have better healing power. Home-grown herbs, grown with love and attention, possess a more gentle, yet consistent, healing power. A few well-grown or prepared medicinal herbs can cure diseases that many herbs otherwise cannot touch.
WILD HERBS Wild herbs possess the strongest prana. Handpick your own with care, love and respect. They transmit the force of Nature herself.
DOSAGE Medicinal Herbs can be taken as powders, 1-4 grams (four grams is one teaspoon or a little more for most powered herbs), two or three times daily. Again the lower dosage is for the stronger tasting herbs. The appropriate vehicles (anupanas) like honey for Kapha, ghee for Pitta or warm milk for Vata, should be used. SECTION OF HERBS Potentization of medicinal herbs is not just a physical or chemical matter. It requires strengthening the prana or life force or the herbs, which in turn requires an act of consciousness. It cannot be done by mechanical methods alone. Medicinal herbs vary in their general properties, particularly by degree, according to how the herb is grown, prepared and combined. Miraculous medicinal powers can be found in very ordinary herbs when they are specially grown and prepared. All natural medicinal herbs are vehicles of prana or cosmic healing power.

Culinary Herbs Ornamental Herbs and Medicinal Herbs

Herb gardening has been around for centuries and the joys of an herbal garden is well know to many gardeners. Even beginner gardeners can have a high quality of success by starting with the basics and working their way up to a more complicated herbal garden. You can plant a container herb garden or an indoor herb garden. There are three categories of herbs that can be grown in you herbal gardens, culinary herbs, ornamental herbs, or medicinal herbs.

Culinary herb gardening's purpose is to add spice and flavor to your cooking. Culinary herbs are the herbs that use fresh or dried leaves in cooking. Some of the classic culinary herbs are parsley, oregano, rosemary and basil. You may even want to plant some sage and thyme. There is a difference between herbs and spices. Spices are seeds, roots, fruits, flowers, and bark while, as mentioned above, culinary herbs are fresh or dried leaves.

When considering your culinary herb garden your most important decision is the location. You will need a sunny spot with at least six hours of sun. The more sun the herb garden gets the more flavor will develop in the herbs. Try to place your culinary herb garden as close to the kitchen door as possible. This will ensure that the herbs will be used daily.

A simple and delicious way to use basil is to slice some juicy ripe tomatoes and fresh mozzarella. Overlap them on a plate, sprinkle on some extra virgin olive oil and chopped basil. It is also good with a squeeze of fresh lemon. Anyone that has grown a culinary herb garden and used the fresh herbs will tell you that the fresh herbs are superior over the dried herbs.

Ornamental herb gardening can make your gardens not only practical but beautiful too. By "ornamental" we mean that the primary current usage is purely decorative. Some of these ornamental herbs have a long history of medicinal or culinary usage. Pots of ornamental herbs add color and texture to balconies or patios. They are perfect for lining your flower beds.

A good example of an ornamental herb is Dittany of Crete, a favorite oregano herb of many herb gardeners. It will form a low mound and produce leaves with fine silvery hairs. You would never want to use this in cooking, it is strictly for show.

Rue is another good choice for garden borders. Its unusual blue green color offers contrast to bright showy blooms. The rue leaves can be used as a garnish but because of its bitter flavor does not work in cooking.
Ornamental herbs are just what they say, ornaments for your gardens. Ornamental herb gardening will add texture and interest to your flower beds.

Now we come to medicinal herbs. Before the 1900's medicinal herbs were used widely in the United States. Somewhere in the 1960's herbs used as medicine dwindled. Now, many doctors are prescribing medicinal herbs as well as mainstream medicine.

There are three ways that the medicinal herbs work on the body. Medicinal herbs have been known to strengthen an organ so that it can heal itself. Some medicinal herbs purge the body of toxins and illness, while others build up the immune system which will help in retarding illness.

There are many ways to use medicinal herbs. A few are infusions, herb vinegars, ointments, teas and tinctures. For example, to make a healing herbal tea, boil water and pour over the fresh herbs in a cup. Let it steep for 5 minutes but no longer then 10 for it will get bitter.

The medicinal herb stevia can be used as a natural sweetener and is easy to grow in an herbal garden. It also decrease tooth decay and gum disease if used as a mouth wash.

Before starting any course of medicinal herbs, be sure to notify your Doctor to see if they will interact with any medicines you are currently taking.

These are some of the basics of the three herb groups. Plan your herb garden, pick a bright sunny place and plant your herbs. Remember you can plant an herb garden in the ground, as a container garden or an indoor herb garden.
