Description
The cardiovascular system has such an important job in the body - providing fuel and oxygen to all of the cells in the body and carrying away the waste products. When this system isn't working optimally, our overall health and vitality suffers. Thankfully, we have ways of supporting this vital system so that we can create wellness. There are many herbs that have traditionally been used to support the heart and cardiovascular system, and in this course we discuss some of the best ones.
In this course we cover the basics, such as where to source quality herbs, the types of herbal remedies that are commonly used, general dosing guidelines for tonic use, and how dosing for acute issues is different. A section on the importance of a healthy diet is also included, as what we eat builds our foundation.
Then we cover herbs that are traditionally used to normalize cholesterol and blood pressure levels. Next we go over herbs that have the ability to influence clotting, such as those used to slow or stop bleeding as well as those used to thin blood viscosity. A section on emergency heart care is included, and we end with a discussion on three superstar herbs for overall heart health that work as great tonics.
At the end of this course, there is a downloadable Quick Guide PDF with notes from the entire course so that you can refer back to the information as often as you need!
