Cardiovascular heart disease (CDH) is the nations number one killer.
Both Heart disease and stroke are referred to as 'silent killers'
because the first symptom or sign in many cases is death. The vitality
and tone of the whole circulatory system is fundemental to life
and to the integration of all parts of the body.
The circulatory system is a network of channels (arteries, veins
capillaries) through which the blood and fluids of the body circulate.
Herbalists see the body as an integrated whole and the herbal approach
to healing recognises this.As with all systems of the body, an identification
of herbs for the circulatory system is a necessary simplification.
With this in mind there are certain "Key" herbs that play an important
part in the health of the heart and circulatory system.
