Heart Disease: Mayo Clinic's View on Alternative Medicines
Have you been diagnosed with cardiovascular or heart disease? Supplements and other herbal remedies should never be added to your treatment regimen without first consulting your doctor. Any form of heart disease is a serious medical condition and any herbal supplement (regardless of how natural the ingredients) could interact with medications that you may already be taking.
Although the term heart disease is often used synonymously with cardiovascular disease, other heart defects and circulatory diseases are also classified in this category. Always take your medications as prescribed, and before you make changes, discuss with your doctor how lifestyle issues, such as smoking, exercising, eating better and managing your cholesterol, can impact your overall health profile.
The benefits of alternative medicines and dietary supplements have been studied for years. According to a recent article on Alternative Medicine by the Mayo Clinic staff, there are several alternative medicines that may be effective in lowering cholesterol and promoting good heart health, to include blond psyllium, coenzyme Q-10, flaxseed, oats and oat bran, Omega-3 fatty acids and plant stanols or sterols.
