Folk remedies and herbs for the treatment and prevention of heart attack and pre-infarction condition

During a hospital stay, treatment of a patient with a heart attack should consist of strict adherence to all doctor's recommendations. Folk and home remedies are not able to help during this period and, moreover, they are strictly prohibited. It is better to postpone them until later, for the period after discharge from the hospital. From the moment the patient is at home, a fairly long period of rehabilitation begins, during which medical prescriptions can be supplemented with folk remedies. However, is such an addition to therapy advisable?

Classification of heart attack

There are several classifications of the disease.
By stages of development there are:

First stage heart attack . This is the stage of the onset of myocardial damage. From the appearance of the first signs of a heart attack to the beginning of the death of part of the heart muscle, 15-120 minutes pass.

Second stage heart attack . This is an acute period of the disease, which lasts from two to ten days.

Stage three heart attack . Subacute form of the disease. Lasts 7-28 days.

Stage four heart attack . This is a period of scarring during which the heart adapts to continue working despite the tissue damaged by the scar. Complete scar formation lasts 3-5 months.

Based on the size of the lesion, a heart attack can be:

• small-focal – a small part of the heart muscle is affected;
• macrofocal - tissue necrosis is observed throughout the myocardium.

Depending on the frequency of development, a heart attack can be:

• primary;
• recurrent (occurs within two months after the first incident);
• repeated (occurs more than two months after the first heart attack).

Based on the depth of damage to the heart muscle, the following types of infarction are distinguished:

• subepicardial – the outer lining of the heart is affected;
• subendocardial - the inner lining of the heart is affected;
• intramural – the entire myocardium is affected;
• transmural – through-and-through myocardial damage is observed.

Depending on the presence of complications, a heart attack can be uncomplicated or complicated.

according to location :

• right ventricle;
• left ventricle.

By location of pain:

1. Typical form. Pain occurs in the chest.
2. Atypical forms:
   painless;
3. abdominal (abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea occur, the clinical picture resembles gastrointestinal pathologies);
4. edematous (swelling appears throughout the body);
5. arrhythmic (tachycardia appears, heart rhythm fails);
6. cerebral (headache, impaired consciousness, dizziness);
7. asthmatic (cyanosis of the mucous membranes and skin, shortness of breath, suffocation, symptoms reminiscent of respiratory diseases).

Treatment with cereals

The grain of almost any cereal, especially whole grain, contains a high percentage of proteins, amino acids, including essential ones, fiber, vitamins A, group B, C. However, during the germination period their amount becomes even higher. It is this fact that makes sprouted grains so useful both for everyday use and during the recovery period after myocardial infarction.

It is quite possible to germinate grain at home. Typically wheat, rye and barley are used for this. Before germination, the grain is disinfected with a 0.25% solution of potassium permanganate, then with boiling water. Fill a small glass jar (0.25 - 0.5 liters) 2/3 full with grain and top up with purified water. The grain absorbs water and swells. After 10 - 12 hours, the remaining water is drained, and the grain is distributed in an even layer on a glass, plastic or enamel tray, covered with 4 layers of water-soaked gauze. The top layer of grain is also covered with four layers of gauze, generously moistened with water.

After 2 days, when the sprouts reach a length of approximately 1 centimeter, the grain is washed with running water and eaten. This product does not require any additional cooking. Sprouted grain can be consumed either in its “pure” form or added to porridge, vegetable salads or any other dishes.

Causes of heart attack

A heart attack occurs when blood flow in the coronary artery is suddenly disrupted, blood stops flowing into the myocardium and part of it begins to die. The most common cause of blood flow disturbance is thromboembolism, which occurs against the background of atherosclerosis.

In rare cases, a heart attack is a complication of any other pathological conditions of the body (infectious endocarditis, trauma and abnormal development of the coronary arteries, and a number of others).

There are a number of factors that can trigger the development of the disease. These include:

• high blood pressure;
• hyperlipoproteinemia;
• sedentary lifestyle;
• unhealthy diet leading to the development of obesity;
• age - the likelihood of a heart attack increases in people over 55 years of age;
• diabetes;
• bad habits;
• male gender;
• hereditary predisposition - if close relatives have been diagnosed with a heart attack or ischemic heart disease, this increases the risk of developing the disease.

Treatment of myocardial infarction with folk remedies Traditional medicine for the treatment of myocardial infarction
Myocardial infarction is a disease caused by damage to the heart muscle - myocardium - due to blockage of the coronary artery or one of its branches. Complete blockage of an artery can occur as a result of atherosclerosis, the formation of a blood clot, or the release of a piece of cholesterol plaque that becomes lodged in the artery. The portion of the heart muscle served by this artery is deprived of oxygen and nutrients, causing it to weaken or die, a process known as a heart attack. In most cases, myocardial infarction causes severe pain, similar to that of coronary artery disease; however, some people experience mild heart attacks without knowing it or simply not paying attention to their symptoms. Symptoms of myocardial infarction: Suffocating pain during myocardial infarction usually begins suddenly, it does not go away after resting or taking medications and gets worse all the time. These attacks are not always associated with physical tension or stress, as with coronary artery disease; they often occur during rest or even sleep. Other symptoms include difficulty breathing, dizziness, nausea and/or vomiting, pale skin and cold sweats. Treatment of myocardial infarction: Traditional methods of treatment of myocardial infarction Myocardial infarction requires immediate treatment. If treatment is not started within the first hours after the onset of heart attack symptoms, irreversible damage to the heart muscle may occur. Prompt treatment can prevent or minimize the extent of chronic heart damage. Medicines that dissolve the blood clot or a small balloon inserted into the blocked area of ​​the coronary artery can clear the blocked artery and thereby restore blood supply to the affected area. Regardless of the situation and treatment regimen, the first hours and days after a heart attack are critical and require intensive treatment. With extensive myocardial infarction, death can occur despite treatment.

Non-traditional and traditional methods of treating myocardial infarction All of the following remedies are recommended for use after a heart attack during the rehabilitation period. ● Grind 1 kg of cranberries and 200 g of garlic in a meat grinder, add 100 g of honey, mix and leave for 3 days.

Symptoms of a heart attack

In most cases, the clinical picture of a heart attack is quite pronounced and characteristic. However, it should be remembered that there are atypical forms of the disease that can manifest themselves in different ways.

The main symptom of a heart attack is severe pain. It is burning, dagger-like, localized behind the sternum, and can radiate to the left arm, shoulder blade, and lower jaw.

Physical activity does not always contribute to the development of a heart attack. Quite often, a heart attack begins at night, at rest. It is necessary to differentiate myocardial infarction from an attack of angina.

Both conditions have a similar clinical picture, but unlike angina, pain during a heart attack does not stop after taking nitroglycerin and persists for more than half an hour. If the above symptoms appear, you must immediately call an ambulance and provide first aid to the patient.

Here are the basic rules, the observance of which can help save a person’s life:

• the patient is placed on a flat surface, the head is slightly raised, a nitroglycerin tablet and an aspirin tablet are given under the tongue, which must be chewed;
• In addition, the patient is given an analgin tablet, 60 drops of valocordin, 2 panangin tablets, and a mustard plaster is placed on the heart area.

Treatment with food

DC

Our usual products also have a therapeutic effect in case of myocardial infarction. Basically, they serve as a source of minerals and vitamins necessary for the restoration of the heart muscle. To recover after a heart attack, vegetable oils, nuts and bee honey are used, which may have the property of slightly dilating blood vessels and improving the nutrition of the heart muscle (although, of course, it is very far from medicine in this regard).

Below we have given several recipes for products based on healthy foods. 100 grams of walnut kernels are crushed and mixed with 2 tablespoons of honey. This amount of mixture is eaten per day in 3 doses. In addition to walnuts, bitter almonds are useful after a heart attack. It is recommended to eat 1 nut per day. 0.5 tablespoon of honey is mixed with the same amount of onion juice. Take 1 tablespoon 2 – 3 times a day. You can simply eat 1 tablespoon of honey without any additives 3 times a day every day.

Diagnosis of heart attack

There are three main indicators on the basis of which the diagnosis of myocardial infarction is made:

1. Characteristic symptoms . During a heart attack, the patient experiences severe chest pain that lasts more than 30 minutes and is not relieved by taking nitroglycerin. The patient complains of lack of air, suffocation, cold sweat, sudden weakness, vomiting, nausea, decreased blood pressure, and fear of death.
2. Changes in laboratory parameters . The number of cardiomyocytes in the blood increases, which indicates myocardial damage.
3. Characteristic changes on the ECG.

Treatment options

Myocardial infarction is a serious disease, against which modern medicine is sometimes powerless. Is it possible to hope to improve the condition of a patient who has had a heart attack using traditional medicine? It is possible if you use them wisely, in a timely manner and do not count on super results.

Medicines used to treat myocardial infarction at home must either have medicinal properties (herbal medicine) or be a source of vitamins and other substances necessary for the full restoration and functioning of the heart muscle (the use of cereals and food). All of these remedies can be considered a useful addition to the main treatment, but it is still better to use them only after consulting a doctor.

Treatment of heart attack (classical medicine)

If a heart attack is suspected, the patient is taken to the intensive care unit for a course of intensive therapy. The following therapeutic measures are carried out in the hospital:

• administering thrombolytic drugs to the patient, which can dissolve a fresh thrombus in the coronary artery and quickly restore blood supply to the myocardium;
• pain relief with narcotic analgesics;
• carrying out antiarrhythmic treatment;
• intravenous administration of nitrates to dilate blood vessels;
• taking medications that prevent thrombosis.

Methods of surgical treatment of infarction - coronary artery bypass grafting and stenting, balloon angioplasty.

Treatment of myocardial infarction with folk remedies

A huge number of people suffer from various ailments of the cardiovascular system. Such pathological conditions most often develop at a fairly mature age, but in some cases they are diagnosed in very young people. One of the most serious illnesses of this type is considered to be myocardial infarction, which can cause death.

Treatment of such a disease should be urgent and carried out exclusively in medical institutions. At the stage of recovery after a heart attack, the patient can use not only medications, but also traditional medicine, having previously discussed the advisability of their use with the attending physician. So, let's consider what folk remedies are recommended by healers for a patient to support himself after a myocardial infarction.

Fees

Various collections are most often prepared for consumption. Let's consider several of the most effective compositions of this type.

Combine five parts hawthorn flowers with three parts bird knotweed and two parts horsetail. Brew a couple of tablespoons of crushed and well-mixed raw materials with four hundred milliliters of boiling water and leave to steep for one hour. Then strain the prepared medicine. It must be consumed in a third of a glass to correct heart weakness.

Combine equal parts of sweet clover and meadowsweet herbs, hawthorn fruits, clover flowers, rose petals, fireweed and lemon balm leaves, as well as valerian roots. Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Combine a tablespoon of the resulting composition with one glass of just boiled water and place in a water bath for a quarter of an hour. Then set the medicine aside and let it sit for one hour. The resulting product must be filtered and taken orally, a third of a glass three or four times a day.

Combine equal amounts of sweet clover herb, dill, oregano and celandine, immortelle flowers, wild rosemary shoots and elecampane roots. Chopped and mixed plant materials need to be brewed with boiling water. You will need one glass of liquid per tablespoon of the mixture. Boil the product over low heat for two to three minutes, then leave for an hour. It is recommended to consume the strained medicine warm in the amount of a quarter glass after a meal.

Mono compounds

When treating myocardial infarction, it will be beneficial to consume hawthorn-based products, which have a positive effect on the activity of the entire cardiovascular system. To prepare the medicine, you will need a tablespoon of the fruits of this plant; they should be brewed with one glass of just boiled water. Infuse the future medicine for half an hour, then strain and consume half a glass in the morning and evening.

Consuming a product based on blackberry leaves has a remarkable effect. To prepare it, you need to combine a couple of tablespoons of crushed plant material with half a liter of just boiled water. Infuse this remedy for two hours, then strain and take with honey. The medicine should be drunk half a glass three or four times a day, and it must be warm.

You can also use grass or wild strawberry rhizomes. A couple of tablespoons of plant material should be boiled in half a liter of boiling water for a quarter of an hour to twenty minutes. The resulting drink should be infused a little, strained and taken half a glass three or four times a day immediately before meals. The medicine should also be warm.

Bee products

Such gifts of nature have a great many useful qualities. They can be used to correct a wide variety of pathological conditions, including helping to cope with myocardial infarction. Excellent results can be achieved by daily consumption of pure propolis. It should be taken orally at four to six grams per day, chewing for a long time. This drug has an excellent effect on the hematopoietic system, slightly dilates the blood vessels in the heart muscle and activates the flow of oxygen to the tissues, optimizing metabolic processes in cells.

High-quality honey has the same properties, but you also need to eat it in minimal quantities - a teaspoon or a tablespoon twice or thrice a day, adding it to milk, cottage cheese or juices.

Cereals

The consumption of sprouted grains has an excellent effect in the treatment of myocardial infarction. For this purpose, it is best to use grains of wheat, rye, and barley. The raw materials must first be shed with a 0.25% solution of ordinary potassium permanganate, and then with boiling water. This will help destroy all sorts of aggressive particles on the grain. Then fill a half-liter jar about two-thirds full with the raw material and fill it to the top with clean water.

After ten to twelve hours, scatter the grains onto a glass or plastic tray, first covering it with gauze, folded in four layers and soaked in water. You also need to place the same amount of gauze on top of the grain. After a couple of days, the resulting sprouts are washed and eaten on their own, or added to salads and other dishes.
