Palpitations are the erratic or fast beating of the heart. The condition is not necessarily dangerous, but it can be disturbing, especially if it is partially caused by (or occurs in conjunction with) anxiety, stress, anger, or other emotional outbursts. Checking your blood pressure will give you an insight into the effect these palpitations are having, and the results may suggest possible treatment. The condition can also be a symptom of food allergy or candidiasis.
-Refer to suggestions under “Heart Disease” for dietary guidance.
-Make sure your digestion is good, and if you’re not sure, take a teaspoon of cider vinegar three times daily.
-If you are feeling undue stress and nervousness, add valerian root and skullcap leaf for a limited period. Stop the valerian after three weeks, but keep using the skullcap for at least three months. Lobelia leaf tincture would also be ideal for any panic moments—take a few drops at a time.
-Hawthorn berry would be an ideal herb to use every day as a general heart and circulatory balancer.
-If you often feel cold, take cayenne capsules.
-Massage with lavender, ylang-ylang (grade 1 or 2), peppermint, and rosemary essential oils, or use them in the bath.
