What Herb can I use to do this? Like right now,I have a hard time feeling my heart beat in my wrist. It's faint.

Answer
Hello Edward,

Hawthorn is know as the herb for the heart.
If it were me I would use a combination I carry clled Ginko Hawthorn. I would also use Co Q 10 75.
Magnesium complex is the essential mineral for the heart.

Lots of good fats would be important in the diet here so I would also use Super Omega 3.
I also really like a supplement I carry called CardioAssurance

If you are needing to break down fibrin in the blood then nattozimes plus would be an excellent choice as well.

There are many other good choices which can be made depending on the budget.

Eating the righ foods is also very important.  Lots of vegetables which are low glycemic (not potates), light on the meat, eating only fish from the ocean with lean poultry.  Good fats like nuts, olive oil on a dark green leafy salad, avacados, fish from the ocean, etc.  Be sure to follow your doctors redomendations on the foods you eat if any of these don't fit what he has said. Quality fibers which are good for your blood type are also very beneficial

Plenty of water and follow what your doctor has said about exercise.

I have seen many reverse this with the above.
