Cardiovascular diseases are dangerous not only because they cause a sudden deterioration in health, but they can also lead to death. WHO has collected statistics according to which more than 17.5 million deaths occur annually due to heart failure. And these terrifying numbers are only growing over time. This state of affairs is surprising, because the sad outcome can be predicted in advance, and trying to prevent it is not difficult. Heart diseases are predictable and reversible. The likelihood of severe consequences can easily be reduced to zero by leading a healthy lifestyle. Of course, for this you will have to give up alcohol and nicotine, move more, and regularly go for routine examinations. This is most important for people at risk: those who suffer from hypertension or arrhythmia should take the most responsible approach to their health.
Traditional medicine recipes for atrial fibrillation
In the treatment of heart disorders, traditional healers have long noted the special benefits of certain plants. Due to the fact that these gifts of nature contain large quantities of vitamins, certain sets of microelements and specific organic acids, there is a rapid restoration of heart rhythm with a long period of remission. What do various herbalists recommend to their patients?
How is hawthorn useful for such conditions?
Tinctures of motherwort or valerian root are known to any person who has encountered heart problems at least once in their life. Positive results can be obtained if hawthorn is used to treat atrial fibrillation in cardiac patients.
This antiarrhythmic drug has long been used to strengthen the myocardium and improve nutrition of the heart muscle. In combination with valerian and motherwort, this plant is successfully used by cardiologists to restore heart rhythm.
If only one hawthorn is chosen to treat heart problems, it is recommended to pour 50 berries with 500 grams of boiling water and cook over low heat for 15 - 20 minutes. The resulting decoction is infused for 6 - 8 hours and taken 20 - 30 grams 3 times a day after meals for a month.
There is a scheme in which experts advise mixing pharmaceutical alcohol tinctures of motherwort, hawthorn and valerian in one container and placing it in a cold, dry place. This drug can be taken 15 grams 3 times a day, also for 30 days. This method of preventing atrial fibrillation must be agreed with your doctor.
Lovage for arrhythmia
Some recipes from various reference books on medicinal plants recommend using lovage to prevent rhythm disturbances. Treatment of atrial fibrillation with herbs is becoming increasingly popular among cardiology patients.
This is apparently due to the high risk of developing allergic conditions when using pharmaceutical products, as well as a sharp increase in prices for conventional cardiac medications.
To obtain the desired effect, you need to grind 50 grams of lovage grass root using a mixer or meat grinder, and then add 1 liter of water and simmer over low heat for 15 - 20 minutes.
The decoction is infused for 12 hours, and it is recommended to immediately prepare the next portion, since exactly 1 liter of this tincture is the daily dose of the drug.

Some experts recommend, if there is no effect from the therapy, increasing the daily volume of lovage decoction. Such advice is risky, since this plant has a pronounced effect on the heart muscle; its overdose is fraught with serious problems.
Celery for arrhythmias
When treating atrial fibrillation at home, do not forget about such a garden plant as celery. In addition to the use of this herb in cooking, it is often used in folk medicine.
To prevent an attack of atrial fibrillation, it is recommended to include a salad of fresh celery, parsley and dill in your diet every day. The medicinal plant is crushed, mixed with the listed fruits of the garden, salt, vegetable oil or mayonnaise is added to taste.
This dish can not only diversify the table of a sick person, but also help reduce the risk of developing attacks of rhythm disturbance.

What is traditional treatment?
For many centuries, medicine was perceived as a single direction, the purpose of which was to help a person cope with various ailments. At the same time, alchemists, as a rule, acted in urban conditions, who created a certain substance with the necessary properties from various substances. In the villages, healers were more trusted, who studied the healing properties of various herbs and plants and prepared various medicines based on them.
Traditional medicine represents a wealth of healing experience, based on the trial and error of many generations of healers who mainly used herbal medicine in their practice.
From the beginning of the 13th century, everything changed, as the first attempts to influence diseases with the help of spells and incantations appeared. Such occult actions were perceived extremely negatively by many representatives of “official” medicine, which provoked its separation from the so-called alternative. Nevertheless, over time, scientific research has proven the benefits of traditional medicine, as evidenced by the appearance of memories about it from about the 19th century. As a result, the accumulated knowledge in the field of traditional medicine began to be further enriched, and there was a clear separation of this direction of therapy from superstition and obscurantism.

Symptoms of the development of the disease
Manifestations or symptoms of atrial fibrillation always directly depend on the form of the pathology, the severity of the rhythm disorder, and the presence or absence of other associated problems. So the symptoms:
- the first detected attack of atrial fibrillation may be minimal. Sometimes patients can experience primary attacks of atrial fibrillation without even noticing them;
Atrial fibrillation
- paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is characterized by moderately strong manifestations that can last up to one week, after which the heartbeat returns to normal;
- persistent atrial fibrillation may last more than a week;
Persistent atrial fibrillation
- persistent atrial fibrillation persists for more than a year and can disrupt the patient’s usual rhythm of life.
With all forms of atrial fibrillation, symptoms of the disease may include:
- paroxysmal increase in heart rate;
- the occurrence of shortness of breath at rest;
- discomfort, pain or “interruptions” (delays or otherwise) in the functioning of the heart.
Such rhythm disorders can be supplemented by general weakness, dizziness, nausea, sometimes vomiting, increased urination, and patients may also notice symptoms inherent in the underlying disease that provoked atrial fibrillation.
But, even if the patient notes all the above-described symptoms of the pathology in question, it is impossible to independently make a correct diagnosis!
On their own, at home, the patient can only suspect a problem. It is possible to establish the correct diagnosis, identify heart pathology, and understand which type of atrial fibrillation is occurring only after contacting a qualified doctor and conducting a standard electrocardiogram.
