Folk Remedies for Heart Arrhythmia #4

Folk Remedies for Heart Arrhythmia

Arrhythmia is characterized by disturbances in the frequency and sequence of heart contractions. Treating arrhythmia with folk remedies alongside medication can help manage this condition. The human heart contracts in a specific order set by the heart’s conductive system, which consists of nodes and bundles of nerve tissue. This network of nerve cells and fibers located in the myocardium generates and conducts bioelectrical impulses in the heart.

Causes of Arrhythmia

These structures determine the frequency and rhythm of heartbeats. Arrhythmia can occur if the function of any part of this system is disrupted. When the heart beats too fast, it is called tachycardia; when it beats too slow, it is called bradycardia, although it can also remain within the normal range. A healthy person’s heart beats at a rate of 60-75 beats per minute. Arrhythmia can arise due to a weakened cardiovascular system, hypertension, brain injuries, brain tumors, adrenal gland or thyroid disorders, and during menopausal changes in the body.
