The heart is a brilliant pump that delivers oxygen-rich blood to the aorta with every heartbeat. Like all systems, the heart and circulatory system are vulnerable and susceptible to damage. High blood pressure, inflammation in the arteries, and cholesterol deposits harm these vital supply lines, making them increasingly less permeable. Overweight and diabetes are additional risk factors. As a result, heart failure or heart attack can occur. The good news: You can do a lot for your heart health! Bestselling author Dr. Franziska Rubin explains in "My Gentle Medicine for a Strong Heart" the causes, symptoms, diagnoses, and standard therapies in an understandable way. This comprehensive, holistic guide covers therapies from conventional medicine, natural healing, homeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, and Ayurveda.
