Is the herb Hawthorn safe to take with Ginsana and other herbal remedies?

Question

It's been working well to lower blood pressure and regulate heartbeat, but does it interract with other herbs like ones to help control diabetes?

Answer 1

Hawthorn is quite safe. I've not found any interactions. It is a coronary vasodilator, antispasmodic, anti-hypertensive, adaptogen, diuretic, sedative to nervous system, cholesterol & mineral solvent. It's just what you need.

But Ginsana is Korean Ginseng. It is more suited to men than women. Can cause hyperactivity in children. Not used in cases of high blood pressure or in menopause. Not taken for more than 1 month continuously.

There are better herbs for diabetes -- Goat's Rue, Dandelion, Fenugreek, Cinnamon, Bay leaf and others.

Answer 2

Hawthorne is safe in combination with any other supplements or meds. It is a gentle and safe tonic that can be taken over a long period of time to strengthen all cardiovascular conditions safely.

Answer 3

first of all,if you are a patient of cardiac ailments you should follow the three simple steps-

1-get ur lipid profile done.
