Greetings,
Oriental medicine refers to it as
the Emperor. Natural Medicine views this as 50%
of the immune system. Art and literature see this
as the source of love and compassion. We call it
the heart and this is the topic of today's e- Newsletter.
The heart is considered to be the most important
of all the internal organs. Its functions include
the following:
1. Governs the blood. The heart is
the major organ that circulates the blood throughout
the 70,000 miles of blood vessels (yes, that is
seventy thousand miles). (The lungs are the second.)
2. Controls the blood vessels. The
state of the heart's energy is reflected in the
state of the blood vessels. If strong, the vessels
will be in good shape and the pulse will be strong
and steady. Frequent bruising point to a heart weakness.
3. The heart is said to manifest in the complexion.
Since one of the heart's functions is to distribute
the blood throughout the body, the state of the
heart can be viewed in the complexion.
If the blood is abundant and the heart
strong, the complexion will be viewed as rosy and
lustrous. If deficient, the face will be pale. If
stagnant, the complexion will be purplish or even
blue. ==========================================

4. The
heart "houses" the mind. Traditionally, the heart
is the residence of the mind and governs the mental
activities of emotions (particularly joy and sadness),
memory, thinking and sleep.
5. The tongue is considered to be
the "offshoot" of the heart. The tip of the tongue
is a diagnostic tool for the heart. If excessively
red or swollen, this can indicate problems with
the heart itself. Redness indicates excess heat.
Swelling points to spleen and/or lung related issues
with the heart.Also, continual bitter taste in the
mouth is ususally heart related issues.
6. The heart correlates with sleep
and dreams. When the heart is strong, the person
falls asleep quickly and sleeps soundly. The reverse
is also true. In addition, traditionally dreams
involving fire or related components correlate with
problems of the heart. Remember - the heart does
not like excessive heat.
7. Finally, the heart controls speech.
Problems such as stuttering and aphasia can be traced
to the heart.

Kefir
is a fermented milk product which has the consistency
of a milkshake. It packs twice the amount of innumity-boosting
live, active bacteria as yogurt. The healthy bacteria
in kefir also can lower cholesterol and rid the
intestines of cancer-causing agents. One 8 oz. serving
provides 30% of daily calcium needs and 25% of daily
protein.
---------------------
In terms of treatments, several volumes
can be written on this subject with ease. I am going
to narrow the choices down to the 2 that I have
used the most with great success. They are: 1. Cardio
Plus. This is a glandular-based formula from Standard
Process. It can assist the body in rebuilding the
heart muscle itself. From high blood pressure to
angina to constipation (the heart muscle being too
weak is the #2 reasons for constipation; dehydration
is reason #1),Cario Plus address these.
2. Of the multitude of herbs available,
I use Ren Shen the most. It is perhaps the most
powerful herb in the materia medica and is pinpoint
specific for the heart. Also address emotional aspect
of the heart.
Until next week.
To your health,
Dr. David Orman
