Natural Substitutes For Beta Blocker
drugs
|
|
Beta-Adrenergic Blockers like
propranolol, carveda, atenolol, concor, etc are drugs that are used for patients with high blood
pressure (Hypertension). But like any other drug even these have various unwanted adverse
effects and that is why people as well the doctors and researchers are now looking for natural
replacements and alternatives for these beta blockers. For instance, Asthma patients are
contraindicated for beta blockers as beta blockers may aggeravate bronchial constriction and so
those with asthma definitely need a drug that is made up of natural products and do not have
side effects or at least effects that are life-threatening or the ones that get far too serious.
If a patient is taking some other drugs along with the beta blocker then chances are that the
beta blocker will interact with the other drugs and may have side effects due to drug
interaction.
Mechanism of action of beta
blockers is blocking adrenaline effects and thus keeps the blood pressure in
control.

What are Natural Substitutes For Beta Blocker
drugs

Passionflower is an herbal
plant that works as a strong and effective relaxation as well. It certainly has no side effects.
It is as good as many other anxiety cure drugs and this is medially proved. The capsules and
tinctures of passionflower can be found in the health food stores.
Chamomile
tea is also a very popular relaxation remedy.
It has been used by people all over the world for a long time now. Just one cup is sufficient to
keep the blood pressure in our body in control. The tea needs to be fragrant and fresh in order
to show its efficiency and so the person who gets it should check that out.
There are herbal drugs that
claim to be natural and also a substitute of the beta blockers are not safe to use. These drugs
are not approved by the doctors or the scientists and are not prescribed by them either. These
herbal remedies are known as over-the-counter drugs and can not be fully trusted. Very few of
the natural drugs are proved to be effective at all to stop heart failure or even to be able to
control blood pressure.
There are some breathing
exercises that cures anxiety and therefore they help control the blood pressure hypertension and
thus block the harmful effects of the adrenalin, our sympathetic system. While keeping the back
straight and thus sitting in an upright position one has to place the tip of the tongue just
behind the upper front teeth and then exhale through the mouth. After emptying the lungs the air
is to be taken in through the nose while counting four mentally. Then the breath is to be hold
until you count seven. This entire cycle needs to be repeated for about fifteen minutes
atleast.
Pomegranate
juice is another health drink that is a
natural remedy for a heart conditions. It basically acts as an anti-oxidants. But it is been
said that relying solely on this juice as a cure for a heart problem or for controlling
hypertension is not a very good idea. This juice is natural and healthy and therefore safe but
needs to be assisted by other medication to cure cardiovascular conditions.
There are a few natural
remedies that are prescribed and promoted for various cardiovascular diseases. Like, L-arginine
which is among the best known of all the natural substitutes for a heart condition. This drug is
quite effective but the real effect of it is still not clear. The theory in which is works shows
that it should work wonderfully. The long term benefits are almost known but as it is natural
and therefore safe to use, patients do select it to try out for themselves.
Those are only a few strategies
of many to help you lower and even successfully take control of your high blood pressure
(Hypertension).
