Garlic

Garlic is an Ayurvedic Herb that is in the medicine cabinet for the heart.  It’s just an overall panacea for the heart.

In Western Herbalism it is used to warm the heart and does many different things.  It warms up the circulation a little bit and is a vasodilator that enhances the volume of the blood compartment and allows blood to get to various places.

Lowers cholesterol a little bit and lowers blood pressure.

For all that garlic does for the cardiovascular system, it’s not the best for any of them.  It’s a very general herb, and not a good targeted therapy.
