Anyone know of a natural remedy to get one out of atrial fibrillation and convert back to normal beating?

tebehijos,

You're probably not going to want to hear this, but there is no "natural" remedy for atrial fibrillation.

If you have it, and if you've spoken to your cardiologist about it, then you know what causes it. actually, there is more than one cause for it. In all cases, it's disease of the electrical nodes in the heart, the sinus node (usually) and/or the AV node. It can be a "reentrant" kind (an extra "circuit" in the nerves of the heart) of extreme tachycardia or an "ectopic" kind (one or more places other than the SA node where the heartbeat starts), so one remedy, natural or not, wouldn't work on all cases of afib.

The cause is disease, a destruction of the fibers of the node(s) of the heart, and there is no natural remedy for this.

The result eventually will be a pacemaker or death.

Please don't waste time looking for a natural remedy. This is serious. Go to your cardiologist now.

Although traditionally used for relief of a variety of symptoms there are several problems associated with the use of herbals. The first relates to evidence of efficacy which does not match the standards imposed upon either synthetic chemicals or modern biological remedies. Second, there are issues of quality control, both in relation to the active ingredient and in relation to contaminants. In one product intended for use in prostatic disease, contaminants included diethylstilboestrol and warfarin. Furthermore, corticosteroids have been found in some remedies for asthma. Third, certain herbs are cardiotoxic whilst others can interact to either accentuate or reduce the effectiveness of conventional medicines used to treat cardiac problems. Despite advances in the management of atrial fibrillation over the past two decades, the prognosis of patients newly diagnosed with atrial fibrillation - both in terms of heart failure development and survival if heart failure develops - has not improved.
I add a link which contains information which you may find of interest.

In all cases where detailed information about this, or any medical condition is required, you would be advised to consult you doctor or cardiologist.
Hope this helps

Try standing under a tree during a lighning storm, if you insist on natural. Why natural? This can kill you.

I know of no natural remedy. My son died of heart failure at age 22. 2 years earlier he had been diagnosed with afib. He underwent a lot of treatments including electric shocks to his heart, a number of other invasive procedures and ultimately he lost his life. I urge you to see the best cardiologist you can find and forget about an easy cure.

a natural remedy is out of the question as far as cardiac converting your body can do it own it's on but remedies wont help.

HAWTHORN is a great HEART herb and VALERIAN ROOT helps with heart palpitations. They could possibly help.
**If you are on any other medications, it would be a good idea to consult your doctor first. But, overall, there should not be any problems with adding these natural product. And if you are not taking ANY medications, I would definitely recommend beginning these as a natural alternative to man-made drugs.
HAWTHORN BERRIES
Here is some information from http://www.bulkherbstore.com/HBP (you can find more info here)
Excerpts from Left for Dead
Hawthorn regulates high and low blood pressure, arrhythmic heartbeat and irregular pulse. Hawthorn prevents hardening of the arteries, treats arteriosclerosis and cools inflammation of the heart muscle. Used regularly, hawthorn strengthens the heart muscle and the nerves to the heart.

Here is some information from The How to Herb Book (p. 63)
VALERIAN ROOT
Valerian root is a powerful, effective antispasmodic. It quiets, calms, and has a healing effect on the nervous system. Valerian root is a marvelous weapon against stress and nerves.
