Study Notes
Herbal, Complementary, and Alternative Medicines
-
Metabolic Diseases: Impair body's metabolic processes (energy, nutrients, waste). Causes include genetic issues, hormonal imbalance, diet/lifestyle, toxins. Manifest as diabetes mellitus/insipidus, obesity, hyperlipidemia, etc.
-
Cardiovascular Disorders: Leading cause of death in Western world, often linked to lifestyle and heredity. Examples include heart failure, arrhythmias, venous insufficiency, atherosclerosis, and thrombosis. Respond well to dietary changes, exercise, and conventional treatments.
-
Heart Failure and Cardiac Arrhythmias: Treated with cardiac glycosides (digoxin, from Digitalis purpurea), lilly of the valley, squill. These increase heart contraction force, but are toxic in high doses. Other helpful herbs include hawthorn and motherwort. Many drugs are based on natural product templates, e.g. verapamil from Papaverine.
Plants with Cardiovascular Benefits

Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna): Improves cardiac function, lowers blood pressure, and increases exercise tolerance.
-
Coleus (Coleus forskohlii): Contains forskolin, which lowers blood pressure, improves cardiac function, and reduces inflammation.
-
Ginkgo biloba: Improves blood flow, cardiac function, reduces inflammation, and improves exercise tolerance. Also has antiplatelet/antisclerotic action.
-
Turmeric (Curcuma longa): Contains curcumin, a potent anti-inflammatory/antioxidant, which improves cardiac function, reduces inflammation, and enhances exercise tolerance. Has antiplatelet/antisclerotic action.

Venous Insufficiency
- Plants for Venous Health: Horse chestnut, butcher's broom, Ginkgo biloba, grape seed extract, pine bark extract, vitamin C-rich plants, flavonoid-rich plants, omega-3-rich plants. These improve venous tone, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation.
Antiplatelet and Antisclerotic Drugs
-
Thrombosis and Arteriosclerosis: Closely linked diseases often arise from poor lifestyle. Antiplatelet drugs (like aspirin) inhibit thrombosis. Many foods (flavonoids, anthocyanidins, garlic) have antiplatelet effects. Mediterranean diet (olive oil, red wine, high fiber) shows lower incidence of heart disease.
-
Antiplatelet Plants: Turmeric, ginger, Ginkgo biloba, garlic, onion, cayenne pepper, pomegranate, green tea, grape seed extract, pine bark extract, bilberry, cranberry.

Antisclerotic Plants: Ginkgo biloba, turmeric, grape seed extract, pine bark extract, garlic, onion, berberine-rich plants, flavonoid-rich plants, omega-3 fatty acid-rich plants.
Hypoglycemic and Antidiabetic Herbs
-
Hormonal role: Phytomedicines often support hormone function in some disorders but aren't substitutes for conventional hormonal treatments.
-
Diabetes management: Many foods and herbs help manage milder types of non-insulin-dependent diabetes by lowering blood glucose through various mechanisms. High fiber diets are particularly helpful, e.g. oats, ispaghula, and guar gum.
