Broken heart syndrome, also called stress-induced cardiomyopathy or takotsubo cardiomyopathy, can strike even if you’re healthy.
Women are more likely than men to experience the sudden, intense chest pain — the reaction to a surge of stress hormones — that can be caused by an emotionally stressful event. It could be the death of a loved one or even a divorce, breakup or physical separation, betrayal or romantic rejection.
Broken heart syndrome may be misdiagnosed as a heart attack because the symptoms and test results are similar. In fact, tests show dramatic changes in rhythm and blood substances that are typical of a heart attack. But unlike a heart attack, there’s no evidence of blocked heart arteries in broken heart syndrome.
In broken heart syndrome, a part of your heart temporarily enlarges and doesn’t pump well, while the rest of your heart functions normally or with even more forceful contractions. Researchers are just starting to learn the causes, and how to diagnose and treat it.
Here are natural remedies to assist you with the healing process:
1. Ignatia:Is a Homeopathic remedy (also known as Ignatia Amara or Iamara). Ignatia is used for acute grief and is the first remedy to consider in the case of emotional shock, whether it be the loss of a loved one, the breakup of a friendship or romantic relationship, the loss of a job or any sort of disappointment or trauma. The purpose of the remedy is to support the grieving process, allowing the person to better cope with their situation.
2. Bach Flower remedy Sweet Chestnut:Bach flower remedies help us to become more conscious and aware. They create harmony. Sweet Chestnut is very beneficial for those moments that happen when the anguish is so great as to seem unbearable.
3. Bergamot:Is an essential oil used in Aromatherapy. Aromatherapy has been used for hundreds and even thousands of years in healing and for purposes such as enlightenment, love, purification, protection, stimulation, enhancing moods; the list goes on and on. Bergamot is the “make you happy and smile” oil. It warms the heart chakra. It’s very uplifting yet relaxing oil and recommended when dealing with the emotion of anger. Anger is one of worst triggers for our immune system. Bergamot is also an amazing immune booster.
4. Yoga:Yoga accompanied with deep breathing can help you transform moments of heartbreak into moments of love. Inhale gratitude and love and exhale all sadness, anger and discord. Yoga allows you to connect to yourself and to your spirituality. All those deep breaths reset your mind back to its natural state: calm, focused, and sharp.
5. Exercise:Exercise raises your energetic vibrational frequency bringing you closer into alignment with Source and also increases happiness. Exercise improves mood by stimulating various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier and more relaxed. So get Moving!
