I am desperate to be a semi-healthy human being again, free of this internal threat and am wondering if any one has found anything particular that has allowed them to be free from the tempestuous palpitations. This issue is deeply affecting my quality of life- so frustrating and scary. Thank you for any insight!!

I read something here from someone else who used two herbs. Motherwort and hawthorn berry. Both in a liquid tincture form. The person said they really worked fast. Just mixed equal portions and put a couple drops in mouth, and they said the palps. stopped suddenly. Hope this helps.Replied by Deborah (Chino Valley, Az) on 03/13/2012
Hi Randall, Here are two suggestions:
Honey Wine Heart Tonic
*Pour 4 cups of red wine** into a saucepan and add 12 organic fresh parsley stems (leaves and all).
*Add 1 TBSP red wine vinegar and bring this mixture to a boil. Turn down the heat and let simmer gently for 10 minutes.
*Strain off the parsley and stir in 1 - 1 1/2 cup of natural, unprocessed honey. Allow to boil for 4 minutes.
*Strain into a clean bottle which has been rinsed out with strong alcohol as a preservative. Bottle should be kept closed when not in use. Tonic does not need refrigeration.
Dosage: Take 1 TBSP of tonic twice each day, preferably in the afternoon and evening. Most effective if taken away from food.
This is an ancient heart tonic that works WONDERS. Please do not worry about the alcohol in it, this burns off with the boiling.
Try to use only pure, organically-produced wine if you can find it. If you can't, any red wine will do. Cabernet Sauvignon seems to work particularly well.
Also, the enzyme Bromelain seems to be very helpful with palpitations. About 100mg day seems to do the trick and seems most effective if taken with lunch or dinner.
Good luck!

It's usually a lack of potassium or magnesium, you need more as you get older. Best to get it naturally bananas, lemons etc but I've found some good supplements are good as well. It stops quite fast when you're on to it.Replied by Debbie (Melbourne, Australia ) on 03/13/2012
Randall, have a look at Jerry from Seal Beach's remedy for tachycardia.. Hawthorn and motherwort.

Try taking something called Natural Calm magnesium. Really helps quiet down the palpitations. Many hospitals give an intravenous form of magnesium to heart patients for this very issue. If you are having anxiety I would google energy healers as there are many qualified people that can help you with this issue faster than most supplements will work.Replied by Edith (Townsville, Queensland) on 03/14/2012
I also suffered from palpitations for years and know how frightening thay can be. I started taking magnesium at night before bed which helped a lot but they still occurred. I have been taking 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper in a glass of warm water each morning after breakfast for the past year and this is working so well that I very rarely suffer anymore, maybe once a month. Hope this works for you too.Replied by Tina (Houston, Us) on 03/14/2012
Hi, I suffered from symptoms like those you mentioned, and after a lot of testing it turned out to be a correlation between sugar consumed (in the form of sugar, starch from white potatoes, white flour, white rice, honey and from fruits) that were not being processed by the pancreas which were causing palpitations.
Once I eliminated high glycemic foods from my diet, I noticed an immediate change, and after about 2 weeks when I began adding sugar back into the diet they returned.
Of course, I now stay away from fruits (except lemon, lime and tomatoes), white rice, white flour, and use substitues like brown rice and coconut flour.
Additionally I worked upto 2 teaspoons of Natural Calm powder about 1-2 hours before bedtime sipping gently until I fell asleep. I can now say I am free of palpitations. It is a scary thing to experience especially in the nights so I hope you get better soon.

This is really fantastic (and deeply moving). Thank you all soooooo much for these remedies. I'm not sure where to start but I am taking notes and will try each one until something works. I feel some real relief in just reading through thes potential solutions. Thank you ALL again so much.. from deep in me heart.Replied by Bess (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) on 03/17/2012
An excellent book for those suffering from any type of heart problems is The Sinatra Solution: Metabolic Cardiology. In it this cardiologist discusses the "awesome foursome" - four nutrients absolutely vital for heart health. These are: CoQ10, L-Carnitine, D-Ribose and Magnesium. I just received it from the library yesterday and have found it to be an easy-to-understand and informative book. Cheers, BessReplied by Melissa (Gallatin, Tn) on 11/25/2012
Gardengirl.... I too live in Gallatin TN and have had heart flutters/PVC's for years... I hate them! Can you recommend a good safe brand to take of each of those? Thanks so much!!
