Alternative and Complementary Remedies for Arteriosclerosis And Atherosclerosis

Aromatherapy

The goal of aromatherapy is to help relieve symptoms of and strengthen one's resistance to various problems that afflict the heart.

Essential oils that may be used for clogged, hardened arteries include rosemary (Rosmatinus officinalis) and juniper (Juniperus communis).

Essential oils that may be used for heart palpitations or heart failure include:

Camphor (Cinnamomum camphora)

Lavender (Lavandula officinalis)

Melissa (Melissa officinalis)

Neroli (Citrus aurantium)

Peppermint (Mentha piperata)

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis)

Ylang-ylang (Cananga odorata)

Inhale the vapors from these oils as they rise from a bowl of water. Alternatively, you may mix them in a base oil and use in massage (2% essential oil and 98% base oil) or wear it as a perfume. You may also mix it with the bath water.
