Angina

Angina is a warning sign that the heart isn't receiving enough oxygen-rich blood, usually due to narrowed coronary arteries. This classic “squeezing” or “crushing” chest pain may radiate into the arms, shoulders, or jaw, and can last up to 15 minutes. Whether triggered by physical exertion, stress, or arterial spasms, angina signals a need to support cardiovascular health immediately.

At Newtons Pharmacy, we offer a range of herbal and nutritional remedies to help support healthy circulation, strengthen the heart muscle, and reduce arterial inflammation.

Top Natural Remedies for Angina

1. Hawthorn Berry Extract
A key cardiovascular tonic, hawthorn helps dilate coronary vessels and improve blood flow to the heart. Rich in procyanidins and flavonoids, it supports heart rhythm, strengthens heart muscle contractions, and may help prevent angina episodes.

2. Magnesium
Magnesium plays a crucial role in relaxing the coronary arteries and reducing spasms. It helps regulate heartbeat, lower blood pressure, and ease muscular tension in the vascular system.

3. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)
CoQ10 supports the energy production of heart cells and improves oxygen utilization. It reduces the heart’s workload and may improve exercise tolerance in people with angina.

4. L-Carnitine and Taurine
These amino acids help optimize heart muscle energy efficiency and reduce abnormal rhythms. L-carnitine enhances fatty acid metabolism in heart cells, while taurine supports stable heartbeat and blood pressure regulation.

5. Arginine
L-arginine helps the body produce nitric oxide, which dilates blood vessels and improves circulation. Studies show that arginine can increase physical endurance and reduce angina symptoms with regular use.

6. Vitamin C and E
These powerful antioxidants help reduce plaque damage, slow the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, and promote arterial repair.

7. Essential Fatty Acids
Fish oils and flaxseed oil reduce inflammation, lower triglyceride levels, and improve blood vessel flexibility—key factors in angina prevention.
