There are different forms of angina pectoris, the peculiar disease that produces something like heart spasms. It is caused by an insufficient supply of blood to the walls of the heart, which in turn induces oxygen starvation. The serious symptoms do not appear all at once, but increasing instances of acute heart cramps accompanied by a feeling of tightness across the chest – called cardiac insufficiency – should be a warning that immediate action must be taken.
The newest treatment with hormones has yielded comparatively good results. There are, however, various homoeopathic and herbal remedies that should not be overlooked in the treatment of this disease. Correctly employed, they are invaluable. For serious acute cases Tabacum 6x is helpful, and Tabacum 12x for chronic conditions. The cramping heart pains which induce fear, dizziness and nausea, an irregular pulse and cold sweat will be relieved by
Tabacum. It is noteworthy that this remedy also works well in cases of nicotine poisoning, thus proving the homoeopathic principle, like cures like. Tabacum 6x will greatly improve the patient’s condition if he suffers from nicotine poisoning, which constricts the coronary vessels and causes the symptom-complex of angina pectoris.
