Supporting the cardiovascular system with every beat!
Our heart and blood vessels are responsible for carrying approximately 7200 litres of nutrient rich blood around our body every day. The cardiovascular system, also known as the circulatory system, is responsible for the transport of blood carrying nutrients and oxygen to every cell in our body. This hard working system can face challenges, especially as we age. Regular exercise in addition to a balanced diet and lifestyle plays a major role in keeping the heart and circulation strong. Certain nutrients and herbs can play a beneficial role in supporting and strengthening this system as we get older. At Fusion® Health we understand the pivotal importance of reinforcing healthy food and lifestyle choices and also recognise the role herbal medicine can play in supporting cardiovascular function to keep the blood pumping strong well into old age.

Here’s what Chinese medicine has to say about the cardiovascular system
- The Heart is regarded as the most important of the zang (solid) organs and is closely linked to spiritual and emotional activity.
- The Heart is believed to control all life processes and coordinates the activities of all the other internal organs.
- The Heart rules the blood and blood vessels. When the Heart Qi is strong and abundant it can be felt as a smooth strong pulse, if Heart Qi is weak then so too is the pulse.
- The Heart houses the Shen (spirit) and the Heart blood nourishes the brain, governing mental activities.
