Broom: Applications and Uses

Broom broom is used for functional problems of the cardiovascular system. For example, the herb can be taken to stabilize the circulation in cases of mild cardiac arrhythmias.

Cardiac arrhythmias are often manifested by heart stuttering, subjectively felt palpitations, anxiety, feeling of weakness, dizziness, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Taking broomweed causes a reduction in the excitability of the heart, slowing and stabilizing the heartbeat.

Broomweed may also help improve low blood pressure (hypotension). For mild cardiac arrhythmias, broom is sufficient for sole therapy from a herbal medicine perspective.

Broom – not only for the heart.
