LILY OF THE VALLEY {CONVALLARIA MAJALIS) – BLOOD VESSELS AND HEART MUSCLES

Convallaria — the Latin name for lily of the valley — is best used in the form of a standardised fresh plant extract, together with Scilla maritima (sea onion or squill). It strengthens the heart muscles and extends its favourable effect to the blood vessels. If the patient is given the same dose as would be given with digitalis, its action will be more gentle and produce no side effects such as are engendered by accumulation. Digitalis sometimes proves ineffective in cases of a weak heart resulting from influenza, pneumonia or other lung and infectious diseases, whereas lily of the valley invariably does the job more effectively. This plant can, and should, be used as a pre-operative heart tonic and it will also have a salutary effect if used after an operation. Those who engage in competitive sports, where a strain is often placed on the heart, will find Convallaria a real help. I have also had excellent results when using it to treat heart complications which occurred during or after kidney diseases and have found it most reliable in the treatment of arteriosclerotic conditions, high blood pressure and symptoms characteristic of degenerative and premature aging processes.
