Care for your heart.
Movement, rest, nourishment and rituals of attention.
Start with everyday care.
Eating well, activity, sleep and avoiding tobacco are part of the American Heart Association’s Life’s Essential 8, alongside blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and weight. Choose medical targets and activity plans with your clinician.
Choose supplements with guidance.
Begin with your individual needs and a conversation with a qualified clinician or pharmacist. Bring the product label and your medicine list: supplements can interact with medicines and affect tests or surgery. Read the FDA’s guidance.
Questions to take to your appointment
- What specific need would this supplement address?
- What evidence applies to me?
- Could it interact with something I take?
- How would we decide whether to continue or stop?
Make room for scent and ritual.
Oils and botanical absolutes offer a sensory focus for your ritual: a moment to pause and pay attention. Explore the research in NCCIH’s aromatherapy overview.
Read product-specific cautions and seek qualified guidance before use. A scent-free ritual is always welcome.
