Based on true story When considering my health I am used to think in terms of Chinese medicine. Unfortunately, manuals write just about smoking and it’s influences. According to my own view with snuff it could be really like with teas. My new (and SAD) experience is I really can’t snuff scotches. Snuff/tobacco is dry, hot (it drains moisture and yin and add some yang part of energy). Scothes are the King of that. I have noticed they make my mucouses extremely sensitive and overexcited. And the main fact is they often lead to palpitations in my case It seems they are only one snuff I can’t use for long time. Oh, such a pity. I am absolutely keen on them! According to TCM, the condition of spirit (and heart) is affected by long staring. It should drain the “blood” which is just a poetic term (not the real blood) and palpitations are the typical symptom. It is why they are common symptom of drivers, overworked clerks and so on. I am a typical “office rat” and stare at my LCD the whole day. I suffer from palpitations time by time when I am tired. When using scotch, it is nearly sure they will come. Do you have some similar very personal experiences with some kind of snuff? I have tested it and it really works for me.

sounds like a typical liver (chinese ‘liver’ not just the actual organ…) symptom …overworked by staring as you call it (drivers or people who stare at a screen for many hours) should find relief when sipping “chrysanthemum beverage” .You can drink the tea all day for days on end without a problem. It will soothens irritated eyes and general restlesness / palpitations. It’s a favorite of many chinese taxidrivers actually !

Yes, on spot! Thank you for the advice, I have forgotten! I will try to find some tea with that.

Many thanks! Great and simple idea. It seems it works!!!

Thats great news - glad to’ve been of any help @Welblaud

And for a slightly more traditional look at it: Atrial Fibrillation In atrial fibrillation, the heart’s two smaller upper chambers beat irregularly. The condition itself is not especially dangerous but it can lead to blood clots, which in turn can lead to stroke. Atrial fibrillation is fairly common, occurring in about 2 million Americans overall and about 5-8% of those older than 60. You can get genetic testing done to show if this is your likely problem. I agree with the use of herbal remedies whever possible so hopefully the tea gives you relief. Also Hawthorn berry tea is good for the heart and blood pressure.

Learned something today - thanks for that ! @Bignose
