Homoeopathy & heart rate


Homoeopathic medicine can affect heart rate according to Mexican researchers. ECGs were recorded from healthy human subjects during 24-hour long intervals, using ambulatory equipment. The researchers calculated from the data various parameters, searching for those that change in a clear and systematic way under a homeopathic stimulus, (Strophantus hispidus 30c). The energy fraction at high frequencies in the power spectrum of heart rate variability fulfills this condition, and the researchers were able to interpret the results in a way consistent with the information on this medicine in the homeopathic Materia Medica.
