What kind of medications, drugs, home remedies, or natural substances lower your pulse rate?
Be careful with this one for obvious reasons! Before you “take” anything, try deep breathing exercises, which are almost guaranteed to work. Then, it is a good idea to rule out reasons for a higher pulse, such as circulatory problems, heart valve defects, arrhythmias, infection, dehydration, low blood pressure, hyperthyroidism, magnesium deficiency, thiamine deficiency, stress, diet aids, overuse of stimulants, smoking, etc. If everything is go, eventually aerobic exercise 3-5 times a week will reduce your pulse rate, as it has for me. If that’s not fast enough, adjust your fat intake away from inflammatory Omega-6 vegetable oils toward Omega-3 oils, first from fish, or if you are genetically disposed, flax and walnuts. Coconut oil (in small quantities), high in medium-chain triglycerides, has been shown to help regulate blood pressure. Glycerol, a natural supplement based on a molecule common to fatty-acid chains, has been shown to reduce pulse rate during exercise, if properly dilute
