The spikenard or Nardostachys chinensis (NC) has been associated in previous studies with proper heart health and rhythm. A study published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine compiled past literature on NC to present evidence of the herb’s cardioprotective and antiarrhythmic qualities.
The researchers concluded that the findings demonstrated evidence of NC’s antiarrhythmic and cardioprotective benefits, but warned that the results could be interpreted another way because of the deficiencies and limitations of the studies cited.
