In traditional Chinese medicine, the heart is said to correspond to the emotion joy. In many traditional cultures, the seat of perception, of experiencing the world, of communication with others is said to be positioned not in our brains but in our hearts.
Many plants that are considered cardioprotectives are also plants that tend to broaden our field of perception, open our channels of communication, lift our moods, usher in happiness, joy.
