+===== Strophanthin=====
+Strophanthin, also known as ouabain, is a cardiac glycoside derived from the seeds of the *Strophanthus* plant, native to Africa. It has been traditionally used for treating heart conditions, particularly in Germany, for several decades.
+==== Uses and Benefits====
+Strophanthin is primarily used to treat heart failure and angina pectoris. It works by improving the metabolism of the heart muscle and reducing the buildup of lactic acid, which can lead to heart attacks. Notably, strophanthin taken orally does not increase the strength of the heart's contraction (positive inotropy) as it does when administered intravenously, making it safer for long-term use.
+==== Safety and Side Effects====
+While effective, strophanthin can be toxic if not used correctly. Potential side effects include nausea, vomiting, and heart rhythm disturbances. It is crucial to use strophanthin under medical supervision to avoid these risks. In the United States, it is not commonly used but can be specially ordered from pharmacies.
+====Historical and Recent Research====
+Historically, strophanthin has been a subject of interest since the 1970s. Dr. Kern, a German doctor, proposed that heart attacks were due to metabolic acidosis rather than coronary artery disease, suggesting that strophanthin could neutralize lactic acid buildup in the heart. Recent studies have supported this theory, indicating that oral strophanthin can effectively prevent heart attacks without causing adverse effects associated with intravenous administration.
+Strophanthin remains a promising treatment for heart disease, especially in Germany, where it is used by many doctors. For further information and specific dosage guidelines, consulting with a healthcare professional is recommended.
