Pointing the Bone

[edit]

I understand that people that die psychosomatically - from voodo, the "pointing the bone" of the Australian aboriginies, and people that "turn their face to the wall" in hospitals - the immediate cause of death is congestiove heart failure.

Is this true? Is it worth mentioning?

Certain alternative medicines carry a risk of exacerbating existing heart failure, and are not recommended.[1] This includes aconite, ginseng, gossypol, gynura, licorice, Lily of the valley, tetrandrine, and yohimbine.[1] Aconite can cause abnormally slow heart rates and abnormal heart rhythms such as ventricular tachycardia.[1] Ginseng can cause abnormally low or high blood pressure, and may interfere with the effects of diuretic medications.[1] Gossypol can increase the effects of diuretics, leading to toxicity.[1] Gynura can cause low blood pressure.[1] Licorice can worsen heart failure by increasing blood pressure and promoting fluid retention.[1] Lily of the valley can cause abnormally slow heart rates with mechanisms similar to those of digoxin.[1] Tetrandrine can lead to low blood pressure through inhibition of L-type calcium channels.[1] Yohimbine can exacerbate heart failure by increasing blood pressure through alpha-2 adrenergic receptor antagonism.[1]
