Would I be able to use foxglove to prevent internal bleeding such as in broken blood vessels? If so, what would be a safe recommended dosage. Thank you. Sometimes in the morning between 8 and 9 am, my fingers will begin to turn purple and feel cold to the touch. As soon as I have a warm breakfast, the problem usually goes away and my fingers regain their warmth. Can I use foxglove for this a s well? Thanks again.

Be cautious and discuss with your physician if you are already taking any allopathic medicine for Arrhythmia.
