One of our body’s most vital organs is the heart. It is vital for human survival because it gives vital nutrients and oxygen to every region of the body. Staying active, abstaining from alcohol and tobacco use, eating healthfully, and preventing dangerous cholesterol from building up in the arteries are all important for the smooth operation of this crucial organ.
According to Ayurveda, the heart is one of the trimarmas, or “triangles,” of life and a significant energy center from which various circulatory channels, like the spokes of a wheel, emerge. It is the source of prana, or life force, and according to Ayurveda, having a healthy heart can improve both our physical and mental welfare.
HEART-HEALING HERBS
Arjuna: The huge deciduous tree with a buttressed trunk known as Arjuna bears the same name as the gallant warrior monarch from the Mahabharatha epic. The bark of Arjuna is traditionally said to shield the heart from any imbalance and bring courage, strength, and the drive to achieve your goals, much as Arjuna easily dispatched his opponents and protected his family.
Being a hridya, or heart defender, herb, several formulations, like Parthadyarishta, are mentioned for maintaining heart health. Since maintaining normal blood pressure is crucial for preserving heart health, it also has a place in medications like Normact that do the same.
Amla, also known as amalaki or Phyllanthus euphorbia, is a fruit high in antioxidants and vitamin C. It might contribute to lowering cholesterol levels. Two amla fruits should be consumed everyday, or you can also take amla effervescent tablets.
Haridra or Curcuma longa (Turmeric): Turmeric strengthens the heart by clearing the body’s channels, lowering cholesterol, purifying the blood, enhancing digestion, and removing ama (toxins). You can use turmeric effervescent tablets or add a pinch to milk or hot water before drinking.
Ginger/ Zingiber officinale, widely known as ginger or universal medicine, aids with circulation and digestion. You can drink it as herbal tea or add it to your dishes.
Lashuna/Garlic: The herb lashuna, sometimes referred to as garlic or Allium sativum, lowers cholesterol and increases blood flow. You can eat two to three pods raw or simply toast them before eating.
