 Ayurveda describes “hridya” (heart) as an essential body organ, governing emotions and circulating blood.  It is a seat of vyan vata, sadhak pitta, avalambak kapha, and mana (consciousness).

Coronary arteries are small arteries which supply nutrition, oxygen to heart muscle.

WWW.PLANETAYURVEDA.COM

 IHD starts by fat deposits within the coronary arteries.  The fat deposits forms a plaque within them by a process called atherosclerosis.

WWW.PLANETAYURVEDA.COM

 The plaque formation is triggered by stress, free radicals, smoking, pollution, sedentary life style and high intake of saturated fats.  In ayurveda arterial plaque is “ama” toxic matter that builds up in blood vessels.

WWW.PLANETAYURVEDA.COM

 Ama originates from improperly digested toxic particles that clog the channels in your body.  Others are nonphysical channels called nadis through which your energy flows. “Aama” causes blockage in all the channels within the body.

ďƒ˜ Some of these channels are physical and include the intestines, lymphatic system, arteries and veins, capillaries, and genitourinary tract. ďƒ˜ Others are nonphysical channels called nadis through which your energy flows.

 “Aama” causes blockage in all the channels within the body.  “Aama” is the root cause of auto –immune disorders, accelerated cholesterol and plaque formation, impaired digestion, accumulation of uric acid, urea, creatinine.

WWW.PLANETAYURVEDA.COM

 Food rich in saturated fats, high protein diet, disturbed liver function leads to “aama” formation.  Decreased digestive fire or “mand – agni” is the root cause of formation of “aama”.
