 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). WWW.PLANETAYURVEDA.COM


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

 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. WWW.PLANETAYURVEDA.COM


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. WWW.PLANETAYURVEDA.COM


 “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”. WWW.PLANETAYURVEDA.COM

Myocardial infarction (heart attack) – A heart attack occurs when the plaque, in the inner lining of a coronary artery suddenly ruptures, totally occluding the artery and preventing blood flow to heart muscle. WWW.PLANETAYURVEDA.COM

RESEARCH HAS SHOWN ARJUN BARK TO BE EFFECTIVE IN MANY WAYS:-

It lowers LDL cholesterol. It prevents the oxidation of this LDL cholesterol. It is oxidation that causes the LDLs to harden and turn in to arterial plaque that clogs our arteries. WWW.PLANETAYURVEDA.COM


Arjun bark has also been shown to inhibit the formation of abnormal blood clots (which are the leading cause of heart attacks and strokes).
