Heart is considered the center of OJAS (Life Force). It serves us like a faithful servant without resting for a second till our last breath.
Insted of respecting and valuing this wonderful organ, we abuse it with bad fatty food, alcohol, smoking, obesity and stress.
TYPES OF HEART DISEASES
A. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD); Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD), Atherosclerosis. These happen with gradual deposits of cholesterol calcium plaques in the heart vessles. Doctors recommend angiography to check the blockage and suggest angioplasty (stents) or CABG (bipass).
AYURVEDA VIEW: the toxins (aama) form in the gut and travel in system to get accumulated in heart vessles. The VATA dosha gives angina pain and the bloating that heart patients feel. PITTA dosha causes inflammation in the arteries causing plaque. KAHPA dosha increases bad cholesterol and causes the plaque to harden.
HOW AYURVEDA TREATS CAD: (CAD REVERSAL PROGRAM)
AIM IS TO RELAX HEART MUSCLES, INCREASE OXYGEN FLOW, AND SLOWLY REDUCE PLAQUES, WHILE NATURE DEVELOPS COLLATERALS.
1. Ayurveda medicine to boost up the artery health and strengthen the heart muscles, like Arjuna, Punarnava, Chatushparni, Nagarjunabhra etc. (Kayakalp HRIDYA RASAYAN capsules/ tablets, Kayakalp Punarnava plus capsules, Heart Rasayan kadha herbs, etc.), Medicines to reduce cholesterol like KAYAKALP MEDOHAR, CAD elixir liquid, etc.
2. Panchkarma therapies like HRIDYA BASTI (Oil bath over chest), Anuvasan Basti & Niruh Basti ( retention enemas), Abhyanga and Shirodhara.
3. Diet and Lifestyle modifications, Exercise for heart; yoga and pranayama.
B. HYPERTENSION (High BP) is mostly caused by systemic acidity (AMLAPITTA) and atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries caused due to aggravated Vata & Kapha dosha.)
AYURVEDA TREATMENT:
Ayurveda treats hypertension at the root cause, may it ne AMLAPITTA (systemic acidity) or DHAMINI KATHINYA (herdening of arteries). This is done with ayurveda herbal medicines controlling aggravated VYAAN VATA and softening the arteries. With medicines, pranayama, meditation and PANCHKARMA helps a lot.
C. ARRYTHMIAS (PSVT/ VT/ Tachycardia) is caused by Vata dosha agrravation.
Ayurveda treats arrythmias by controlling apaan vat, vyaan vata and relaxing the mind heart complex. This is done with herbal medicines, pranayama and meditation, PANCHKARMA (Basti, Shirodhara, Hridya basti) and counseling for stress and depression.
D. HEART FAILURE: this happens when heart muscles are damaged by myocardial infarction (heart attack) or chronic long standing hypertension (hi BP) associated with uncontrolled diabetes.
With inability to pump blood, swelling in foot/legs is seen with breathlessness on exertion. Patient feels better sitting, whereas lying down causes breathlessness and cough.
This is diagnosed by clinical examination and Echocardiography; but no specific treatment or cure is there for heart failure except heart transplant.
AYURVEDA VIEW: Aggravated doshas (Vata by diabetes and Hi BP; Pitta by Hi BP; Kapha by edema-swelling water retention) are considered the root cause in Ayurveda.
Protocol to treat chronic Heart Failure:
1. Ayurveda medicine to boost up the EF (Ejection fraction) and strengthen the heart muscles, like Arjuna, Punarnava, Chatushparni, Nagarjunabhra etc. (Kayakalp HRIDYA RASAYAN capsules/ tablets, Kayakalp Punarnava plus capsules, Heart Rasayan kadha herbs, etc.)
2. Panchkarma therapies like HRIDYA BASTI (Oil bath over chest), Anuvasan Basti & Niruh Basti ( retention enemas), Abhyanga and Shirodhara.
3. Diet and Lifestyle modifications, Exercise for heart; yoga and pranayama.
