Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease is a medical condition which causes a reduced blood supply to the arteries supplying the heart by a process known as atherosclerosis, in which fatty deposits accumulate in the walls of the arteries.  A partial block in the coronary arteries results in an attack of angina, while a complete block results in a heart attack.

Ayurvedic herbal treatment for coronary artery disease is aimed at reducing the deposits of atheroma which obstruct the lumen of the arteries, as well as treating other risk factors for coronary artery disease.  Ayurvedic herbal medicines which have a specific action on fat tissue and which prevent as also reduce atherosclerosis are used in high doses for prolonged periods in order to treat the root cause of coronary artery disease.  These herbal medicines also reduce overall cholesterol and lipid levels in the blood and regulate the reposition of fat in all the tissues, including the arteries.

Treatment also needs to be given for associated factors which contribute to an attack of angina or heart attack.  These causes include stress, high blood pressure, and diabetes.  All these contributory factors need to be treated aggressively so as to comprehensively reduce the risk for a heart attack.  Lifestyle changes also need to be made in order to reduce stress, manage weight, and undertake regular physical activity.  Most individuals who have confirmed atherosclerosis need Ayurvedic herbal treatment for periods ranging from three to nine months in order to significantly reduce the risk for heart attack.

Regular physical activity in the form of brisk walking, jogging, aerobic exercises, yogic asanas or a judicious combination of all the above-mentioned is important in order to reduce atherosclerosis and to reduce the long-term risk for an attack of angina or heart attack.  Individuals at risk also need to develop healthy eating habits and avoid foodstuffs containing high amounts of fat.  Stress can be reduced with the help of yogic asanas and breathing exercises as well as relaxation techniques.

Ayurvedic herbal treatment can thus contribute significantly in treating coronary artery disease and reducing the risk for heart attacks.

Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a medical condition in which the upper chambers of the heart beat at an abnormally fast rate. This results in dysfunctional blood circulation, which causes breathlessness, chest pain, fainting, and an increased risk of the formation of blood clots and other complications. There are multiple causes of atrial fibrillation which need to be investigated thoroughly in order to effectively treat this condition.

Ayurvedic medicines have a very good corrective action for the treatment of heart related medical conditions like irregular heart beats, conduction blocks, heart failure, and dilated heart. Angina pains, and recurrent heart attacks, which result from blocked coronary arteries, can also be effectively treated with Ayurvedic medicines.

Conduction defects of the heart include atrial fibrillation, bundle branch block, ventricular tachycardia, and ventricular fibrillation. These conditions can be treated effectively with Ayurvedic medicines. In addition to treating the conduction defects, known causes also have to be treated concurrently.

The scope of Ayurvedic treatment in such problems related to the heart is highlighted in patient testimonials such as the one given below:

“Dear Dr Mundewadi,

I really think your Ayurvedic medicine has saved me: last December 2010, I was taken to hospital for atrial fibrillation and given some medicine, multaq, which made me very weak, I could not have any activity, just go from bed to my armchair, and back to bed.

I turned to Ayurvedic medicine, and Dr Mundewadi sent me his medication for atrial fibrillation; by that time I had stopped taking multaq because of its side effects and replaced it with a beta-blocker.

I took the Ayurvedic medicine as well as the beta-blocker for 3 months, and at the end of May, went to my cardiologist who could not find any sign of atrial fibrillation; he told me to stop my beta-blocker and everything is fine, I am only taking warfarin and if all goes well, I will stop it in 6 months.

I think it is a pity Ayurvedic medicine is not well known outside India; I think Indian doctors should make their medicine known all over the world.

PS: Please feel free to use this testimonial, but just sign it with my initials, F.L.H., from France”.
