Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Ventricular Tachycardia

Ventricular tachycardia is a medical condition in which the heart rate per minute is more than hundred beats and can result in symptoms like giddiness, palpitation, and breathlessness, and may be associated with a risk of sudden death.  The prognosis is more serious when ventricular tachycardia is associated with heart disease.  The modern management of this condition includes treatment with drugs, implantable heart devices or endocardial catheter ablation therapy.

Ventricular tachycardia is a serious medical situation and therefore requires treatment in a hospital with intensive care facilities.  Ayurvedic herbal treatment can be given as additional and supportive therapy in order to bring about long-term improvement and cure of the condition so as to prevent or reduce the need for long-term drugs, mechanical devices or ablation therapy.  Ayurvedic herbal medicines which have a specific action on the heart muscles and the conduction of impulses in the heart are used in high doses for several months together.  These medicines strengthen the heart as well as regulate the nerve impulses so as to bring about a normal transmission of impulses in the entire heart.  This gradually prevents abnormal beating of the heart, especially of the ventricles.

Once an improvement is observed in the affected individual with appropriate use of Ayurvedic herbal medicines, further medicines are given to strengthen the heart, regulate the nerve impulses, and prevent a relapse of the condition.  Overall, individuals affected with ventricular tachycardia need regular Ayurvedic herbal treatment for about three to six months in order to bring about a significant improvement in the ventricular tachycardia.  However, because of the risk of sudden death, all such individuals need to remain under the regular supervision and medical care of a Cardiologist.  Modern medicines can be continued along with the use of Ayurvedic herbal medicines so as to give maximum benefit to the affected individual.

Ayurvedic herbal treatment can thus be judiciously utilised in the management and treatment of ventricular tachycardia.

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”.
