Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Aortic Valve Stenosis

Aortic valve stenosis is a condition in which the aortic valve becomes abnormally narrow, either because of congenital causes, age related degeneration, or scarring due to rheumatic fever.  The constriction of the aortic opening results in a reduced outflow blood because of which the heart muscles need to work against an obstruction and therefore start hypertrophying and increasing in size.  The long-term effects of Aortic valve stenosis are a decrease in cardiac output and heart failure, with common symptoms such as chest pain, fainting, and breathlessness.  The modern management of aortic valve stenosis involves the dilatation of the valves or surgical valve replacement.

Ayurvedic herbal treatment for aortic valve stenosis is aimed at treating the leaves of the aortic valve as well as the associated tendons and heart muscles in such a way that the aortic opening increases partially, and at the same time, the cardiac muscles get strength and are able to achieve a good cardiac output.  Ayurvedic herbal medicines which act on the blood, muscles, and heart valves, are used in high doses, for prolonged periods, in order to bring about the required results.  Understandably, results are good and noticeable in the early stages of aortic valves stenosis, and may not be very effective in case of advanced heart failure.

Ayurvedic treatment consists mainly of oral medication; however, this treatment can be supplemented with the help of localized therapy as well as oral Panchkarma procedures.  The oral intake of medicated ghee results in a relaxation of the aortic valves.  In addition, localized Panchkarma procedures aimed directly on the chest wall, in the form of application of medicated oils and ghee, also help in strengthening the heart muscles and in partially relaxing the aortic stenosis.  Treatment is usually required for about four to six months, and can significantly improve the quality of life of affected individuals, as well as improve the overall survival of the patient.

Ayurvedic herbal treatment thus has a significant role to play in the management and treatment of aortic valves stenosis.
