Namaste AVS IS A CONDITION WHERE THE VALVE that controls blood flow from the heart to the rest of the body becomes narrowed. This makes it harder for the heart to pump blood efficiently, leading to symptoms, like shortness of breath, pain, weakness, and sometimes dizziness as you mentioned that our LVEF is 50% which indicates that her heart pumping capacity is mainly reduced while her condition is moderate and not at critical. It is progressing and the suggestion of surgery is likely made to prevent further deterioration in Ayurveda, we always believe that where there is probation. There is also reversal to a certain extent, especially when the condition is caught in the modern stage as in your mother case. According to Ayurveda point of view, the pumping function is impaired due to VATA and KPHA DUSHTI along with obstruction in blood carrying channels In Ayurveda, there is no chance of replacing a valve or perform a surgical correction, but be able to reduce the progression of the disease, improve the circulatory strength, clear the obstruction nourish cardiac tissues and support, better oxygenation and overall heart function So in Ayurveda, there is no cure as through modern science.

Dealing with aortic valve stenosis, particularly when paired with high blood pressure and thyroid issues, calls for serious and immediate attention. While Ayurveda offers supportive therapies aimed at improving overall heart wellness and supporting her body’s vitality, it’s essential to prioritize the recommendations of her medical doctor, especially concerning surgery for moderate valve stenosis. Ayurvedic practices could certainly be complementary, but not a replacement for critical surgical interventions.
Ayurveda can be helpful in managing symptoms and supporting heart health. Here are some steps we may consider:
1. Diet: A diet rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables can be beneficial. Minimize intake of oily, heavy, or processed foods. Trikatu powder (a blend of ginger, black pepper, and long pepper) can be added if she can tolerate, to boost metabolism and alleviate excess Kaphadosha which might be complicating heart function.
2. Yoga: Gentle yoga and pranayama (breathing exercises) can help improve breathing and reduce stress. Yoga practices like Anulom-Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) and Bhramari (humming bee breath) must be practiced under the guidance of a qualified instructor if possible.
3. Herbs: Arjuna bark is traditionaly noted for its heart-tonifying qualities. It can be used as a powder or decoction to support the heart, but please consult a qualified Ayurveda practitioner before starting any herbal treatment.
4. Routine: Regular monitoring of blood pressure and thyroid levels is crucial. Ensure she takes her prescribed medication on time, and encourage moderate physical activity tailored to her abilities.
Ultimately, the planned surgery may well be the best course of action to prevent further complications given the lvef of 50%. Delaying necessary surgical interventions in the hope of curing the problem through alternative means could heighten risks. Always keep her cardiologist informed about any complementary therapies she is considering. Collaboration between modern medicine and Ayurveda can be harmoniously achieved when professionals from both fields work together with the patient’s best interest at heart.
