Hello Thank you asking the question. When elderly patients are already on Bp, diabetics and kidney medicines We must consider it very carefully and scientifically - especially regarding heart blockage CAN ARJUNARISTHA CLEAR HEAR BLOCKAGE? No honestly speaking it cant dissolve the establishes blockage But it can support heart muscles strength, circulation and stability when used properly and safely ARJUNARISTHA - Strengthen the cardiac muscle -Improves pumping efficacy -Mildly improves circulation -Helps in mild arrhythmia -It works as Cardiac tonic IMPORTANT CONCERN IN YOUR CASE 1.Both are on Bp medications Arjunaristha can slightly lower your bp 2.Male elderly patient has diabetics Arjunaristha contains jaggery so i wont recomend this for him 3.Female Elderly patient has kidney issues Fermented preparation are not ideal for kidney issues RECOMMENDED safe option 1.Arjuna Churna 1 tsp once daily with warm water Or 2.Arjuna capsule 1 capsule twice daily after food So, arjunaristha is a supportive tonic not blockage remover At this age safety is more important Wishing you a good health 😊 Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate
