I have atherosclerosis how to remove heart blockages - #10053

Namaste Rashmi Ranjan ji, Atherosclerosis and heart blockages are serious conditions, and Ayurveda provides supportive therapies that work alongside modern medical treatment. The aim is to balance the doshas, improve blood circulation, remove toxins (ama) from the body, and strengthen the heart and nerves. Below is a holistic Ayurvedic approach for your condition: 1. Ayurvedic Herbs for Atherosclerosis and Heart Health Arjuna (Terminalia arjuna): Known as a heart tonic, it strengthens heart muscles, reduces cholesterol, and improves circulation. Take 1 teaspoon of Arjuna bark powder with warm water or milk twice daily. Guggul (Commiphora mukul): Helps dissolve plaque in the arteries and reduce cholesterol. Take 250 mg of purified Guggul with warm water after meals. Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa): Improves kidney and heart function, reduces swelling, and detoxifies the blood. Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri): Supports nervous system health, reduces dizziness, and strengthens the mind. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera): Reduces stress, supports neuro-muscular strength, and improves blood circulation. 2. Panchakarma for Detoxification Detoxifying the body is vital to remove ama (toxins) that contribute to blockages: Virechana (Purgation Therapy): Clears excess Pitta and toxins from the body. Basti (Medicated Enemas): A course of oil-based and decoction-based enemas can remove vata-related blockages and improve nerve health. Hridaya Basti: A specialized therapy where medicated oil or ghee is retained over the heart region to nourish and detoxify heart tissues. Consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized Panchakarma therapy. 3. Dietary Recommendations (Ahara) Your diet plays a vital role in managing atherosclerosis: Eat Heart-Healthy Foods: Include garlic, turmeric, flaxseeds, walnuts, and almonds. Use Ayurvedic Ghee: Medicated ghee like Arjuna Ksheer Paka (milk decoction of Arjuna) helps balance vata and nourishes the heart. Avoid fried, processed, and overly salty or sour foods, which aggravate Kapha and toxins. Include fresh fruits like pomegranate, amla (Indian gooseberry), and vegetables like spinach and carrots. 4. Lifestyle Changes (Vihara) Yoga: Perform gentle yoga asanas such as Tadasana, Bhujangasana, and Shavasana to improve circulation and reduce stress. Pranayama: Practice deep breathing techniques like Anulom Vilom, Bhastrika, and Nadi Shodhana for heart and nerve health. Abhyanga (Oil Massage): Daily warm oil massage with sesame or medicated oils improves circulation and reduces vata imbalances causing dizziness. Maintain a regular sleep schedule and reduce mental stress through meditation.
