Amiodarone: Can Ayurveda Help Manage the Side Effects of This Heart Medication? - #14833
My father has been taking amiodarone for the past six months for an irregular heartbeat. While it has helped in managing his condition, the side effects have been really concerning. He often complains of fatigue, dizziness, and blurry vision, and recently, his skin seems to be getting darker. His doctor said these are common side effects of amiodarone, but we don’t want to just accept them without looking for solutions. I’ve read that amiodarone can affect liver function and thyroid levels over time. We want to continue his prescribed treatment, but we also want to support his body with Ayurveda to reduce these negative effects. Are there specific Ayurvedic herbs that help detox the body while taking amiodarone? Can Ayurveda provide natural ways to strengthen the heart so that over time, his dependency on amiodarone is reduced? If anyone has experience using Ayurveda to manage the side effects of amiodarone, what worked best? Are there lifestyle changes or dietary modifications that can help lessen the burden on the body? How long does it take to see an improvement?
