What Is Tachycardia and How Can Ayurveda Help in Managing Rapid Heart Rate Naturally? - #16059

Anonymously

A few weeks ago, I noticed that my heart was beating faster than usual, even when I was just sitting or resting. At first, I thought it was just temporary, but it has happened multiple times since then, which has me concerned. I started researching and came across the term tachycardia, which describes a heart rate that is faster than normal. However, I still do not fully understand what causes tachycardia and whether it is always dangerous. From what I have read, tachycardia occurs when the heart beats faster than 100 beats per minute at rest. But what I do not understand is whether this is always a sign of a serious heart condition or if it can be triggered by other factors like stress, dehydration, or caffeine intake. Could tachycardia also be caused by electrolyte imbalances, anemia, or hormonal fluctuations? I want to know if Ayurveda offers natural ways to manage tachycardia and promote a healthy heart rhythm. Are there specific herbs, such as Arjuna or Ashwagandha, that can help regulate heart rate and reduce palpitations? Also, does Ayurveda recommend specific breathing techniques or yoga practices to calm the nervous system and stabilize heart function? Another thing I am wondering about is whether diet plays a role in preventing tachycardia. Should I be avoiding stimulants like caffeine and processed foods that might be triggering rapid heartbeats? Does Ayurveda have guidelines on the best foods for maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system? I do not want to rely on medication unless absolutely necessary, so I am hoping that natural remedies can help in managing tachycardia effectively. If anyone has successfully controlled tachycardia using Ayurvedic treatments, I would love to know what worked and whether they saw long-term improvements.

Doctors’ responses

Tachycardia, or an abnormally fast heart rate, can have various causes, including stress, dehydration, caffeine, anemia, electrolyte imbalances, and hormonal fluctuations. While it is not always dangerous, persistent episodes may indicate an underlying heart issue or nervous system imbalance. Ayurveda sees tachycardia as a Vata and Pitta imbalance, where excess Vata causes irregularity and excess Pitta leads to heat and overstimulation of the heart. To regulate heart rate naturally, Ayurveda recommends herbs like Arjuna (strengthens heart muscles), Ashwagandha (reduces stress and calms the nervous system), and Brahmi (supports mental relaxation and heart health). Breathing techniques like Anulom Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) and Sitali Pranayama (cooling breath) can help calm palpitations and restore balance. Gentle yoga poses such as Savasana, forward bends, and heart-opening asanas can also support heart function. Diet plays a crucial role in preventing tachycardia. Ayurveda suggests avoiding stimulants like caffeine, processed foods, excess salt, and spicy foods, which can aggravate Pitta and Vata. Instead, focus on warm, grounding foods like cooked vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and heart-friendly spices such as cardamom and cinnamon. Hydration with herbal teas (such as tulsi or hibiscus) and coconut water can also support electrolyte balance.
