What is clopidogrel and how does Ayurveda support heart health naturally? - #16621
A few months ago, my doctor prescribed me clopidogrel after I had a mild heart attack. I understand that clopidogrel is used to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of further heart attacks or strokes, but I’ve read that it can have side effects, such as bruising and stomach issues. While the medication is helping with blood flow, I want to know if there’s anything I can do to support my heart naturally alongside this treatment. Does Ayurveda offer any remedies or lifestyle changes that can help improve heart health and prevent blood clots, especially in the long term? I’ve heard that Arjuna, Turmeric, and Ashwagandha are commonly used to strengthen the heart and improve circulation. Could these herbs be beneficial while taking clopidogrel? Are there any natural anti-inflammatory remedies that can complement the blood-thinning effect of clopidogrel? Since clopidogrel can sometimes cause stomach irritation, I’m curious if Ayurveda has any digestive herbs or teas, like Ginger or Licorice, to help improve digestion and prevent discomfort. I’m looking for a holistic approach to heart health that doesn’t interfere with my current medication but helps me feel stronger and healthier overall. If anyone has used Ayurvedic remedies to support heart health alongside medications like clopidogrel, I’d love to hear your experience and recommendations.
