RFA - #17260
A few weeks ago, I went for a routine check-up, and after a series of tests, the doctor mentioned that I might need an RFA (Radiofrequency Ablation) treatment for a heart issue I wasn’t aware of. I was a little confused because I had never heard of RFA before, and the doctor didn’t explain it in much detail. They just said it’s a minimally invasive procedure used to treat abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). I looked up RFA online and found that it’s often used for issues like atrial fibrillation, where it uses radiofrequency energy to destroy small areas of heart tissue that cause abnormal electrical signals. I’m a bit anxious because even though the procedure sounds promising, I’m not sure if there are risks involved, and I’m also wondering if there’s a natural way to manage arrhythmias before going down the route of RFA. Since I prefer natural treatments, I started researching Ayurveda. Does Ayurveda offer any treatments for irregular heart rhythms? Could this be related to an imbalance in the doshas—especially Pitta, which governs heat and energy in the body? Are there Ayurvedic herbs that help balance heart rhythms and improve cardiovascular health naturally? I read that Arjuna, Ashwagandha, and Guduchi are beneficial for heart health—do they actually work, and how should they be used? Also, should I be avoiding certain foods or habits that could make the arrhythmias worse? If anyone has experience with RFA or has used Ayurveda to support heart health, what worked best for you? Did you find relief with natural remedies, dietary changes, or specific therapies before considering the procedure? I really want to avoid invasive treatments and explore all natural options.
