pda - #19533

My niece was born premature, and everything seemed fine at first, but after a few weeks, the doctors told us she had PDA. I didn’t understand what it meant at first, but they explained that it’s a condition where a small blood vessel in the heart that should have closed after birth stays open. At first, they said it might close on its own, so we waited. But after a few months, she still had trouble gaining weight, and sometimes she seemed to breathe faster than normal. Last week, during a follow-up, the doctors confirmed that the PDA is still there, and now they’re talking about medication or even surgery if it doesn’t improve. She’s just a baby, and the thought of any kind of procedure on her heart is terrifying for us. They’ve given us some time to see if it resolves naturally, but we’re desperate to find ways to help her. I started looking into Ayurveda because I read that there are natural treatments to strengthen the heart and support proper blood circulation. Is there anything in Ayurveda that can help in cases of PDA? Are there specific herbs or massages that could support heart health in newborns? I’ve heard of herbal oils that are safe for babies - can they help in strengthening her heart? Another thing I’m worried about is her overall immunity and growth. Since she was born early, she’s already on the smaller side, and now with PDA, I’m scared that it will slow down her development. Are there Ayurvedic remedies to improve her overall strength and help her body recover naturally? If anyone has experience with Ayurveda for congenital heart issues like PDA, I would really appreciate any guidance. How do we approach this naturally while still following the doctor’s advice? Are there signs we should look for to know if it's improving or getting worse?
