It’s happy to see that Post angioplasty with anti platelets and anticoagulants , you want to include Arjuna in your daily routine
It shows that not only trust in Ayurveda, but also your concern for safety and healing in the journey of cardiac recovery is present
It’s good to see my Patient in their healing journey. They want to combine world best medicines that is Ayurveda modern science.
Arjuna in Ayurveda is explained from centuries for it’s cardiac tonic properties
It has been described in class Ayurvedic books like Charaka Sammitha Sushruta Samhita for it efficacy in supporting heart health, regulating blood pressure, reducing palpitation, and aiding in the management of angina and other cardiovascular conditions
Its actions are known to be kapha pitta shamaka
As you said, you have underwent angioplasty on anti platelet and anticoagulant
Arjuna is having mild blood thinning properties due to its ability to platelet aggregation
This property while beneficial in a general cardiovascular context, combined with the modern science
The risk do not widely documented in clinical trials due to limited herb drug reaction studies But concurrent use will be at increased risk of bleeding bruising or slow clotting times
It doesn’t mean that every patient who were taking both medicine will be having the above risk, but it depends from percent to percent according to his constitution, imbalance digestive fire current pathology
In your case, if you want to include Arjuna in your routine, then it should require careful timing appropriate dosage method of administration is important
You haven’t mentioned when your and angioplasty was done
If within first six months, Post angioplasty better you avoid taking Arjuna
Chances of drug interaction may take place
It’s safe to take Post six months of procedure but do not discontinue any of the modern science medicine, you can take as a supportive
Dose must be 1 teaspoon in 300 ML of water and hundred ML of water boil until it remains hundred ML filter and drink twice daily on empty stomach.
Even Arjuna is having mild diuretic and anti-inflammatory effects useful in borderline hypertension, mild Amma and cardiac anxiety
So along with internal medicine, the lifestyle and the diet also plays a very important role
You had to start Satwik diet, include freshwater, lightly spices, and easily digest food. Avoid salt, fermented foods, deep fried snacks.
Include barley, Green gram pomegranate, and Amla juice in your diet
Taking ghee in small amount
Is safe
Wake up early, do pranayama. Do light walking, exposed to sun avoid every exercises workout or sudden exertion.
Practice Pranayam
Avoid stress, anxiety, depression
Always monitor for signs of overdose or sensitivity, if you notice any darje or persistent gum, bleeding, frequent nosebleeds or unexplainable weakness of the drug and consult both Cardiologist and ayurvedic practitioner immediately

Yes arjun is cardio protective, you can take in form of ghanvati also
If chal then you have to boil in milk and take in the morning
Most of the Ayurvedic medicine donot contradict other systems of medicine but you can keep a gap of 30-45 mins. Between 2 different pathies

Hi Sandeep,
yes, Arjun chal is well known ayurvedic herb used for cardiac support
it has cadioprotective , antioxidant and mild hypotensive properties
you can take but with Caution and medical supervision
Arjun is tested ayurvedic herb known as Hridya-a cardiac tonic that strengthen heart muscle, improve circulation, and support blood pressure
but when you are on anti platelet and anticoagulant medicine post angio Like Aspirin , clopidogrel or Apixaben , you must be careful due to the potential for excessive blood thinning
research about Arjun chal says
it contains Coenzyme q10- effect- boost muscle function
Reduces LDL cholesterol and improve HDL
mildly inhibit platelet aggeregation - which enhance effect of your allopathy thinners
You can take 3-5 gm bark powder , boil in 150 ml water reduce to 50 ml - take once daily ideally morning empty stomach
maintain 2-3 hours gap from your ALLOPATHY medicines
can also take Arjunarista- (Vaidyanath brand) - 20 ml with equal water twice daily after meals
same gap should be maintain between allopathy
watch for sign of excessive bleeding - gum,blackstool, bruising over body
regularly monitor INR or closing parameters
thank you

Consuming Arjun chal alongside your allopathic medication post-angioplasty requires careful consideration. The herb, derived from the bark of the Arjuna tree, is revered in Ayurveda for its potential to support cardiovascular health. However, since you are already on antiplatelet and anticoagulation medications, interactions between Arjun chal and these medicines could potentially alter the effects they are intended to have, such as thinning your blood.
First and foremost, it's essential to consult your cardiologist before integrating Arjun chal into your routine. This is crucial, as your healthcare provider is aware of your medical history and can advise on whether adding any herbal supplement is safe in your specific context.
If approved by your doctor, begin with a conservative approach. You might start with a smaller dose than usually recommended in Ayurveda — about 1 gram a day — to see how your body responds. You can make a decoction by boiling the bark powder in water and consuming it once a day. Monitor any changes like increased bleeding, or bruising, which might indicate an adverse reaction with your current medication. Provide feedback regularly to your physician about any reactions.
It's especially important to maintain cautious timing; try not to take both Arjun chal and your prescription medications simultaneously. Leaving a gap of at least a few hours between them could minimize potential interactions.
Again, while Ayurveda offers many valuable remedies, it is crucial to prioritize safety and harmony with your current treatment plan. The recommendations provided offer a groundwork, but they require professional medical oversight to tailor them to your precise needs. Always consult your healthcare provider with any dietary or herbal supplement considerations.
