AVS IS A CONDITION WHERE THE VALVE that controls blood flow from the heart to the rest of the body becomes narrowed. This makes it harder for the heart to pump blood efficiently, leading to symptoms, like shortness of breath, pain, weakness, and sometimes dizziness as you mentioned that our LVEF is 50% which indicates that her heart pumping capacity is mainly reduced while her condition is moderate and not at critical. It is progressing and the suggestion of surgery is likely made to prevent further deterioration in Ayurveda, we always believe that where there is probation. There is also reversal to a certain extent, especially when the condition is caught in the modern stage as in your mother case.
According to Ayurveda point of view, the pumping function is impaired due to VATA and KPHA DUSHTI along with obstruction in blood carrying channels
In Ayurveda, there is no chance of replacing a valve or perform a surgical correction, but be able to reduce the progression of the disease, improve the circulatory strength, clear the obstruction nourish cardiac tissues and support, better oxygenation and overall heart function
So in Ayurveda, there is no cure as through modern science. It’s possible through surgery, but we can certainly help improve quality of life. Reduce symptoms, slow the progression and in some cases delay the need for surgery. Some of my patients under my guidance have showed improvement like reduced breathlessness. And and better life functioning.
So you need to concentrate on main three foundation that is internal medicine along with the changes and lifestyle modification
That our food should be light, but nourishing 
Avoid every oily, spicy and very salty food
Give warm cook foods vegetable soups, moong dal rice, Kanji steamed vegetables, and seasonal fruits like pomegranate or apple can be given include garlic in that
Avoid overheating letter, finish her dinner before 8 PM
Avoid lying on bed immediately after taking meals
Meal should be taken without any stress
Arjuna kwath-1 teaspoon in 300 ML water with hundred ML of milk, boil together, filter and drink twice daily on empty stomach
Triphala churna-1 teaspoon with warm water at night
Ashwagandha capsule once daily
Do pranayama Yoga Sanana
Yoga should be gently with caution over exertion is in cardiac conditions, but specific breathing practices can work like natural tonic, begin with slow breathing exercise exercises which regulate the nervous system, reduce blood pressure, calm, the heart, and improve oxygen delivery
Surgery may still be required, eventually, if the condition progresses, but Ayurveda and Yoga can do something that cannot they can nourish the heart from within, reduce the speed of progression, is symptoms naturally and bring her more strength, energy, and peace
Even if he eventually needs medical intervention, this natural support will help her recover faster and do better
It’s very important that she remains under regular cardiac observation to monitor her LVEF and valve function
Meanwhile, you can definitely start the ayurvedic protocol slowly and build upon it with guidance
Your care, love and intention to help your mother or the most powerful medicine combine that with consistent Ayurvedic practice and definitely will see positive changes
Healing is always possible

HELLO,
AORTIC VALVA CONTTROLS BLOOD FLOW FROM HEARTS LEFT VENTRICLE TO AORTA
IN AORTIC STENOSIS THIS VALVE BECOMES NARROWED MAKING IT HARDER FOR THE HEART TO PUMP BLOOOD TO THE REST OF THE BODY CAUSING- INCREASED PRESSURE INSIDE THE HEAR
LESS OXYGEN TO BODY AND STRAIN ON HEART MUSCLES

YOUR MOTHERS CONDITION IS MODERATE. THIS MEANS-
VALVE IS NARROWED BUT NOT YET CRITICAL,
LVEF- 50%. THE HEART IS STILL PUMPING RESONABLY(NORMAL SHOULD BE 55-70-%)
SURGERY IS RECOMMENDED ONLY IF IT BECOMES SEVERE OR SYMPTOMS WORSEN

WHEN THE HEART STRUGGLES TO PUMP THROUGH A NARROWED VALVE- LUNGS CAN FILL WITH FLUID CAUSING BREATHLESSNESS
FATIGUE INCREASES AS OXYGEN SUPPLY TO MUSCLES REDUCES

AYURVEDA CANNOT OPEN THE NARROWED VALVE BUT IT CAN-SUPPORT HEART STRENGTH
IMPROVE OXYGENATION
REDUCE FLUID BUILDUP AND INFLAMMATION
DEALY DISEASE PPROGRESSION

AYURVEDIC MEDICATIONS TO START
1)ARJUNARISTA- 15 ML WITH LUKEWARM WATER TWICE DAILY AFTER FOOD- TONES HEART, IMPROVES EJECTION FRACTION, REDUCES BREATHLESSNSS

2)PRABHAKAR VATI- 1 TAB TWICE DAILY AFTER FOOD - STRENGTHEN HERAT, IMPROVES ENERGY

3)SARPAGANDHA VATI-(ONLY IF BP IS MORE THAN 140/90)- 1 TAB BEFORE BED TIME

4)PUSHKARMOOLA CHURNA- 1/2 TSP WITH WATER TWICE DAILY

DIET TO BE MAITAINED STRICTLY-
AVOID- HEAVY, FRIED, OILY FOOD
INCLUDE- GARLIC, ONION, DRUMSTICK, TURMERIC, BEETROOT, AMLA,
PREFER LIGHT KHICHDI,GANJI, GREEN VEGETABLES AND ARJUNA HERBAL TEA
SALT SHOULD BE LIMITED 
AVOID FERMENTED FOOD AND PICKELS

PRACTICE PRANAYAM- ANULOM VILOM AND BHRAMARI- CALMS MINDS AND REDUCES BREATHLESSNESS
AVOID STRENOUS EXERCISE
MILD WALK IF BREATHLESSNESS PERMITS

SIT ON VAJRASANA AFTER MEALS FOR 5MIN
AVOID NONVEG , CHEESE, BUTTER

CONSIDER FOR SURGERY IF EF DROPS BELOW 50%
IF SEVERE BREATHLESSNESS, FAINTING OR CHEST PAIN INCREASES

THIS MEDICATIONS ARE FOR IMPROVING LIFE, SUPPORTICE LINE OF TREAMENT NOT THE FIRST LINE

SO GO WHATS GOOD CARDIOLOGIST SUGGEST
THANK YOU

Dr. Ayush Varma · Answer

Dealing with aortic valve stenosis, particularly when paired with high blood pressure and thyroid issues, calls for serious and immediate attention. While Ayurveda offers supportive therapies aimed at improving overall heart wellness and supporting her body's vitality, it's essential to prioritize the recommendations of her medical doctor, especially concerning surgery for moderate valve stenosis. Ayurvedic practices could certainly be complementary, but not a replacement for critical surgical interventions.

Ayurveda can be helpful in managing symptoms and supporting heart health. Here are some steps we may consider:

1. Diet: A diet rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables can be beneficial. Minimize intake of oily, heavy, or processed foods. Trikatu powder (a blend of ginger, black pepper, and long pepper) can be added if she can tolerate, to boost metabolism and alleviate excess Kaphadosha which might be complicating heart function.

2. Yoga: Gentle yoga and pranayama (breathing exercises) can help improve breathing and reduce stress. Yoga practices like Anulom-Vilom (alternate nostril breathing) and Bhramari (humming bee breath) must be practiced under the guidance of a qualified instructor if possible.

3. Herbs: Arjuna bark is traditionaly noted for its heart-tonifying qualities. It can be used as a powder or decoction to support the heart, but please consult a qualified Ayurveda practitioner before starting any herbal treatment.

4. Routine: Regular monitoring of blood pressure and thyroid levels is crucial. Ensure she takes her prescribed medication on time, and encourage moderate physical activity tailored to her abilities.

Ultimately, the planned surgery may well be the best course of action to prevent further complications given the lvef of 50%. Delaying necessary surgical interventions in the hope of curing the problem through alternative means could heighten risks. Always keep her cardiologist informed about any complementary therapies she is considering. Collaboration between modern medicine and Ayurveda can be harmoniously achieved when professionals from both fields work together with the patient's best interest at heart.
