Based on the condition you described, it looks like your wife is dealing with a reduced mitral valve opening and possibly issues related to the heart’s ejection fraction (EF). It’s important to primarily consult with a cardiologist for precise diagnosis and treatment plan, as heart valve issues can be significant and time-sensitive. Meanwhile, integrating some supportive Siddha-Ayurvedic approaches can be beneficial in managing overall health.
Mitral valve concerns often link to an imbalance in Vata and Kapha doshas, affecting circulation and fluid accumulation. Addressing this imbalance through diet and lifestyle can support your wife’s condition. Focus on a Kapha-Vata pacifying diet: warm, light meals, avoiding cold and heavy foods that can aggravate Kapha and Vata. Freshly prepared meals with spices like cumin, coriander, and ginger can be beneficial to help improve Agni, or digestive fire.
Encourage gentle breathing exercises (Pranayama) to improve lung capacity and circulation, but only as advised by a doctor, ensuring they are safe for her current condition. Regular, gentle walks can also improve circulation without straining the heart.
A daily routine that includes conscious rest and relaxation can help balance Vata, but any herbal supplements or therapies should be carefully considered under the guidance of an Ayurvedic specialist familiar with her current health details, particularly with the heart’s status in mind. Regular follow-ups with her healthcare providers are crucial, to monitor heart health and adjust care as needed.
