Pulmonary valve leakage - #3446
Harikrishna
I had heart surgery when I was four years old because I had a hole in my heart. I'm now 26 years old. Two years ago I went for a checkup. The doctor said there's a leakage in your pulmonary valve. You need to replace that valve. I've been taking pills for two years.

Given your medical history with heart surgery and current pulmonary valve leakage, it’s important to approach any complementary treatment cautiously. Ayurveda can support heart health by focusing on strengthening the heart, improving circulation, and addressing underlying imbalances. Herbs like Arjuna, which is known for its cardiotonic properties, can help strengthen the heart muscles and support blood flow. Ashwagandha can help reduce stress and improve overall vitality, which is important for heart health. A diet rich in anti-inflammatory and heart-healthy foods like ghee, whole grains, and fresh fruits and vegetables, combined with regular exercise (as tolerated), can also support your cardiovascular system. However, since you are on prescribed medication, it’s crucial to work closely with your healthcare provider to monitor your condition and avoid interactions. Regular check-ups and echocardiograms to assess the valve’s condition are essential. Ayurveda can be a complementary therapy to support your health, but it’s not a replacement for medical treatment when it comes to conditions like valve leakage.

It sounds like you're dealing with a tough situation. From an Ayurvedic perspective, while valve replacement is a serious recommendation that should be followed up with a cardiologist’s advice, Ayurveda can maybe offer some complementary support to help you maintain your overall well-being.
Firstly, it's essential that you stay in touch with your cardiologist or healthcare professional about this, to ensure you're in safe hands. Ayurveda can be a supplementary wellbeing pathway, but shouldn't replace any urgent medical treatments or recommendations.
However, focusing on the heart's health, let's talk agriculture of life through diet and lifestyle that might help in supporting your journey. Consider eating more nourishing, calmin foods like cooked vegetables and whole grains. Cooked rather than raw foods are typically easier to digest and might be beneficial for your system. Include warming spices like ginger and turmeric—turmeric, indeed, is well known for its potential anti-inflammatory properties. But hey, remember to not overuse, moderation is key here.
Daily routines like gentle yoga, pranayama (breathing exercises), and meditation can help reduce stress and enhance heart health. Anulom-Vilom, a specific breathing practice, aids in calming your mind and boosting oxygen flow.
Stay hydrated with warm water or herbal teas, but try to keep caffeine to a little minimum cuz it can sometimes have stimulating effects.
Abhyanga self-massage using sesame or coconut oil, done maybe 2-3 times a week, can also help pacify vata imbalance which is often related to anxiety and irregularities within the body.
But, I'm level with ya, a lovely cup of heart-friendly tea breathing in your favorite chair can help blend the Ayurveda with modern lifestyle. It's about finding a groove that suits your rhythm.
Finally, just a nudge to listen to you body... and sometimes, best support comes from holding hands of modern medicine right alongside these holistic wisdom nuggets. Take good care, trust the process... and keep reaching out for support when you need it.
