Seeking Ayurvedic Remedies for Low Pulse Rate (Bradycardia) - #39967

Avoid oily, spicy and bakery products. Regular breathing excercise. Increase intake of raw vegetables and fruits. Ashwagandhsrishta 20ml twice Tab PUSKERMUL 2-0-2 Follow up after 4weeks.

Hello I completely understand your concern. A low pulse rate (bradycardia) of 35–38 beats per minute can make you feel tired and low in energy, while your husband’s higher pulse rate (tachycardia) of 100–105 suggests a different imbalance. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅AYURVEDIC TREATMENT PROTOCOL (for Low Pulse / Bradycardia)

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION (Balancing & Strengthening Therapy)

✅ INTERNAL MEDICINES

1. Arjunarishta – 20 ml twice daily after meals with equal water ( strengthens heart muscles, improves cardiac tone, and stabilizes rhythm.)

2. Punarnavasava – 20 ml twice daily after food ( enhances circulation and reduces fluid retention.)

3. Ashwagandha Churna – 1 tsp with warm milk morning and evening – (balances Vata and improves cardiac energy.)

4. Brahmi Vati (with gold or plain)– 1 tablet twice daily – (supports the nervous and cardiac system, enhances heart rate regulation.)

5 Hypotone 1-0-1 after food (Improves pulse rate)

✅ EXTERNAL / SUPPORTIVE THERAPIES

Abhyanga (Oil massage): Daily gentle body massage with warm sesame oil especially over chest and upper back region to calm Vata.

✅ DIET RECOMMENDATION

✅ Include

Warm, freshly cooked meals with ghee and olive oil for nourishment. Heart-friendly foods: garlic, drumstick leaves, beetroot, bottle gourd, pumpkin, and moong dal. Fruits: pomegranate, apple, black grapes. Spices: cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and small pinch of black pepper. Warm milk with 1 tsp ghee + pinch of cardamom at bedtime strengthens heart and calms nerves.

❌ Avoid

Cold, dry, and stale foods. Excess fasting, skipping meals, or cold drinks. Overexertion, sudden heavy workouts, or emotional stress. Coffee, alcohol, and smoking.

✅LIFESTYLE & DAILY ROUTINE

Pranayama: Practice Anulom Vilom and Bhramari daily for 10–15 minutes to regulate heart rhythm and calm the mind. Meditation & Stress Control: Emotional disturbances aggravate Vata and directly impact pulse rhythm. Maintain regular sleep (10 PM–6 AM) and avoid late nights. Gentle morning walk or yoga (like Tadasana, Bhujangasana, Setu Bandhasana) for heart strength.

Note: Since your pulse rate is quite low (35–38 bpm), please continue to stay in touch with your cardiologist as well, as Ayurvedic medicines act as supportive therapy — not a replacement for emergency or critical cardiac management.

Wishing you a good health😊

HELLO,

A normal adult heart rate is between 72-100 beats per minute when the rate falls below 60 bpm, it’s called bradycardia In your case (35-38 bpm), the heart is breathing much slower than normal

This means the heart isn’t pumping enough blood and oxygen to vital organs

As a result you may feel -tired or fatigued easily -dizzy or weak -short of breath -cold hands/feet -occassional chest heaviness - low concentration

In Ayurveda, this condition is linked to imbalance of vata and Kapha doshas affecting the hridaya (heart0 and dhamanis (blood vessels) -Vata governs movement and electrical impulses of the heart -kapha provides stability and lubricatio

When vata becomes too low or obstructed by kapha, the heart’s rhythmic movement slows down- like a wheel stuck in mud This leads to “Manda gati hridaya”- slow cardiac acitivty

ADDITIONALLY -weak agni(digestive fire) and poor rasa-raita dhatu (blood tissue) nourishment cause reduced cardiac energy -Ojas depletion leads to weakness and fatigue

So, Ayurvedically bradycardia reflects -vata-kapha vitiation in Hridaya , with depleted Ojas and mandagni

TREATMENT GOALS -normalize vata-kapha balance -strengthen heart muscle -rekibdle digestive and cellular metabolism -rebuild Ojas (vital immunity and vitality) -prevent complications

Ayurveda can support and strengthen the heart naturally, improving energy, rhythm and overall well being However when the pulse is below 40bpm, it may indicate conduction block or serious sinus bradycardia- this requires concurrent modern cardiac evaluatio

With consistent therapy, mindful habits, and regular follow ups many patients experience a gradual improvement in pulse rate, stamina and vitality

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

For a pulse rate as low as 35 to 38 beats per minute, it’s crucial to seek immediate medical attention as a priority. Bradycardia at this level can be potentially dangerous and requires urgent care to rule out any serious underlying conditions. Please consult a healthcare professional urgently.

While Ayurveda can support heart health once the immediate crisis is averted, always keep emergency treatments first in cases like these. Post medical intervention, we can look at maintaining heart health through Ayurvedic practices. To balance a low pulse rate after medical assessment, you could consider following an Ayurvedic approach which would involve a comprehensive understanding of your specific dosha imbalance, likely kapha dominance, potentially reducing the natural energy or ‘Ojas.’

Encourage Kapha-balancing practices. Start with including spices like ginger, black pepper, and long pepper in your diet to stimulate agni and enhance circulation. Drinking warm water mixed with a pinch of turmeric and a few drops of lemon juice every morning can also stimulate circulation and increase heart rate naturally. Consider gentle yoga and brisk walks, ideally in the morning to invigorate the system—avoid heavy or oily foods that exacerbates Kapha.

For your husband with a higher pulse rate, the focus would be on pacifying Pitta with cooling, calming foods and activities. Foods like cucumber, watermelon, and coconut water can be helpful while avoiding spicy, salty, or sour flavors that can aggravate Pitta. Practicing mindfulness techniques such as meditation would be beneficial to manage stress, a common contributor to elevated heart rate. Remember, any changes in remedies should be conducted under the guidance of a healthcare professional, especially when dealing with specific dosha imbalances affecting the heart.
