The heart is a muscular organ that is the size of a fist and is located just behind and slightly to the left of the breastbone. The heart circulates blood through the cardiovascular system, which is a network of arteries and veins.

The word ‘heart’ describes something central, of prime importance, and which keeps everything else going. This literary usage in our day to day lives should normally be enough to remind us how significant an organ like our heart is for our body, and yet most of us fail to do enough to keep it healthy.

Ayurvedic Perspective on Heart Health is Vayanavayu, a subtype of Vata Dosha that is responsible for heart movement, pumping and propelling the blood regulating the blood circulation from the heart to the entire body. Sadhak Pitta governs our emotional balance while, Avalambakakapha nourishes, protects, and lubricates the heart. Cardiac diseases are mainly the result of an imbalance in one or more of these bodily humours. The umbrella term ‘cardiac diseases’ includes all the disorders related to the heart, including rheumatic heart disease, hypertension, coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, and inflammations like myocarditis, endocarditis, and pericarditis.

Today’s sedentary lifestyle, combined with alcohol, cigarettes, and trans-fat-rich junk food, causes a constant imbalance of Kapha Dosha and is the primary cause of rising rates of coronary heart disease. Toxin accumulations in the system as a result of faulty diet patterns and habits that are out of sync with the body’s natural rhythm also play a vital role. Pitta imbalance is the primary cause of inflammation, whereas Vata vitiation is the primary cause of most nervous system issues such as palpitations and hypertension. A vitiated Pitta Dosha also leads to anger and irritability that can make it worse for a patient already suffering from heart problems. Stress, obesity, high blood pressure, and increased cholesterols are other major risk factors for coronary diseases.

  • Toxic effects of drugs, such as cocaine or some drugs used for chemotherapy

AYURVEDA THERAPIES PROCEDURE

Shirodhara

‘Shiro’ means head, and ‘Dhara’ beautifully translates to stream. Shirodhara is a deeply relaxing procedure in which a continuous and uniform stream of medicated oil or medicated liquids is allowed to flow on the head in a defined manner for a certain period. This process is beneficial for anxiety disorders, insomnia, headache, psychological disorders, and cardiac issues such as hypertension, in addition to soothing the entire nervous system.

Abhyanga

This is an ayurvedic body massage that is performed with medicated oils and specific techniques such as regulated strokes and pressure on various parts of the body. Following procedures like Shirovasti, Shirodhara, or Shiro Pichu with Abhyanga shows better efficacy in treating several ailments including cardiac problems. The massage helps improve blood circulation and opens up the coronary channels thus, increasing the blood supply to the heart.

Virechana

This procedure involves the elimination of vitiated Doshas via the anal route using tools of induced purgation. Virechana is one of the five Pradhan Karma (main procedures) of the Panchakarma procedures.

This procedure effectively reduces weight and improves metabolism, contributing to heart health. Toxins that have accumulated in the arteries and veins are removed, and the blood vessels regain their elasticity, improving the blood supply to the heart.

Vasti (Basti)

Another of the Pradhan Karma (main procedures), this process involves the use of medicated oils or Ayurvedic decoctions in the form of enema, which is administered through the rectal passage and retained there for a while followed by an urge to excrete. Vasti is effective in balancing vitiated Vata Dosha and thus aids in the prevention of Vata-related heart disorders.

For more details, please get in touch with us and book a consultation with our doctors. The doctors would perform a medical examination and assign a treatment of Ayurveda for healthy heart.

Pizichil

This deeply relaxing procedure brings the advantages of both Snehana (oleation) and Swedana (sudation or perspiration) therapies. A uniform stream of warm medicated oil is gently poured on the body in a specific manner while a light massage is performed. The body is covered in warm oil which simultaneously induces perspiration and loosens the Ama (toxins) by this preparatory procedure. After finishing, the individual is covered with a cotton sheet or blanket and rests for a few minutes before taking a hot water bath. Rasnadi Churna, an ayurvedic formulation that balances Vata and Kapha Doshas, is then applied to the scalp. Pizichil is highly effective in the treatment of coronary artery disease, hypertension, high blood pressure and many neurological issues that also impact heart health.

Urovasthi

In this procedure, warm medicated oil is poured on the chest region in a leakproof trough made of a fine paste of black lentils, sealed to the area. The oil is left in the trough for 30–40 minutes before the lentil paste is wiped away. The medicated oil nourishes the muscles, nerves, and joints of the chest and aids in blood circulation. Urovasthi is beneficial in treating cardiovascular problems such as coronary artery disease, chest pain, and respiratory problems. This procedure is performed typically for seven days, but this can vary depending on the needs.

Sirovasthi

This procedure is similar to Urovasthi, but is performed on the head instead of the chest. After completion, a gentle massage is conducted on the back, neck and shoulders, and Rasnadi Churna is applied to the head. This procedure nourishes the brain and is an effective treatment for neurological problems, insomnia, and hypertension.

Shiropichu

In this process, a folded sterile cotton cloth or a cotton pad is soaked in warm oil and placed over the head for a certain time. Following the procedure, a relaxing head and neck massage can be performed. A few hours of rest is recommended before taking a relaxing hot water bath. Rasnadi Churna is applied to the crown of the head to alleviate cold symptoms. Shiropichu is particularly effective in treating neurological and psychosomatic issues in addition to its efficacy in ameliorating hypertension and other cardiac disorders.
