In Ayurveda, heart diseases are understood in the context of imbalances in the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), agni (digestive fire), and the overall well-being of the individual. Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to heart health that includes dietary recommendations, lifestyle modifications, and herbal support. Imbalances in the doshas, particularly Pitta and Vata, are often associated with heart disorders in Ayurveda. Excessive Pitta may lead to inflammation and heat-related issues, while Vata imbalance may contribute to irregularities in the heartbeat and circulation.

 

Ayurveda places significant emphasis on agni, the digestive fire. Proper digestion is considered crucial for maintaining heart health. Impaired agni can lead to the accumulation of ama (toxins) in the body, which may affect the cardiovascular system. Ayurvedic herbs are commonly used to support heart health. These herbs are believed to have cardioprotective and antioxidant properties. We acknowledge the connection between emotions and heart health. Managing stress and cultivating positive emotions are considered important for overall well-being.
