Arjuna- The Heart Tonic

Widely known as the cardiotonic herb, Arjuna is recommended for the healthy functioning of the heart and in general, acts as a health tonic. According to the Ayurvedic classical description of Terminalia Arjuna, it is a cooling, Kapha and Pitta pacifying herb, helpful in healing wounds, countering obesity and treating urinary disorders.

Studies show that Arjuna is effective for a variety of heart related conditions like high blood pressure, heart palpitations, rapid heartbeat and high cholesterol. Researches attribute these benefits to certain tannins and glycosides that have specific antioxidant properties congenial for the cardiovascular system.

The natural herb is believed to regulate cholesterol by decreasing LDL levels in the liver. It is advocated by Ayurveda as a liver tonic. The extracts of Arjuna are known to help in strengthening the heart muscles, relieving stress, and hypertension. Arjuna is also thought to fortify the central nervous system and to quicken individual reflexes.
