Our heart has two chambers which separates the oxygen rich blood from oxygen poor blood and each time you breathe the valves of heart opens and closes. There are many cardiovascular diseases that are caused due to the blood vessel and heart issues like lack of flexibility, blockage, fatty plaques of the arteries or lack of strength of the parties.
The modern medical systems suggest surgical treatment for the cure of the heart problems but on another hand, Ayurveda targets the deep root cause of the disease. The best cure for heart diseases is to adopt a holistic approach named Ayurveda the part of the great Indian heritage. This is not only based upon the ancient principle but many researchers worked and proofed that heart issues are reversible with the help of Ayurvedic treatment.
Ayurvedic Treatment for Cardiovascular Diseases:
Depending on the pathology, the line of treatment is decided; Ayurveda treatments are supportive and supplementary to the mainstream conventional medicine. The treatment modalities includes panchakarma, external therapies, Activities, Advice of food and lifestyle changes.
Panchakarma, as the name suggests is a part of the Ayurvedic treatment that helps to detoxify the body by eliminating the toxic wastes through 5 steps -Vamana, Virechana, Nasya, Basti, and Raktamokshana. The organs such as lungs, stomach, bladder, intestine, or the sweat glands are usually used to eliminate the wastes out of the body. In doing so, panchakarma helps in establishing a balance between the various doshas (energies), leaving the body (physical as well as mental) fresh, relaxed and healthy.
Two things are a prerequisite before carrying out Panchakarma - Oleation and Fomentation.
Oleation: Oleation is the application of oil (medicinal) throughout the body so that the goodness of the medicinal properties of the oil gains access to the body. This facilitates the treatment to a great extent and also ensures that the toxins (also termed as \"Ama\") that build up in the body tissues due to unhealthy lifestyle practices, eating habits, loosen up. Fomentation: Here the body is made to sweat profusely. The sweating goes a long way to liquify the toxins (softened by the sweat) which are eliminated via the sweat. The steps of Panchakarma Treatment
In Vamana, a person is given a medicine (emetic medicine) to vomit the toxins out of the body. Virechana is the step where natural or herbal laxatives are given to eliminate the wastes out of the body in the form of feces. In Nasya, a person is given a head and shoulder massage followed by Fomentation. Soon after, medicated nasal drops are administered through the nostrils to cleanse the head region. In Basti, the rectum is cleared of the toxins by the application of milk, ghee, herbal and medicated oil and decoction into the rectal area. Raktamokshana, as the name suggests is purifying and cleansing of the impure and toxic blood. Panchakarma Treatment for Heart Problems Five major procedures to eliminate the toxins from the body are popularly known as Panchakarma. The concept of cleansing the body is innate to Ayurveda and has been borrowed by allied sciences like Yoga. No other medical system in the world has the science of body-mind detoxification.
Panchakarma Treatment Therapies
Phase 1 Poorva Karma: Firstly, all the toxins are dislodged from where ever it is and brought to the gut by administering fats (oil or ghee) externally and/or internally followed by applying heat. Phase 2 Pradhana Karma: Secondly, these are expelled out of the body by 5 procedures (Panchakarma) Vamana (Emesis) Virechana (Purgation) Vasti (Medicated Enema) Nasya (Nasal Medication) Raktamoksha (Blood Letting). Phase 3 Pashchath Karma: Thirdly, the body has to be brought back to normal condition and rejuvenated starting with restricted diet and mild activity and gradually increasing it. All the above three are equally important. But in Kerala Panchakarma therapy, equal importance is given to the first and third step also. We believe that if the proper accumulation of toxins are not done, the elimination procedure becomes namesake. Likewise, if importance is not given to after care, immunity of the person is affected. Panchakarma is undergone both as preventive and curative mechanism.","dateCreated":"","author":{"@type":"Physician","name":"Dr.Srinivasa Debata","medicalSpecialty":"Ayurvedic Doctor","image":"https://assets.lybrate.com/img/documents/doctor/dp/e47a56777f949202971632383e0f8fbd/Ayurveda-SrinivasaDebata-Bargarh-b296f4.jpg","url":"https://www.lybrate.com/bargarh/doctor/dr-srinivasa-debata-ayurveda"},"interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"LikeAction","userInteractionCount":"0"}}},{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Question","text":"Rheumatic Heart Disease - What Is It All About It?","answerCount":null,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","upvoteCount":"0","text":"Some people have a sore throat which they think will go away sooner rather than later.

As Ayurveda believes in the natural ingredients for treatment, many remedies are available in our surrounding. Here are some commonly recommended remedies to prevent and cure heart diseases by Ayurveda.
Triphala: To reduce the blood fat level and high cholesterol Triphala- the mixture of three herbs named Amalaki, Bibhitaki, and Haritaki. This handles the causative issues of blood fat and cholesterol and keeps the heart healthy. Ashwagandha: This is a wonder herb to reduce tension from mind and body and provide strength to the heart muscles. Chaywanprash: this is the mixture of various herbs like sugar, honey, ghee, Indian Gooseberry (amla), jam, sesame oil, berries, herbs and various spices. Chaywanprash is an herbal jam which strengthens the heart muscles and boosts up the immune system as well. These three are the most common and easily available remedies for heart problems. Other than these three garlic, ginger, turmeric, saffron, arjuna, guggul, etc. herbs which are good for heart diseases and provides a complete cure.

The pulmonic and the aortic valves allow the blood to flow out of the ventricles. Valve problems occur when the normal functioning of the valve is impaired.
Impaired valve function leads to blood flow obstruction, which in turn can lead to stenosis of the valve. This puts lot of strain on the heart muscles, forcing it to work harder. It may also lead to the blood flowing backwards through the valve and back into the heart.
The various causes of valvular heart disease are:
Valvular heart disease: If you are suffering from rheumatic fever, it may lead to valvular heart disease Congenital heart disease: Congenital heart disease refers to various defects in the heart which are present since birth. In some cases, these defects may include being born with abnormal valves. Heart attack: If you have suffered a heart attack, your heart muscles may be damaged or impaired. Cardiomyopathy: This is a genetic disorder that is characterized by an inability of the heart to pump blood efficiently. Age: Ageing may cause certain changes in the body that lead to valvular heart disease. Valvular heart disease is treated by various homeopathic remedies that do not have any side effect. It takes a holistic approach to healing the body as it gets to the root of the disease. The various homeopathic remedies for valvular heart disease are:
Cactus grandiflorus: This remedy is used in a number of heart complications such as stenosis of the valve. It helps in getting rid of the inflammation in the heart muscles, so that the heart can pump blood efficiently.
