Ayurvedic Supplements for Heart and Blood Circulation:
According to the science of Ayurveda, the heart is the storehouse of energy. It is the heart that keeps life going from the start till the last breath. Undue stress to the mind and body, poor dietary practices, lifestyle choices, and emotional outbursts can be detrimental to the health of the heart.
Heart health is governed by three sub-doshas:
- Sadhaka Pitta (emotional balance),
- Avalambaka Kapha ((stability and strength) and
- Vyana Vata (blood flow and beat), which, though present everywhere in the body, has its seat in the heart. Stress aggravates vital sub doshas.
Nourish the emotional heart as well as the physical heart: According to Ayurveda, a holistic approach to heart health requires you to nourish the emotional heart as well as the physical heart.
- On the physical level, accumulated undigested material, or ama, clogs arteries. Free radicals bombard the system, impairing—among other things—the efficient functioning of the heart.
- On the mental and emotional levels, day-to-day stresses can add up and damage the delicate fibers of the heart.
Both mental and physical stress can hamper the functioning of the hormones in the body. This will consequently affect the cardiovascular system. Along with stress, bad food choices, smoking, and poor digestion will lead to the heart going on an indefinite strike.
Healing must come from nature’s plants: Life exists as a continuous flow, and there is harmony, in all aspects and among all beings which gives rise to health and happiness. As the human being is part of nature and also composed of all of nature, healing must come from nature’s plants that balance the doshas and support the mind, body, and spirit.

The hearty diet and exercise:

- Stay away from the fast-food culture and take in food only in the required quantities.
- Having food at the same time every day will go a long way in improving digestion and boosting immunity.
- Three healthy meals a day is the prescribed pattern.
