| Abstract: | Heart diseases
have posed a great challenge in the developing countries. Heredity, high blood
pressure, diabetes, high serum cholesterol, smoking, improper diet and
stressful life styles are the factors, which are responsible for heart
diseases. In Ayurveda believes that heart diseases are due to the imbalance of
three doshas and bringing the normal
levels of these tridoshas back to
normal will be major step in management of heart diseases. Ayurveda treats
heart diseases at two levels; first level is the preventive one and second
level deals with the treatment of heart diseases with different plants and
their formulations. In the paper, some of the plants and formulations, useful
in the treatment of heart diseases have been summarized. |
