2. Arjuna (Terminalia arjuna)

A lot of research is available on this plant. It is very beneficial in supporting heart to fight against diseases caused by imbalance of fire energy i.e. “Pitta” as per Ayurveda.

Fire energy imbalance is responsible for anger, frustration, fear and hatred leading to palpitations, blood pressure, anxiety and stress. Terminalia arjuna is cooling in nature and helps to heal wounds of the arteries.

Terminalia arjuna protects arteries: A man’s age is known by the age of his arteries. Our arteries age quickly and are hurt by the free radicals generated by pollutants, stress negative emotions and high protein diet. The smaller arteries of eyes, skin, scalp, brain and heart are affected early. That’s why the signs of ageing are visible from face, hair, eyes and later heart arteries get blocked. A lot of studies are conducted recently for role of Terminalia arjuna bark on cardiovascular system.

Arjuna contains arjunetosides which are natural cardiac glycosides and helps to improve the pumping capacity of the heart without putting burden on the heart muscle. Therefore, the ejection fraction of the heart increases without any side effects. This makes it an effective herbal remedy for congestive heart failure or weak heart due to chronic high blood pressure or any other reason.
Arjuna helps to reduce the cholesterol levels by clearing the LDL’s and VLDL’s from the system. It also helps to reduce levels of Triglycerides and improve good cholesterol levels i.e. HDL.

This procedure is an ancient method to prepare the tea to get the maximum benefit out of the herbs. Today’s fast life has restricted and altered the methods of preparing the tea by dipping the tea bags in the boiled water. The results of dipping the tea in boiled water for few minutes do not give proper results. So it is better to take out some precious time for yourself in making this tea and get full benefits.

If you are too busy in your work then you can just take a teaspoonful of the powder and consume with water. This will save a lot of your precious time.
