Arjuna terminalia
One of the top Ayurvedic herbs for cardiovascular health! Like hawthorne in European herbalism, arjuna is India’s top heart tonic. Arjuna is high in heart-nourishing polyphenols, compounds also found in blueberries, cherries, and grapes. As a circulatory stimulant, arjuna is helpful for hypertension, high cholesterol, chest pain due to oxygen-depleted blood, endocarditis (infection and inflammation of the heart), tachycardia (rapid heart rate), arrhythmias (abnormal, irregular heart rate) and edema (or water retention) in the heart region.
