Heart is considered to be one of the most important vital organs in human body by #Ayurveda. It is called as 'Marma’ (vital point)

Susruta mentions shape of heart (along with the aorta) is just like a lotus bud. Was that precision possible without dissecting cadaver?

Heart is mentioned to be the seat of Sadhak Pitta, Ojus and Atman as per #Ayurveda

Heart diseases are well mentioned in #Ayurveda texts with the name 'Hridroga’. Both etiopathology & treatment are mentioned in details.

5 types of heart diseases mentioned in #Ayurveda. Frm Vata, Pitta & Kapha individually & 1 together. Krmija ie due to microorganisms.

Factors for heart disease as per #Ayurveda are constant intake of excessive hot, sour, astringent, bitter & oily food items.

Wrong eating habits like eating fast or in a standin posture, excessive workout, sexual contact, over thinking or anxiety & exertion.

Improper Panchakarmas/detox methods may also lead to heart problems as per #Ayurveda. Hence always take an expert opinion for one.

Food like desi Cow milk, ghee, pomegranate, rock salt are said to be good for heart. One should include them in daily diet. #Ayurveda

Everyday meditation is found very effective reducing anxiety and mental stress resulting in lowering the heart disease risk. Meditate daily!
