I understand your concern regarding heart valve leakage, also known as mitral regurgitation. In Ayurvedic medicine, Terminalia arjuna, commonly referred to as Arjuna bark, has been traditionally utilized to support cardiovascular health. Research indicates that Arjuna bark possesses properties that may benefit heart function. A study involving patients with ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) following acute myocardial infarction demonstrated that those receiving Arjuna exhibited a significant decrease in IMR and improvement in related cardiac parameters.
Arjuna's therapeutic effects are attributed to its ability to enhance cardiac muscle function, improve coronary artery flow, and provide antioxidant benefits. However, it's crucial to recognize that while Arjuna may offer supportive benefits, it should not replace conventional treatments prescribed by your cardiologist.â
