Ischemic Heart Disease Treatment, Nagpur at Parijatak Ayurveda
The word ‘ischaemic’ implies reduced blood supply. Ischaemic heart disease means a decrease in blood supply to the heart muscles, Ischemic Heart Disease and Ayurveda Treatment. Coronary arteries are the main supplier of blood to the cardiac muscles. Ischemic heart disease is mainly caused by atherosclerosis or the deposition of cholesterol into arteries which leads to the reduced blood supply to heart muscles caused by the narrowing of arteries. This results in the death of heart muscles, tissues resulting in heart failure or heart attack.
Ischemic Heart Disease- What Are the Consequences?
The heart is the main organ of the circulatory system present in our body which supplies blood to all other organs. Any defect in heart immediately impairs the supply of oxygen to the vital organs of our body viz., kidney, liver, brain, leading to the death of tissues in that organ. This is followed by functional failure of that organ.

Ayurvedic Perception of Ischemic Heart Disease
The heart is mulsthan of rasavah strotas; rasa dhatu is formed from the gastric juices. Vitiated rasa dhatu goes into the heart and causes blockages of small channels resulting in Ischemic Heart Disease. Rasa dhatu gets impaired by improper functioning of the digestive system (known as mandagni in Ayurveda) due to overindulgence in eating and stress.
The heart is also the site of sadhak pitta, the subdosha of Pitta that is linked with the processing of emotions. Sadhak pitta needs to be balanced for better emotional health. Avalmbaka kapha found in chest takes care of blood circulation and respiration. Prana vayu is responsible for Rasa – rakta sanhanam, which means blood circulation. Hence, when we talk about ischemic heart disease we have to think about all above dhatus.
