Benefits
A unique herb that helps you maintain a healthy heart and reduces the
effects of stress and nervousness. Arjuna promotes effective cardiac functioning
and regulates blood pressure. It tones your heart. |
It reduces the level of triglycerides and cholesterol and has been reported
to enhance the synthesis of LDL-apoprotein (apoB). It inhibits the oxidation
of LDL and accelerates the turnover of LDL-cholesterol in liver. This enhances
the elimination of cholesterol from the body. The suppression of hepatic
cholesterol biosynthesis by Terminalia arjuna is the mechanism responsible
for a significant lowering of beta-lipoprotein lipids and the recovery
of HDL components in hyperlipidemia.
In a study on the efficacy of the bark powder in treating congestive
cardiac failure (CCF), over 40% of the cases showed marked improvement.
CCF due to congenital anomaly of heart and valve disease was also brought
under control. 4 out of 9 cases of CCF due to chronic bronchitis were also
relieved by the treatment. Arjuna relieved symptomatic complaints of essential
hypertension viz. giddiness, insomnia, lassitude, headache and the inability
to concentrate. Oral administration of an aqueous suspension of the bark
powder reduces coagulation, bleeding and prothrombin time.
