Heart Health

There are many health aspects to this most important organ. Arjuna can address some of these by boosting heart function, protecting it from damage and healing cardiac injury and trauma. In many animal model studies, Arjuna extract has shown to reverse the damage to heart muscle.

Arjuna contains many powerful antioxidants including gallic acid, ellagic acid and oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC’s). These flavonoids, in particular the OPC’s, have been found to protect the heart from damaging oxidative stress. Furthermore, Arjuna bark influences an increase in levels of superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione levels. This action provides protection against oxidative stress, with a particular affinity for heart tissue.

Recently, two new cardenolide cardiac glycosides were isolated from the roots and seeds of Arjuna. The main action of these cardenolides is to increase the force of cardiac contraction (the force with which the heart pumps blood around the body - a strong and steady heartbeat is a good indicator of a healthy heart).

In Ayruveda, Arjuna is used as a lymph tonic for the heart. It is understood that when the lymph system around the heart gets congested it affects the ability of the heart to pump in a healthy way. Arjuna works specifically to keep the lymph moving and draining around the heart which encourages healthy arterial blood flow and healthy muscular contractions.

Angina- Pain in the Heart

Angina is pain that happens when the heart does not get enough oxygen. Whilst the pain is most commonly experienced in the chest, it may also occur in the shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back. It is usually a symptom of coronary heart disease (CHD), which happens when blood vessels to the heart become narrow or blocked. Angina usually occurs when the heart is working hard, such as during exercise, but it can also occur at random.

In a one week, double blind placebo controlled study of 58 individuals, Arjuna was found to reduce the frequency of angina attacks by 50 percent or more in patients taking 200mg – 500mg of Arjuna extract daily. It was more effective than the placebo and approximately as effective as the standard pharmaceutical medication for this condition.

A subsequent three month study compared the effectiveness of Arjuna against a placebo in 40 people with a recent heart attack. All the participants in this study suffered from a particular complication of a heart attack called ischaemic mitral regurgitation. The results showed that use of this herb improved heart function and reduced angina symptoms.

Gut Health

Arjuna benefits the delicate gut system by helping to strengthen and maintain the integrity of gastric mucosa (the lining of the stomach). This is important as it defends against acid attacks which can lead to heartburn, and explains why many traditional communities use Arjuna bark as an antacid and digestive tonic.

This versatile herb also has strong antibacterial qualities, making it particularly effective against helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori), a well known bacteria that can live in the digestive tract and cause ulcers, gastritis and other stomach infections.

The gastroprotective effect of AArjuna is related to its ability to maintain the membrane integrity by its antilipid peroxidative activity that protects the gastric mucosa against oxidative damage and its ability to strengthen the mucosal barrier, the first line of defense against exogenous and endogenous ulcerogenic agents.

Liver and Kidney Health

The powerful antioxidants found in Arjuna also work to improve liver and kidney function, helping these organs to flush toxins out of the body whilst encouraging bile production (in the liver). It protects the liver and kidneys by increasing anti-oxidative activities and is especially indicated in the treatment of liver cirrhosis.

Fatty Liver

Arjuna is a potent ingredient with hepatoprotective properties that improve liver health efficiently. Arjunolic Acid (AA) is capable of reducing steatosis (fatty liver disease). When taken with another powerful ingredient called Milk Thistle, it becomes a great medicine for liver detox.
