Traditional Use and Health Benefits

According to Ayurveda, Arjuna is a “Herbal Hero for your Heart”. Supported by thousands of years of traditional use, primarily for cardiovascular health, the Arjuna herb subscribes to the “Doctrine of Signatures” which states that herbs resembling various parts of the body can be used by herbalists to treat ailments of those body parts.
The deep red coloring of the inner bark of the Terminalia Arjuna tree signifies the blood, and for many centuries traditional herbalists have used the bark as a circulation tonic for heart and blood pressure problems. Its root system also reflects the branching veins, arteries and capillaries of the circulatory system.
Much research has been done into this powerful herb in relation to the heart, and scientists are finding that there is truth in these ancient claims. Today, many cardiologists are even incorporating Arjuna into their protocols.

Herbo Natural ARJUNA Extract Capsule Benefits:

Heart Health
There are many aspects to the overall health of this most important organ, with Arjuna boosting heart function, protecting it from damage, and healing cardiac injury or trauma.
Arjuna contains many powerful antioxidants including gallic acid, ellagic acid, and oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs). These flavonoids, in particular the OPCs, have been found to protect the heart from damaging oxidative stress. Arjuna Extract Capsule increase in levels of superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione levels. This action provides protection against oxidative stress, with a particular affinity for heart tissue.
In Ayurveda, 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

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 in 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 the 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.

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 antioxidative activities and is especially indicated in the treatment of liver cirrhosis.
