HERBS & REMEDIES
How Can This Ayurvedic Product Make You Feel Great?AYURVEDIC ANALYSISArjuna is a traditional rejuvenative and tonic for the heart. It regulates blood pressure, heart rate, and muscle tone. It improves circulation, maintains healthy cholesterol, and reduces inflammation. Arjuna strengthens skin & vessels, and improves their elasticity. It is thus a potent herb to reduce atherosclerosis and anti-aging. Topically, it speeds the healing process of wounds, including diabetic ulcers and fractures. Its circulation improving, anti-inflammatory and astringent qualities clear acne and UTI infections. It especially reduces oxidation in the liver (hepatoprotective). Its astringency can help with menorrhagia and spermatorrhea. Arjuna is traditionally used to promote emotional balance. It is said to mend a 'broken heart' and to impart courage and strengthen the will. As a cold, astringent blood mover, Arjuna is similar to Manjistha. However, it is more astringent than Manjistha. While Manjistha has affinity for the female reproductive tract, Arjuna is a heart tonic. Arjuna reduces Kapha in the lungs. SUGGESTED USE
