An Ayurvedic cardioprotective botanical being used in Ayurveda since 2500 B.C. has remarkable cardioprotective, heart muscle strengthening properties. Arjuna bark has been used in Ayurvedic herbalism for more than three centuries to support a healthy heart. Today, scientific research is confirming arjuna’s benefits and providing the knowledge that enables development of highly effective arjuna formulations.
Arjun improves cardiac muscle function and pumping actions of the heart. Scientific studies have shown Arjun to be very effective when used regularly over a period of time for the treatment of angina, coronary artery disease, heart failure, edema, and possibly hypercholesterolemia. Studies have also shown Arjun to have positive effects in the treatment of gonorrhea. Externally, this herb has been used to treat acne, blemishes, wounds, dysentery, and diarrhea.
*Bark of Arjuna tree has been found to be rich in Co-enzyme Q-10 which is highly prescribed in cardiology departments now a days to prevent heart problems. High amounts of Co-enzyme Q-10 prevents incident of heart attacks. It also has a tonic effect in cases of cirrhosis of the liver. It induces a drug-dependent decrease in blood pressure and heart rate. It has been reported to possess protective cardiovascular and hypolipidemic properties.

ACTION:
- Reduces the effects of stress and nervousness on the heart
- Possesses diuretic and a general tonic effect in cases of liver cirrhosis
- Hypolipidemic: enhances the elimination of cholesterol by accelerating the turnover of LDL-cholesterol in the liver. Lowers beta-lipoprotein lipids and the recovery of HDL components in hyperlipidemia
- Cardiac stimulant: Strengthens the heart muscles and maintains the heart functioning properly.
- Promotes effective cardiac functioning by regulating blood pressure and cholesterol
- Relieves hypertension
Arjuna (TA) can help lower Cholesterol as much as 64% - After only 30 days, people taking TA saw their LDL levels plummet by an average of 25.6%. After 60 days, in animal studies lab subjects with extremely high blood fats, LDL levels dropped from 493 to 162. That's a whopping 64 percent drop. Plus, HDL cholesterol (the good stuff) actually increased.
Reduces angina episodes much better than nitroglycerin - More than 6.2 million Americans suffer from angina right now and most are probably taking nitroglycerin pills for it. But over time nitroglycerin can become less effective. Big problem. So researchers decided to test the herb Arjuna against nitroglycerin. It worked better in every study. In one study, angina episodes were cut in half by the Arjuna, with none of the nasty side effects. Plus, TA can be used as long as you like, without fear it'll stop working.
It's been shown to help reverse hardening of the arteries - Here's the most shocking fact of all: Although most Western doctors still haven't heard of it, Arjuna has been used by herbal healers in India to treat heart trouble for an incredible 2,700 years. Nearly three millennia!

The bark of Arjuna tree is a cardiac stimulant and has a cooling and tonic effect. It is useful in arresting secretion or bleeding. It helps to relieve fever. It is also useful in removing calculi or stones formed in the urinary system, in promoting flow of bile and in the healing of wounds.
The bark and preparation made from it are known to have a marked stimulant action on the heart. The practitioners of Indian systems of medicine use it in conditions of cardiac failure and dropsy. As a heart stimulant, either a decoction of the thick portion of the bark made with milk should be taken every morning on an empty stomach or its powder, in 1 to 2 grams doses should be used with milk and jaggery.
In Ayurveda, ischemic heart disease (IHD) is known as Hridroga. There are five clinical descriptions of IHD according to Ayurveda based on vitiated doshas and other causes. If the pain is acute and has a shifting nature, it is known as vata heart disease. If it is associated with a burning sensation, it is called pitta heart disease. If the pain is mild and is associated with heaviness, nausea, and cough, it is called kapha heart disease. If all the representative symptoms are present, then it is identified as tridosha heart disease.
In Ayurveda, kapha (hardening of arteries) is the major underlying mechanism of heart diseases.
Various studies have demonstrated the heart protective action of Arjuna. The effect of Terminalia arjuna on angina pectoris (chest pain) and congestive heart failure (where the heart cannot pump enough blood to various organs) was studied in 10 patients with ischaemic heart disease and/or myocardial infarction. Administration of Terminalia arjuna improved the left ventricular ejection fraction (which determines the heart’s efficiency) in patients4.
In another randomised, double-blind study, 58 males with chronic stable angina (NYHA class II-III) received either Terminalia arjuna or isosorbide mononitrate or a matching placebo. There was improvement in clinical and treadmill exercise parameters in both groups compared to placebo therapy. These benefits were similar to those observed with isosorbide mononitrate therapy and the extract of Arjuna was well tolerated5.
The heart protective actions of Terminalia arjuna are due to its potent antioxidant and cholesterol-reducing activity.
In a study on 105 patients, it was found that patients on Arjuna had a significant reduction in the total and low-density lipoprotein (bad) cholesterol, along with enzymes responsible for initiating oxidative stress6.

Antigenotoxic properties of Terminalia arjuna bark extracts.
J Environ Pathol Toxicol Oncol. 1999;18(2):119-25.
Compounds possessing antimutagenic properties (polyphenols, tannins, vitamins, etc.) have been identified in fruits, vegetables, spices, and medicinal plants. Terminalia arjuna (Combretaceae), a tropical woody tree occurring throughout India and known locally as Kumbuk, is a medicinal plant rich in tannins and triterpenes that is used extensively in Ayurvedic medicine as a cardiac tonic. The aim of the present collaborative work was to test six solvent extracts from the bark of Terminalia arjuna for antigenotoxic activity using in vitro short-term tests. Terminalia arjuna extracts were obtained by sequential extraction using acetone, methanol, methanol + HCl, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and ethyl ether.
Terminalia arjuna reverses impaired endothelial function in chronic smokers.
Indian Heart J. 2004 Mar-Apr;56(2):123-8.
Smoking, largely through increased oxidative stress, causes endothelial dysfunction which is an early key event in atherosclerosis. The present study was aimed to determine whether Terminalia arjuna, an Indian medicinal plant with potent antioxidant constituents, would improve endothelial dysfunction in smokers. Eighteen healthy male smokers and equal number of age-matched non-smoker controls participated in the study. The baseline brachial artery reactivity studies were performed to determine endothelium-dependent, flow-mediated dilation and endothelium-independent nitroglycerine-mediated dilation. Subsequently the smokers were given Terminalia arjuna (500 mg q8h) or matching placebo randomly in a double blind cross-over design for two weeks each, followed by repetition of brachial artery reactivity studies. There was no significant difference as regards vessel diameter and flow velocities between the two therapies. However, the flow-mediated dilation showed significant improvement from baseline values after Terrminalia arjuna therapy but not with placebo. CONCLUSIONS: Smokers have impaired endothelium-dependent but normal endothelium-independent vasodilation as determined by brachial artery reactivity studies. Further, Terrminalia arjuna therapy for two weeks
Terminalia arjuna (Roxb.) protects rabbit heart against ischemic-reperfusion injury: role of antioxidant enzymes and heat shock protein.
J Ethnopharmacol. 2005 Jan 15;96(3):403-9.
The bark of Terminalia arjuna Roxb. is widely recommended for the treatment of ischemic heart disease (IHD) in Indian system of medicine. Oral administration of Terminalia arjuna for 12 weeks in rabbits caused augmentation of myocardial antioxidants; superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione (GSH) along with induction of heat shock protein72 (HSP72). In vivo ischemic-reperfusion injury induced oxidative stress, tissue injury of heart and haemodynamic effects were prevented in the Terminalia arjuna treated rabbit hearts. The study provides scientific basis for the putative therapeutic effect of Terminalia arjuna in ischemic heart disease.
