Ayurveda see the heart as more than just a pump. It also views the heart as the seat of our emotional life. Mental and emotional stress can disrupt the heart, just as much as physical strain or poor food choices.
Maharishi Ayurveda has a number of preparations that promote heart health both on the physical and the emotional levels.
By aiding healthy digestion and by balancing fat metabolism, some Maharishi Ayurveda preparations help maintain normal and clear arterial walls. Others balance the three subdoshas within the heart that govern: emotional balance, stability, strength, and sense of security; as well as blood flow and regular heartbeat.
