Arjuna

Let me tell you about Arjuna. It’s not just another herbal supplement on the shelf; in my two decades of practicing integrative cardiology, it’s one of the few botanicals that consistently makes me pause and reconsider the hard line between conventional pharmacotherapy and phytomedicine. We’re talking about Terminalia arjuna, the bark of this massive, sacred tree native to the Indian subcontinent. Its history in Ayurveda stretches back millennia, primarily as a hridya—a cardiac tonic.
