Frequently Asked Questions
-
A myocardial infarction (heart attack) is a life-threatening emergency: call your emergency number (such as 911, 999, or 112) immediately, and do not delay or look for home or herbal remedies. While waiting, keep the person calm and at rest and follow the operator's instructions. Ayurveda has no role in treating a heart attack. Fast emergency medical care is what saves lives, so every minute counts.

Acting quickly on the signs is critical.
- Chest pain, pressure, or tightness, possibly spreading to the arm, jaw, neck, or back.
- Shortness of breath, cold sweat, nausea, or light-headedness.
- Symptoms can be subtler in women and people with diabetes.
- If in doubt, call emergency services without delay.
-
No. A heart attack and the underlying heart disease are serious medical matters needing emergency care and ongoing treatment from doctors and cardiologists. Ayurveda does not treat or prevent heart attacks. A heart-healthy lifestyle supports general wellbeing but is not a substitute for medical assessment, prescribed treatment, and monitoring of heart risk factors like blood pressure and cholesterol.
-
Alongside medical care, a heart-healthy lifestyle matters.
- Eat more vegetables, fibre, and healthy fats; cut salt, fried, and processed food.
- Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy weight.
- Avoid smoking and limit alcohol.
- Manage blood pressure, cholesterol, and stress with your doctor.
-
Anyone with heart disease or heart-attack risk must consult their doctor before taking any herb or supplement, since several interact with heart, blood-pressure, and blood-thinning medicines, and they must never replace prescribed treatment. Use any wellness product only as general support, with your doctor's knowledge. For the heart, the priorities are medical care, prescribed treatment, and calling for emergency help when needed.
