Cardiovascular Disease Treatment

The leading cause of death across the world is Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) which describes all conditions and diseases that directly involve the heart and blood vessels. Those that fall into this category include:

Coronary heart disease
Heart attack
Heart failure
Stroke

In Ayurvedic medicine, the heart is one of the three main vital organs of the human body. It lays the foundations of our consciousness and emotions. The heart also houses Ojas (vital fluid), which provides life and keeps us filled with strength and vitality.

Those people most susceptible to heart disease have the following risk factors:

High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Obesity
Physical inactivity
Low fruit and vegetable intake
High alcohol and smoking

Ayurvedic medicine applies a holistic approach to good heart health, looking towards and treating the cause of the heart problems instead of the symptoms alone. At Sukhavati, we endeavour to treat all cardiovascular disorders including:

High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Recovery from a heart attack and stroke
Arrhythmias, palpitations, tachycardia and vascular spasm

Our treatment methods are founded upon our principle approach of cleansing and rejuvenation, incorporating a vegetarian diet, Ayurvedic herbs, meditation, yoga, oil massage, heat therapies and other specialised treatments that promote heart health.

Key elements of our program involve:

Practitioners of Ayurvedic medicine believe that at the core of all heart conditions is an emotional component such as fear, anxiety, anger or repressed emotions.

When combined with everyday internal and external pressures, these emotions add further physiological stress to the body. If a person is struggling to detach themselves from the stressors of their everyday lives, they can develop to the point of being chronic and the person becomes increasingly vulnerable to CVD risk factors. What we therefore aim to do at Sukhavati is provide our guests with constructive ways to let go of these toxic emotions and in doing so reduce the likelihood of CVD related illnesses.

One of the most effective methods of preventing and enjoying relief from anxiety is with meditation. Medical School Researchers at the University of Massachusetts taught mindfulness to a group of people with clinical anxiety and found that 90% experienced significant reductions in anxiety and depression following meditational practices.

Our Meditation course is a 4-Day Program (one hour per day) and is taught at Sukhavati, Bali during your program. The Ayurvedic Program does not include the cost of learning to meditate and to learn we recommend you discuss and organise this with our reservations officer, before checking in. If you would like to enquire about learning to meditate during your time at Sukhavati, please speak with one of our reservation officers today.

At Sukhavati, we abide by a plant-based diet which is anti-inflammatory in nature and incorporates lots of dark leafy greens, mung beans, fresh herbs like mint and coriander, whole grains such as Basmati rice and quinoa, and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower. Sweet tropical fruits also help dampen the heat of inflammation.

Also highly important to the Sukhavati diet are Ginger and turmeric, thanks largely to their highly concentrated anti-inflammatory properties.

Regular aerobic exercise is beneficial to our health and wellness on many levels. Not only does it keep the heart healthy and the circulatory system consistently pumping blood throughout the body, but it also keeps the channels clear and the mood happy.

While you stay at Sukhavati, you will enjoy many opportunities to get physically active, with morning walks through the local village, bike rides, and twice daily yoga for cardiovascular health.

A study co-authored by health expert, Deepak Chopra, has shown that Ayurvedic Panchakarma intervention can lower the risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

In the experimental group, 65 healthy male and female subjects participated in a Panchakarma-based Ayurvedic intervention which included herbs, vegetarian diet, meditation, yoga and massage. A control group of 54 did simple relaxation techniques.

The researchers found that those who were on the Ayurvedic program displayed a significant decrease in blood-based metabolites associated with inflammation, cardiovascular disease risk and cholesterol regulation, compared to the control group.
