In this way, it ensures that the lifeblood flows well again and the circulation is stabilized.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, it helps to avoid edema and is used to <a href=\"https:\/\/sonnhof-ayurveda.at\/en\/uncategorized-en-us\/ayurveda-for-high-blood-pressure-causes-therapies-with-european-ayurveda\/\"><strong>lower high blood pressure<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Wound-Healing Properties of Arjuna<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tree is also highly valued for its wound-healing abilities. For example, Arjuna can be applied locally as a paste to wounds and ulcers, as it <strong>acts as a styptic and supports healing<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the bark extract is also effective for bone fractures. Due to its astringent properties, it promotes a <strong>healthy knitting of the bones.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Arjuna for Skin Diseases<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tree can also unfold its full effect for various <a href=\"https:\/\/sonnhof-ayurveda.at\/en\/uncategorized-en-us\/ayurveda-for-neurodermatitis-holistic-help-for-healthier-skin\/\">skin diseases<\/a>. In particular, <strong>complaints such as<\/strong> <strong>itching or conjunctivitis<\/strong> are relieved by local application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leukoderma, the loss of skin pigment, can also be treated supportively with it.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arjuna: Balm for the Heart<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to all these positive effects, the tree <strong>has a very special significance for the heart in Ayurveda<\/strong>. Due to its strengthening and healing properties, Arjuna has always been used as a heart tonic in Indian medicine. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The heart is the expression of life, as it is a <strong>vital organ and simultaneously the center of our emotions<\/strong>. In Ayurveda, the heart is additionally the seat of consciousness, spiritual values, and mental abilities. It can also be particularly addressed through <a href=\"https:\/\/sonnhof-ayurveda.at\/en\/uncategorized-en-us\/heart-meditation-open-your-heart\/\">heart meditation<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, it is particularly important that the heart is well and strong enough to keep us in our mental and physical center. Arjuna has a particularly beneficial effect on the heart and has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years for cardiac dysfunction (1). <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/sonnhof-ayurveda.at\/en\/ayurveda-cures-programs\/ayurveda-retreats\/balance-cures\/\" style=\"background-color:#c0908f\">Discover the Balance Cures at Sonnhof now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It <strong>strengthens<\/strong> <strong>both the emotional and the physical heart<\/strong> and fortifies the heart muscle. This reduces the frequency of heartbeats while simultaneously increasing the stroke volume. In other words: the heart needs <strong>fewer heartbeats, but beats with particular strength.<\/strong> This extends the heart&#8217;s relaxation period and naturally relieves the muscle (4).  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The heart also connects the body with the soul. Ayurveda recognizes this special relationship and therefore also uses the medicinal plant for emotional burdens. The powder is said to help heal broken hearts and provides strength and courage to draw <a href=\"https:\/\/sonnhof-ayurveda.at\/en\/uncategorized-en-us\/more-energy-in-everyday-life-how-to-increase-your-daily-energy-levels\/\">new vitality<\/a>. For this reason, <strong>Arjuna is attributed a particularly life-promoting effect<\/strong>.   <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Arjuna Have Side Effects?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In principle, <strong>no specific side effects of the powder have been<\/strong> <strong>proven <\/strong>(2). However, if you suffer from heart problems, an additional consultation with a doctor is still recommended. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Always adhere to the recommended dose when taking it. Since there is still little research on the intake of Arjuna during pregnancy, you should <strong>avoid it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if in doubt.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:#ede9e8\">\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Caution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should only take dietary supplements after consultation with your doctor.
