Arjuna is a great warrior and one of the five heroic brothers in this epic tale, and many people consider him to be the most important character.1 Centuries ago, the herb arjuna was given a name befitting its traditional role of protecting the heart, much like its mythological namesake brought fortitude, strength, and protection to his family in battle.2 Thankfully, arjuna has no problem living up to its illustrious name.
The Heart of the Matter
You know the history, you know the botanical characteristics, so what can arjuna do for you? As it turns out, arjuna’s uses are numerous. As we’ve stated, arjuna is one of the quintessential Ayurvedic herbs for the heart; excellent for all manners of heart imbalances. It strengthens and tones the circulatory system, rejuvenates the soft tissues, and promotes proper function of the heart muscle.6 These properties support the maintenance of healthy cholesterol levels, blood pressure values, and proper coagulation in the blood. On an emotional level, arjuna has also been traditionally used to promote emotional balance for those experiencing grief and sadness. It is said to give courage, strengthen the will, and fortify the heart to accomplish our goals.7 Furthermore, arjuna has been said to act energetically on the heart chakra, increasing prema bhakti (love and devotion).8 It’s easy to see why arjuna has been the foremost Ayurvedic rejuvenative for the heart for thousands of years—its traditional use has even inspired scientific research confirming its historical value
Beyond its heart-balancing traits, arjuna’s astringent, bitter, and slightly pungent qualities make it useful in other areas of the body as well. It has a cooling influence on the physiology, pacifying both pitta and kapha, but provoking to vata if used in excess. It can help alleviate excess kapha in the lungs, due to its affinity for the chest.10 Ayurvedic practitioners have recommended arjuna for digestive imbalances, to improve gallbladder and liver function,11 and for use topically to clear pitta inflammation from the skin.12 And it’s even been used traditionally to strengthen bones and support healthy bone density.13 With such a list of benefits, it’s no wonder arjuna is revered so highly; heroic indeed.
