Arjunarishta (455 ml) - Baidyanath

Arjunarishta, also known as Parthadyarista, is a well-known Ayurvedic formulation primarily used for supporting cardiovascular health. It's a liquid/syrup made from the fermented extract of 

 (Arjuna) and other natural ingredients, including Dhataki flowers, Madhuka, and Jaggery. 

• Heart health support: It's considered a cardiac tonic that strengthens heart muscles, improves circulation, and helps regulate blood pressure. Studies suggest it may help reduce chest pain (angina) and can be beneficial in conditions like congestive heart failure and high cholesterol.
• Cholesterol management: Arjunarishta may help lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels by removing accumulated bad cholesterol, according to 1mg.
• Respiratory health: It's believed to help balance Kapha and remove excess mucus from the lungs, potentially providing relief from asthma symptoms.
• Digestive aid: Its Deepan (appetizer) and Pachan (digestive) properties may help with digestion and absorption of nutrients. 

• Typically, 15-20ml (or 4 teaspoons/20ml) can be taken once or twice a day, preferably after meals, mixed with an equal amount of lukewarm water to dilute the taste.
• It's generally considered well-tolerated when taken in the recommended dosage. However, it's crucial to consult with an Ayurvedic physician for personalized dosage and to ensure it's appropriate for your individual needs. 

• People with diabetes should exercise caution and consult a doctor before using Arjunarishta due to its jaggery content.
• Pregnant and breastfeeding women should also consult with a doctor before using Arjunarishta as there are no safety studies available for its usage in these groups.
• Potential side effects, though generally mild, can include gastrointestinal discomfort, headaches, body aches, and constipation.
• Overdosing can lead to side effects like abdominal pain, vomiting, indigestion, dizziness, and drowsiness. In animal studies, excessive intake of arjuna extract (a key component) has been linked to potential liver and thyroid issues.
• Arjunarishta may interact with blood pressure or heart medications, so it's essential to consult a healthcare provider before using it if you are taking any allopathic medicines.
