In Ayurveda, cardiomegaly is linked to imbalances in the Vata, Pitta, and Kapha Doshas, which govern circulation, metabolism, and structural stability. Aggravated Vata affects the nervous system and blood flow, Pitta causes inflammation, and Kapha contributes to tissue thickening. Ayurvedic treatments focus on restoring doshic balance, detoxifying the heart, and improving cardiovascular function for long-term relief.

Herbs like Arjuna, Ashwagandha, Guggulu, and Brahmi help strengthen the heart, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation naturally. - Detoxification (Shodhana):
