In Ayurveda, heart failure is associated with imbalances in the Vata, Pitta, and Kapha Doshas. An aggravated Vata affects the rhythm and pumping action of the heart, Pitta imbalance leads to inflammation, and Kapha contributes to fluid retention and sluggish circulation. Ayurvedic treatments aim to detoxify the heart, restore balance, and rejuvenate the cardiovascular system for sustainable recovery.
