AYURVEDIC PRESPECTIVE
Heart is called Hridya in ayurveda. The name is made up of two words, 'Hru' which indicates one which draws blood and 'Da' which means to give away. It's name itself indicates it's importance. It circulates rasa and rakta in body by the dual action of collecting and supply, thus giving it the name hridya and it is the fundamental function of the heart. According to ayurveda, the heart originates from the essence of rakta and kapha which is mainly from maternal side and develops into a muscular organ. Heart's movements are under the influence of vyana vayu. It can be roughly guessed that pericardium is developed from meda, myocardium is developed from mamsa dhatu and endocardium from rasa and rakta. If there is retention of vitiated rasa and rakta which is circulated in the endocardium it may gradually develop valvular inflammation which in due course turns to another state of infection. So, the treatment aims fundamentally to correct the imbalanced vata, rasa, rakta and mamsa.
