What is the Heart?

Have you been feeling chest discomfort, shortness of breath, tiredness, a racing heart, dizziness, or less energy than usual? These symptoms might mean your heart needs some extra care.

Your heart is a powerful muscle that sends oxygen-rich blood all around your body. It brings oxygen and nutrients to your organs and tissues, and helps clear out waste. Taking care of your heart helps you stay energetic, active, and healthy.

Heart problems, also called cardiovascular diseases, change how your heart and blood vessels work. They often develop over time and can become serious if not managed. Common types include coronary artery disease, heart failure, irregular heartbeats, high blood pressure-related heart issues, and heart valve troubles.

At I'M Ayurveda, we know your heart health depends on many things, like your lifestyle, diet, stress, metabolism, activity, and overall wellness. Our holistic care looks at these main causes and helps you make positive changes.
