Description
Arjuna Bark (Terminalia arjuna) is a traditional Ayurvedic tree bark used for cardiovascular maintenance. It provides triterpenoids, flavonoids, and tannins that support myocardial efficiency, vascular tone, and endothelial function. Arjuna bark helps stabilize heart rhythm under stress and promotes comfortable blood pressure responses. Arjuna bark also supports lipid balance and exercise tolerance by assisting cellular antioxidant defenses. Long employed in classical formulations, Arjuna bark remains a food-derived botanical valued for everyday heart resilience and circulatory wellness.
