Arjuna is Charak Samhita's favorite herb for strengthening the heart.

It is able to strengthen the physical, emotional and vibrational heart, and these claims of Ayurveda have been verified in many scientific studies. It is a divine herb which strengthens the heart's connection with consciousness and enhances the supply of pranic energy to the heart.

The Sanskrit name, arjuna, literally means an everlasting vibration of "a" that never declines.  The sound, "a," in Sanskrit represents consciousness, and arjuna is full of this divine intelligence of nature.  In the physiology, the "a" value of life (or consciousness), is seated in the heart.  It is through the heart that the body is connected to the soul. Because the tree, arjuna, contains this "a" value in great abundance and is able to maintain it very well, it has the property of being hridya (good for the heart).   

Learn seven other prabhavas (special qualities) of arjuna in Vaidya Mishra's 21 minute audio lecture: Arjuna - Learn About the Best Herb for the Heart, available for instant download for $0.99.  You will also learn other names and physical properties of this divine herb.

This herb is also available in crude form, as a transdermal cream, and as a herbal memory nectar.

In Capsule form, you receive the physical properties (rasa, guna virya, vipak) of this herb as well as the prabhavas (special qualities). The transdermal cream and herbal memory nectar delivery systems of arjuna are necessary when you want to avoid the physical properties. For example, arjuna is a cardiac stimulant and is contra-indicated if you are using beta-blockers. But this is a physical property of arjuna, not a prabhava. When arjuna is delivered as a transdermal cream or a herbal memory nectar (which only deliver the prabhavas), the cardiac stimulant effect is greatly reduced.

But there are times when you need the physical properties of the herb. For example, arjuna is described in the Ayurvedic texts as vishasrajit (able to bind cardiac-specific toxins in the blood and get them out). To get the maximum value of this effect one needs to take the whole herb.

However, taking the herb in tablet form requires that your digestive and metabolic system (especially the liver) be quite clean and healthy. If there are toxins in your liver, they will corrupt the divine intelligence of arjuna and its good effects will be negligible. Also, arjuna is vata aggravating, so it should be used with caution under the direct supervision of a Shaka Vansya Ayurveda practitioner.
