They dust the arjuna bark powder over such wounds/ulcers if oozing (secretion) is present.
Diabetes, athralgia
4. Arjuna remedy for diabetes, arthralgia:
Arjuna
Asana – Pterocarpus marsupium and
Bilva – bael tree barks are collected in equal quantity and fine powder is made.
3-4 pinch (say approximately 2-3 grams) of this powder is given in an empty stomach along with a cup of water for the treatment of Type II DM associated with peripheral neuritis or numbness.
Hridaya (heart) is the site of manas(mind) according to Ayurveda.Whenever the mind is disturbed whole body is agitated and the mental pleasure is ruined away.Arjuna was disturbed by the conditions of the war field in Kukshetra. Probably with the symbolic representation how Arjuna was strengthened well by Lord Krishna, similarly this tree Arjuna is useful to regularize the cardiac functions and hence to attain peace, pleasure, satisfaction and happiness.

Excellent article. At the end a himalaya product “Arjuna” is exhibited. Does this contain the ingredient mentioned in your article and is it qualitatively good ?
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)
Because it can lower blood pressure and blood sugar levels, people on medication for BP and diabetes need to take precaution to avoid over-dosing. There are no other downsides with this wonder herb.
If someone is not diabetic or hypertensive, then he can take Arjuna for a short period of one month.

Hi..thanks for all the posts.. I was diagnosed with bicuspid aortic valve 2 years back and started taking metoprolol. Sometimes I used to take ramipril as well and those English medicines caused too much of anxiety, depression, and used to make me very tiered. I suffered a lot and lost all hopes..I used to go to cardiologist many times but my dizziness used to continue during evening times. Thanks to google. Bought a bottle of arjunarishta from Dabur and started taking mild dosage.. It started working.. Since 4 days of the treatment, my dizziness during evenings has reduced a lot and I am able to concentrate more with my usual work. I am greatful to almighty Dhanvantri, lord of ayurveda. I am still taking mild dosage of metoprolol.. Some how I want to stop the junk metoprolol. If anybody can assist, I will be very greatful.

Is Arjuna effective as a cardiotonic if I just mix the powder with milk or water without boiling it and also if I don’t strain it? I find it very hard to strain due to the powder being so fine. It plugs up the cheese cloth. Is there a better solution? I have even just added a tsp to a smoothie. is this ok to obtain the benefits? Thank you so much for your assistance.
