Ayurvedic Heart Dhara is a specialised Ayurvedic therapy that is used to improve the health and function of the heart. It involves the application of warm herbal oil or decoctions to the chest, where the heart is located, in a continuous stream.

During a Heart Dhara therapy, the patient lies on their back, while warm oil or herbal decoction is poured over the chest in a continuous stream for a specific period of time. The oil or decoction is typically chosen based on the individual’s dosha, or body type, and specific health concerns.

The continuous stream of warm oil or decoction is believed to help improve circulation to the heart, reduce inflammation, and improve the overall health and function of the cardiovascular system. It may also help to reduce stress and anxiety, which can have a positive impact on heart health.
