• D. Arjuna 5, Dashamula 3, Guggulu 2, Pushkarmula 1

Answer: (A)

In vata-dominant heart disease, the aim is to calm vata while strengthening the heart tissue. Dashamula provides a strong vata-pacifying foundation, addressing the dry, constricted qualities of vata that can affect the chest and heart. Arjuna is a classic cardiac tonic known for supporting heart muscle function and offering antioxidant support, which helps protect the heart. Yogaraj Guggulu adds further heart-supportive and anti-inflammatory action while aiding circulation, and Pushkarmula contributes direct heart-tonifying effects to relieve chest discomfort. The ratio of five parts Dashamula, four parts Arjuna, three parts Yogaraj Guggulu, and two parts Pushkarmula reflects prioritizing vata balance with robust heart nourishment. Other options mix herbs with broader rasayana, diuretic, or digestive actions that aren’t as targeted to a vata-driven hridaya condition.
