Abstract

In the quest for optimizing cardiovascular health, contemporary research increasingly explores the potential benefits of traditional and natural medicinal modalities. This paper provides insights into the therapeutic avenues offered by traditional medicine systems and natural remedies in cardiovascular care. Incorporating knowledge from ancient healing traditions like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) alongside contemporary research on the efficacy of natural compounds, the paper aims to elucidate their cardiovascular effects. Specifically, it examines the impact of lifestyle modifications, dietary supplements, and botanical extracts on cardiovascular health. Synthesizing evidence from clinical trials, preclinical studies, and traditional knowledge systems, the paper underscores the importance of integrating traditional and natural medicine practices with conventional medical interventions. This integration is vital for enhancing our understanding and management of cardiovascular diseases, contributing to more effective preventive strategies and optimized therapeutic outcomes in cardiovascular medicine.
