  • Abstract:
  • Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a primary cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, disproportionately affecting aging populations. This study systematically reviews the Phyto therapeutic potential of select Ayurvedic herbs, including Terminalia arjuna, Withania somnifera, Commiphora mukul, Ocimum sanctum, Bacopa monnieri, Allium sativum, Hibiscus sabdariffa, and Boerhavia diffusa, in managing cardiovascular health in elderly patients. These herbs are noted for their various therapeutic attributes, such as lipid modulation, antihypertensive effects, antioxidative properties, and stress reduction. Despite the traditional usage and emerging scientific backing of these herbs, rigorous clinical validation remains sparse, particularly concerning their mechanisms of action and long-term safety profiles. The literature study employed a meticulous search strategy across multiple databases, synthesizing data from peer-reviewed articles focused on the use of these herbs in elderly populations. Results from thematic analysis reveal consistent trends: Terminalia arjuna and Commiphora mukul significantly improve lipid profiles, while Allium sativum and Hibiscus sabdariffa are effective in reducing blood pressure. Furthermore, Withania somnifera and Bacopa monnieri exhibit adaptogenic and antioxidative capacities that contribute to cardiovascular resilience. Quantitative analysis supports these findings, highlighting notable reductions in cholesterol levels and blood pressure across several clinical trials. This study recommends further interdisciplinary research to facilitate the integration of Ayurvedic herbs into contemporary cardiovascular treatment paradigms, thereby enhancing the quality of life in aging populations through culturally resonant and accessible healthcare solutions.
