🌿 What is Arjun Chaal?
Arjun Chaal, or Arjuna bark, comes from the Terminalia arjuna tree found across India. In Ayurveda, it is classified as a Hridaya (heart tonic) that strengthens the heart muscles, lowers bad cholesterol (LDL), and enhances oxygen supply to the heart tissues. It also supports digestion, blood purification, and detoxification.

Arjun Chaal tea is a traditional way of using this bark, extracted slowly by boiling to release its active compounds.

🌿 Dirghaanshi Tip: Make It a Ritual
At Dirghaanshi, we believe in the power of turning wellness into a mindful ritual. Drinking Arjun Chaal tea daily can become a powerful self-care practice, just like yoga or meditation. Here’s how to make it special:

Prepare your tea in a dedicated earthen pot or brass vessel for traditional energy

Set an intention for heart and body healing before sipping

Pair with 5 minutes of deep breathing for enhanced cardiovascular benefit

📚 Scientific Backing
Several studies have confirmed the cardiovascular and antioxidant properties of Terminalia arjuna:

A study in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology found that Arjun bark extract significantly improved left ventricular function in patients with heart disease.

Clinical trials in India showed that daily consumption of Arjuna bark lowered cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Research also supports its ability to reduce angina attacks and improve ECG parameters.
