Heart & Metabolic Care

Garlic · Lahsun

Allium sativum

Lahsun is a traditional heart-care botanical used in Ayurvedic wellness recipes.

Medicinal & Wellness Uses

  • Heart-care tradition: Widely used in Ayurvedic preparations for cardiovascular wellbeing.
  • Blood-fat metabolism: Specific oral garlic preparations are used in cholesterol-focused wellness care; the preparation and directions are important.

Standalone Use vs. Formulated Use

Using the Herb Alone

Raw cloves, cooked garlic, powders and aged extracts differ. Processing changes garlic’s sulphur compounds, so their weights are not equivalent.

How Our Formulation Combines Ingredients

Lahsun complements Arjuna and the other named ingredients in the oral heart-wellness recipe. Its composition is read as part of the whole product.

Ask your clinician before using garlic supplements with aspirin, blood-thinning medicines or before surgery, because they can increase bleeding risk. Continue prescribed heart and blood-pressure care.

READING THIS GUIDE

The source.
The preparation.

Plant photographs show a botanical source. The root, leaf, fruit, oil or extract on a product label may differ from the part photographed. Mineral photographs show the raw source material, not a processed bhasma or pishti.

Blends and formulation helpers use labelled illustrations. Where a name or identity needs confirmation, the guide says so. Ingredient descriptions are educational; use preparations as directed by a qualified physician.

Source photographs are hosted by Wikimedia Commons and need an internet connection. Open “Sources & photo credit” on a card for the original image and reuse licence.
