Give Your Heart the Strength to Heal Itself Without Surgery

Sampoorna Hruday Shuddhikaran, or SHS, means complete purification of the heart. It is Madhavbaug’s proprietary cardiac protocol, developed over 20 years of clinical practice, and the foundation for heart disease care.

The protocol brings together Panchakarma for heart disease, advanced cardiac procedures, a personalised diet, and herbal medicines into one coordinated plan. Each component is selected after reviewing the patient’s diagnosis, test results, and disease stage. No two patients receive the same protocol.

The Panchakarma therapies used in SHS are:

• Snehan (Oil Therapy)
  Warm medicated oil is applied using centripetal strokes directed toward the heart, improving venous blood return, reducing cardiac workload, and supporting peripheral circulation.
• Swedan (Steam Therapy)
  Medicated herbal steam helps open up blood vessels, reduces fluid and salt retention, and improves blood supply to the heart, benefiting patients with fluid buildup and breathlessness.
• Hrudy Dhara (Cardiac Drip Therapy)
  Warm medicated liquid is poured in a slow, continuous stream over the chest, relaxing respiratory muscles, reducing chest tension, and promoting local vasodilation that improves blood supply to those muscles.
• Basti (Herbal Enema)
  A cardiac-specific medicated preparation delivered rectally, bypassing the digestive tract for direct absorption into the bloodstream, allowing faster action that strengthens the heart muscle’s contractile function.

Madhavbaug’s proprietary Ayurvedic formulations are prescribed alongside existing cardiac medications. The treating doctor selects each formulation based on the patient’s specific diagnosis and disease stage, ensuring the right combination for the right condition at the right time.

None of these formulations carries side effects, and existing medications are never altered suddenly. Any changes happen strictly under clinical supervision, adjusted gradually as the heart responds to treatment over time.

• Endoguard
  Protects the inner lining of arteries and reduces inflammation at the vascular level, supporting long-term arterial health.
• ARJ Tablet / Arj Kadha
  An Arjuna-based formulation that strengthens the heart muscle and supports healthy lipid levels throughout the body.
• GHA / GHA Pro
  Reduces the heart muscle’s oxygen demand and supports improved blood supply, easing overall cardiac workload during recovery.
• SM-CARD
  Stabilises heart rhythm and addresses palpitations and rapid heartbeat, helping restore a more regular cardiac rhythm.
• Wincol Churna
  Supports healthy cholesterol levels and long-term arterial health, protecting against future plaque formation and related risk.

All formulations are prescribed in combination with one another, working together to support cardiac recovery at the muscle, arterial, and metabolic levels simultaneously, rather than addressing each concern separately, one at a time, throughout the treatment journey.

At Madhavbaug, diet is a clinical prescription that actively participates in cardiac recovery, not a generalised plan. Every patient receives a dietary programme built around diagnosis, cholesterol, and metabolic profile.

Cardiac diet kits are set at 800 to 1000 calories per day. This range reduces metabolic load on the heart while clearing fat deposits from arteries and visceral tissue.

Excess sugar, not fat, is the primary driver of arterial inflammation and plaque formation. Carbohydrate intake stays low, and food is selected for antioxidant capacity.

Fresh salad, vegetables, and fruits are prescribed daily, providing the fibre, potassium, and vitamin C the cardiovascular system needs to recover.

Pure cow ghee is permitted in measured amounts. Refined oils, fried foods, and processed carbohydrates are excluded entirely from every stage of treatment.

Salt and fluid intake are restricted per the patient’s condition. Excess sodium and fluid increase cardiac workload and slow recovery.

Where diabetes, hypertension, or obesity are contributing factors, milk and milk products are removed as part of the metabolic correction protocol.

For confirmed CAD patients, the Reversal Diet Kit is prescribed, a medically supervised plan offering pre-portioned, ready-to-prepare meals with high antioxidant content, to manage cholesterol, reduce inflammation, and support cardiovascular health.

Meals are spaced at regular intervals throughout the day, preventing the blood sugar swings that can add unnecessary strain to the heart.

The diet plan is reviewed and adjusted periodically as the patient’s cardiac markers and weight change over the course of treatment.

Exercise at Madhavbaug is prescribed as a clinical cardiac recovery tool, not a general fitness routine. Every protocol is designed around the patient’s current heart function, physical capacity, and diagnosis, and is supervised very closely by a physiotherapist throughout the entire course of treatment and full recovery.

The programme includes cardiovascular exercise to strengthen the heart muscle gradually and safely, resistance training to maintain a healthy weight and support overall metabolic function, and pranayama to reduce stress hormones, regulate blood pressure, and relieve sustained cardiac demand over time and across the full recovery journey ahead.

Each component is introduced at a careful pace matched to the patient’s current recovery stage, ensuring the heart is never placed under unnecessary strain while still steadily building meaningful functional improvement session by session, week by week, and steadily month by month, consistently.

Progress is measured through two objective markers, which are recorded on day one and again at every subsequent milestone throughout the programme. This consistent tracking allows the care team to adjust intensity and duration as the patient’s cardiac function improves, ensuring the exercise plan continues to match their evolving capacity rather than remaining static throughout the full duration of treatment and recovery.

Patients are educated on recognising early warning signs, such as unusual breathlessness or chest discomfort, so sessions can be paused immediately if needed.

A home-based exercise plan is also provided for days between supervised sessions, keeping recovery consistent throughout the week.

Vitals such as blood pressure and oxygen saturation are checked before and after each session to confirm the body is responding as expected.

Stress and addiction are treated as genuine contributors to heart disease at Madhavbaug, not side issues to be addressed later. Here is how they are actively managed as part of every patient’s overall care plan, alongside the rest of their ongoing cardiac treatment and full recovery ahead of them.

• 90-Day Guided Meditation Programme
  Delivered through the MIB Pulse App, this structured programme helps reduce chronic stress and its cardiac impact over time, one guided daily session at a time, consistently and steadily.
• Structured Pranayama and Yogasanas
  These daily practices help regulate heart rate, lower blood pressure, and reduce stress hormone levels, supporting the nervous system alongside the rest of the treatment plan.
• Targeted Panchakarma Procedures
  Specific procedures are used to address stress at a deeper physiological level, working beneath the surface rather than only managing outward symptoms as they appear.
• Proprietary Ayurvedic Formulations
  These are prescribed where clinically indicated to support the nervous system and reduce stress-related cardiac load, adjusted individually based on each patient’s condition and response over time.
• Structured De-Addiction Protocol
  Running alongside the main treatment plan, this protocol addresses tobacco, smoking, and alcohol use, with patients counselled and closely monitored throughout their entire recovery journey and beyond.
