The Arjun tree bark (Terminalia arjuna) is a well-known herb in Ayurvedic medicine, especially for heart health, but it cannot stop a heart attack in progress.

✅ What Arjun Tree Bark Can Do (Scientifically/Ayurvedically)
Arjun bark is known for:
• 🌿 Strengthening heart muscles (cardioprotective)
• ❤️ Improving circulation and lowering blood pressure
• 💧 Reducing cholesterol (LDL and triglycerides)
