preparation extracted from bark
of Terminalia arjuna tree. Current

that Arjuna contains specific
medically active constituents
namely triterpine glycosides like
arjunetosides I, II, III, IV,
arjunine and arjunetein. The bark
is rich in saponnins, natural
anti-oxidants (flavonoids-arjunone,arjunolone,leteilin)

Update
The bark is useful as an anti-ischemic
and cardioprotective agent in
hypertension and in ischemic heart
disease. It also has a tonic effect
in cases of cirrhosis of the liver.
It induces a drug-dependent decrease
in blood pressure and heart rate.
It has been reported to possess
protective cardiovascular and
hypolipidemic properties. It reduces
the level of triglycerides and
cholesterol and has been reported
to enhance the synthesis of LDL-apoprotein
(apoB). It inhibits the oxidation
of LDL and accelerates the turnover
of LDL-cholesterol in liver. This
enhances the elimination of cholesterol
from the body.
The suppression of hepatic cholesterol
biosynthesis by Terminalia arjuna
is the mechanism responsible for
a significant lowering of beta-lipoprotein
lipids and the recovery of HDL
components in hyperlipidemia.
In a study on the efficacy of
the bark powder in treating congestive
cardiac failure (CCF), over 40%
of the cases showed marked improvement.
CCF due to congenital anomaly
of heart and valvular disease
was also brought under control.
4 out of 9 cases of CCF due to
chronic bronchitis were also relieved
by the treatment.
