Three Organs.
One Destiny.
What Charaka Samhita called Hridaya–Yakrit–Vrikka, modern medicine in 2024 named the Cardio-Renal-Hepatic Axis. Ayurveda described it first — by 2,300 years.
Heart
Pumps blood to every organ. Depends on liver hormones and kidney pressure balance.
Liver
Controls cholesterol, detoxifies blood, produces clotting proteins critical for heart and kidney health.
Kidneys
Regulates blood pressure, fluid volume and waste removal — kidney stress directly overloads the heart.

How the Three Organs Damage Each Other
A fatty liver releases inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α) into the bloodstream — causing arterial plaque, cardiomyopathy and arrhythmias even when the heart itself is not primarily diseased.
Kidney impairment activates RAAS — fluid retention raises blood pressure, forcing the heart to pump harder until walls thicken and cardiac output falls in a self-reinforcing spiral.
When all three deteriorate simultaneously, mortality rises dramatically. AHA 2024 named this CKM Syndrome and declared it must be treated as one unified condition.
Key insight: Because heart and kidneys are locked in a mutual feedback loop, treating only one almost never works long-term. This is why Ayurveda's Sannipata approach — and modern CKM protocols — both insist on treating all three organs simultaneously.
Clear Heaart Plus Capsules
6 Ayurvedic herbs — each selected for a precise clinical purpose
Classified as Hridya (heart tonic) in the Charaka Samhita — used to strengthen the heart muscle and manage Hridroga (chest pain). Vagbhata prescribed Arjuna bark decoction as the primary remedy for cardiac weakness and palpitations. Balances Kapha and Pitta doshas governing cardiovascular function.
Clinical studies show Arjuna bark extract reduces LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while improving left ventricular ejection fraction. Active compounds — glycosides, flavonoids (luteolin, quercetin), and tannins — exhibit cardioprotective, antioxidant, anti-ischemic, and antihypertensive effects. PMC4220499 →
- Strengthens heart muscle and improves cardiac output
- Reduces LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels
- Helps regulate blood pressure via nitric oxide
- Anti-ischemic — protects the heart from oxygen deprivation
- Antioxidant action reduces oxidative stress on the cardiovascular system
Known as Tvak in Sanskrit. Classified as Deepana (digestive fire enhancer) and Lekhana (scraping fat and toxins from channels). Recommended for Medoroga (lipid disorders) and Prameha (metabolic conditions). Said to cleanse Raktavaha Srotas and support the liver in fat metabolism.
Meta-analyses of 49 RCTs (2024) confirm cinnamon significantly reduces fasting blood glucose, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. Cinnamaldehyde activates insulin receptors and improves glucose uptake. Studies confirm cinnamon reduces CRP — a key inflammation marker directly linked to cardiovascular risk. PMC12224812 →
- Lowers LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels
- Improves insulin sensitivity — reduces metabolic cardiovascular risk
- Reduces systemic inflammation by lowering CRP levels
- Supports liver fat metabolism and biliary function
- Antioxidant protection against oxidative damage to arterial walls
A core component of the Trikatu formula. Classified as Deepana, Pachana (digestive) and Rasayana (rejuvenative). Charaka Samhita specifically recommends Pippali for liver conditions (Yakrit Vikar) and as a catalyst that amplifies the action of other medicines.
Piperine has been shown clinically to increase the bioavailability of co-administered botanical compounds by up to 2,000% by inhibiting drug-metabolizing enzymes in the gut. Research demonstrates hepatoprotective effects — piperine reduces liver enzymes ALT and AST and supports liver cell regeneration. PMC9619120 →
- Natural bioenhancer — multiplies effectiveness of all other herbs
- Protects the liver and reduces elevated liver enzymes (ALT, AST)
- Supports bile acid metabolism for cholesterol regulation
- Anti-inflammatory action on cardiovascular and respiratory tissue
- Improves nutrient absorption from food and all other supplements
Known as Katuka in Ayurvedic texts. The premier herb for Yakrit (liver) and Pliha (spleen) disorders. Charaka Samhita lists Kutki for Kaamala (jaundice), Arsha (inflammation), and Jwara (chronic systemic inflammation). Pacifies Pitta dosha, which governs liver function and bile production.
Kutki contains picroside I and II (kutkin) — extensively studied for hepatoprotective effects. Research shows kutkin reduces liver inflammation, significantly lowers ALT and AST in fatty liver disease, and promotes liver cell regeneration. Multiple studies demonstrate it equals or outperforms silymarin (milk thistle) in liver protection. PMC10105242 →
- Powerful liver detox — clinically reduces ALT and AST elevation
- Treats and helps reverse fatty liver (NAFLD and NASH)
- Improves bile production — directly supports cholesterol metabolism
- Strong anti-inflammatory — reduces liver and systemic inflammation
- Supports kidney filtration and immune function simultaneously
Called Methika in Sanskrit. Prominently mentioned in both Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita for Medoroga (lipid disorders) and Prameha (metabolic/diabetic conditions). Classified as Lekhana (fat-scraping), Deepana (digestive fire), and Vatanulomana (normalizes Vata for better circulation).
Methi seeds contain galactomannan — soluble fiber that binds dietary cholesterol and bile acids in the gut. Multiple RCTs confirm fenugreek reduces fasting glucose and HbA1c. A study in Phytotherapy Research showed 18g/day reduced total cholesterol by 14% and LDL by 25% over 24 weeks. PMID 32385866 →
- Reduces LDL cholesterol by binding bile acids in the gut
- Lowers fasting blood sugar and HbA1c
- Galactomannan fiber slows glucose and cholesterol absorption
- Supports kidney health and urinary tract tone
- Anti-inflammatory saponins protect arterial wall integrity
One of the most important Rasayana (rejuvenating) herbs in Ayurveda. The name means "strength of a horse." Recommended in Charaka Samhita for Hridroga (heart disease) and Vatavyadhi (stress/neurological conditions). Classified as Medhya Rasayana — a herb that strengthens the mind-heart connection.
Withanolides show significant reduction in serum cortisol in RCTs — chronically elevated cortisol is a proven major driver of hypertension and arterial inflammation. A 2019 study showed ashwagandha significantly reduced total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides while improving HDL. Additional studies confirm improved VO2 max and direct cardioprotective effects. PMC11314093 →
- Reduces cortisol — lowers stress-driven hypertension
- Improves HDL while reducing LDL and triglycerides
- Anti-inflammatory — lowers CRP and inflammatory cytokines
- Improves heart rate variability and cardiovascular endurance
- Protects against adrenal burnout — a major contributor to cardiac strain
Clear Heaart Liquid
5 whole foods — raw, unprocessed, maximum potency
Fermented preparations (Asava, Arishta) are a cornerstone of Ayurvedic medicine. Raw ACV aligns with Amla (sour) rasa and Deepana-Pachana action — stimulating digestive fire and metabolizing Ama. Acetic acid mirrors the action of Lekhana — scraping fat deposits from Medovaha Srotas, including the liver and blood vessels.
Acetic acid in ACV activates AMPK — the body's master metabolic switch — stimulating fat burning and reducing lipid synthesis in the liver. Studies confirm ACV reduces fasting blood glucose, improves insulin sensitivity, and lowers HbA1c. Research confirmed daily ACV reduced LDL and triglycerides over 8 weeks. PMC8243436 →
- Activates AMPK — promotes systemic fat metabolism
- Lowers fasting blood sugar and improves insulin sensitivity
- Reduces LDL cholesterol and triglycerides
- Improves gut microbiome to support cholesterol excretion
- Anti-inflammatory — reduces cardiovascular inflammatory markers
Called Mahaushadha — the great medicine. A core Trikatu herb. Classified as Hridya (heart tonic) and Ama-pachana — burning off accumulated metabolic toxins. Ashtanga Hridayam specifically recommends ginger for Hridroga (heart disease) and cleansing of Raktavaha Srotas (blood vessels).
Gingerols and shogaols are potent COX-2 inhibitors — same mechanism as anti-inflammatory drugs but without gastrointestinal side effects. Clinical studies confirm ginger significantly reduces serum cholesterol, LDL and VLDL. Ginger also inhibits platelet aggregation — directly reducing heart attack and stroke risk. PMC12131349 →
- Potent anti-inflammatory — reduces arterial inflammation without side effects
- Lowers LDL, VLDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels
- Inhibits platelet aggregation — reduces blood clot and stroke risk
- Lowers blood pressure through multiple complementary pathways
- Supports liver detoxification and bile production
Called Rasona in Sanskrit — containing 5 of the 6 Ayurvedic tastes. Classified as Hridya (heart tonic), Lekhana (cholesterol and fat scraper), and Krimighna (antimicrobial). Charaka Samhita places garlic among top Rasayana herbs. Ancient texts describe it as the supreme purifier of Raktavaha Srotas. Critically, raw garlic is specifically emphasized — Ayurveda recognized that cooking diminishes therapeutic potency.
Allicin — released when raw garlic is crushed — is the primary active compound. Over 40 clinical trials confirm garlic reduces systolic BP by 8–10 mmHg and diastolic by 5–7 mmHg, comparable to mild antihypertensive medication. Meta-analyses confirm garlic reduces total cholesterol by 9–12% and LDL by up to 17%. Cooking destroys up to 90% of allicin. PMC8031974 →
- Lowers blood pressure — comparable to mild antihypertensive medication
- Reduces LDL cholesterol by up to 17% in clinical trials
- Reduces arterial stiffness and improves endothelial function
- Inhibits platelet clumping — reduces heart attack and stroke risk
- Powerful antioxidant — reduces oxidative damage to vessel walls
Called Nimbuka in Ayurveda. Classified as Amla (sour) rasa with Deepana and Pachana properties. Charaka recommends lemon as a Hridya (heart-supporting) food. Sour taste stimulates the liver, enhances bile flow and strengthens Agni. Lemon water at dawn is a classical Ayurvedic Dinacharya (daily practice) for liver and kidney cleansing — described in Ashtanga Hridayam.
Vitamin C is a critical cofactor for collagen synthesis — essential for maintaining arterial wall structural integrity and preventing the micro-tears where cholesterol plaque begins to form. Hesperidin in lemon juice has been shown in clinical trials to reduce LDL and increase HDL cholesterol. D-Limonene induces Phase I and Phase II liver detoxification enzymes. PMC4279313 →
- Vitamin C maintains arterial wall integrity — prevents plaque formation sites
- Hesperidin reduces LDL and raises HDL cholesterol
- Reduces blood pressure and arterial stiffness
- Citric acid protects kidneys from stone formation
- Induces liver detox enzymes — supports Phase I and Phase II detoxification
Called Madhu — one of the most sacred therapeutic substances in Ayurveda. Considered Yogavahi (carrier vehicle) — it penetrates deep tissues and carries other herbs' properties with it. Classified as Hridya (heart tonic), Lekhana (fat-scraping), and the supreme Anupana (vehicle) for delivering herbal medicines. Critically, Ayurveda explicitly warns that heating honey above 40°C converts it to Ama — which is why Clear Heaart Liquid uses only raw, unheated honey.
Raw honey's antioxidant content — flavonoids, phenolic acids, and catalase — has been shown in clinical trials to reduce total cholesterol and LDL while increasing HDL and reducing CRP. Prebiotic oligosaccharides feed beneficial gut bacteria that perform bile acid transformation — a key step in cholesterol excretion. Honey has been shown to improve bioavailability of botanical polyphenols. PMC4279313 →
- Raises HDL while reducing LDL — unlike other sweeteners
- Prebiotic effect improves gut bacteria that metabolize cholesterol
- Natural carrier (Anupana/Yogavahi) — increases absorption of all liquid ingredients
- Antioxidant phenolics reduce oxidative stress on arterial walls
- Anti-inflammatory — reduces CRP and systemic inflammation markers
