What is Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)?

Hypertension is known as high blood pressure. It is a health condition in which the force of the blood against the artery walls consistently remains too high. The blood pressure reading is 130/80 mmHg or higher. 

High blood pressure can strain the heart and lead to severe health problems like cardiovascular diseases, heart attacks, kidney failure, and stroke if not treated or managed. Medical experts call it a silent killer as it shows no visible symptoms and requires a series of checks for diagnosis.  

Ayurvedic Views on High Blood Pressure

In Ayurveda, hypertension is not high blood pressure. It is an imbalance in the body's three doshas (vata, pitta, and kapha), stress, emotional disturbances, and impaired blood circulation (srotas) that affect the vascular system and heart.   

According to ancient Ayurvedic literature, the channels carrying blood and fluid get affected when:

• Vata, which governs mobility and the nerve system, is aggravated  
• Pitta, which is responsible for inflammation and heat, faces an increase 

So, Ayurvedic treatment for hypertension takes a multifaceted approach to:

• Balance the body's doshas, particularly vata and pitta
• Reduce stress and calm the mind and nervous system
• Enhance blood circulation and remove excess fluid and toxins
• Strengthen heart tissues and function
• Modify dietary and lifestyle habits   

Several modern scientific studies have found that Ayurvedic hypertension treatment, combining diet, herbal medicines, yoga, and lifestyle, gradually helps keep blood pressure healthy.
