High Blood Pressure
Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a significant health concern where the force of blood against artery walls is consistently too high. It is often called a "silent killer" because it may not present noticeable symptoms in its early stages but can lead to severe complications like heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure if left untreated.
-
Ayurveda believes that an imbalance in the Vata and Pitta doshas primarily contributes to high blood pressure, with Kapha dosha also playing a role in some cases.
-
Factors like poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, stress, anxiety, and genetic predisposition can aggravate these doshas and lead to hypertension.

At Vaidyamrit ayurveda, our approach focuses on reversing Hypertension through Ayurvedic treatments, dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, and therapies.
Panchakarma therapies
Panchakarma, a set of detoxification therapies, can be helpful in managing hypertension by removing toxins and restoring balance. These therapies may include Virechana (purgation), Basti (medicated enema), Shirodhara (pouring oil on the forehead), Abhyanga (massage), and Nasya (nasal administration).
Dietary recommendations
An Ayurvedic diet for managing high blood pressure emphasizes incorporating whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables (especially potassium-rich options), and anti-inflammatory spices.
Lifestyle modifications
Lifestyle changes are crucial in Ayurvedic management of hypertension. Regular exercise, such as walking or yoga, for at least 30 minutes daily is recommended.
