What is Hypertension?
Hypertension can be called as high blood pressure; it is the pressure or force exerted by blood on the arterial walls. According to ayurveda hypertension is because of aggravation of vata and pitta dosha, so by correcting these two doshas will make your vascular system healthy. Hypertension can be compared with raktagata vata; in this condition vata dosha vitiates rakta
dhatu. Hypertension can also be called as a lifestyle disorder; it is caused by non-monitored stress, incompatible food habits,smoking,drinking etc.

Management of Hypertension in ayurveda
There are several single herbs which single handedly makes hypertension under control. The main aim of ayurveda while treating a hypertensive person is nidana parivarjanam (removing the reason in which the disease is manifesting), it can be bad habit, stress etc. Then administering proper panchakarma therapies like virechana ,basti and raktamokshana will
eliminate morbid doshas. Taking help of other important therapies like takra dhara, ksheera dhara along with proper internal medication also helps in achieving the ultimate goal. Maintaining your lifestyle is also important for instance eating appropriate diet along with exercises will keep your heart and its components healthy.
