Abstract
Lifestyle disorders are generally complex to cure. Hypertension is one of the most common lifestyle disorders today. Due to unhealthy advance modernization people are leading to stressful lives. Lifestyle disorders definitely illuminate with the broader approach of Ayurveda. The Ayurvedic system understands the functioning of human body as a whole and any disease is concluding to be due to imbalance of Tridosha—Vata, Pitta and Kapha. The principals of Ayurveda are concentrated on maintaining good health by good diet and good lifestyle. The treatment for hypertension in Ayurveda aims at balancing of these three doshas.
Hypertension (known as Rakta Gata Vata in Ayurveda) is elevated pressure of the blood in the arteries. It is usually higher after exercise or under stress. Having higher blood pressure for short intervals of time is normal. However, when blood pressure stays high for a longer duration, the Ayurvedic approach for the treatment of hypertension is aimed at identifying the root cause of the condition and then administering herbs that can eradicate the problem from its roots.
