Ayurveda’s view of hypertension

The tridoshas of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha are the guiding principle in the working of Ayuveda, which believes that a fine balance between the three is needed for good health. Imbalance in any of the doshas can cause diseases and disorders in health. Ayurveda does not consider high blood pressure as a disease, since it tends to have no major symptoms. Hypertension has different names in Ayurveda and is termed Vyanabala vaishamya.

Blood flows from the heart to other parts of the body and then flows back to the heart. The movement of blood through the blood vessels is known as Sirah. The movement of blood (rakta) in the blood vessels is controlled by the Samana Vata. Blood circulation, as per Ayurveda, is managed by the Vata dosha, with the Vyana Vata in particular. According to Charaka, systolic blood pressure is controlled by the Vyana Vata.

The heart functioning, as per Ayurveda, is controlled by the Prana Vata. Thus, the Vyana Vata and the Prana Vata are the controlling forces behind blood circulation. When it comes to the diastole, the heart does not do anything and the blood moves through the structure of the heart and arteries. This is attributed to Kapha dosha, since Kapha is responsible for the structural organs.

The basal metabolic rate of the body works through the Pitta dosha, with the Pachaka Pitta being prevalent. Blood pressure is essentially a Vata function, aided by Kapha and Pitta. High salt, low potassium, lack of exercise, stress all cause an imbalance in the doshas. This leads to increase of pressure on the walls of the blood vessels.

Ayurveda, as per Charaka, focuses on Nidana parivarjana whereby the factor that causes the disease needs to be avoided. In this case, it is salt in food and fatty foods that need to be avoided. Ayurveda prescribes Shamshodhana chikitsa  or cleansing therapies that cleanse the body of toxins to create energy balance and restore the functioning of the doshas. Ayurvedic medicine for hypertension can be very helpful in reducing the blood pressure level. Common herbs used to prepare ayurvedic medicine for blood pressure include Sarpagandha, Ashwagandha, Jatamanasi, Arjuna, and Rasana.

Apart from treatment, Ayurveda highlights prevention. Lifestyle change is essential to treat hypertension.
