accelerated hypertension and atrial fibrillation

[Guest guest]

This concept is based on the underlying principle that these problems

have lack of suffecient energy and vitality to control the blood

pressure. I agree with that and addressed it in my previous post about

the importance of low metabolism in these types of cases. My doubt is;

since these cases also have excessive hot toxic conditions, stimulants

might be contraindicated. Gold bhasmas could be overheating to someone

who is already overheated from toxins. Perhaps such a substance would

be useful after the excess heat and toxins had been removed, then it

might be a very useful Rasayana. In TCM it is advised not to give

stimulating adaptogens like Ginseng in many of these cases since it

can overheat and raise the blood pressure even more. I will be

interested in the opinion of others on this, I hope some knowlegable

person will comment.

> Chala characteristic is only of Vata dosha. Due to this Chala

characteristic the Vata dosha gets stimulated very easily. Vyana

vayu's function is to circulate blood flow with appropriate pressure.

Hence while treating reactive hypertension one should concentrate on

Vyana vayu.

> Bruhatavata chintamani is a very good preparation for reactive

hypertension of any cause. The said medicine will not directly lower

the blood pressure but will act on Vyana vayu, control on Chala guna

and as an after effect will reduce blood pressure.

Dear Liz

Brihatvat chintamani has no stimulating effect. On the contrary it stabilises

Vata dosha. It not only has Bhasma of Gold [ removes toxins] but it has Bhasma's

of Praval, Mouktic, Raupyya etc. The Mouktik and Praval acts on Pitta dosha. The

Pitta dosha is living within Rakta dhatu. These ingredients has stabilising

effect on Raktadhatu. [ Detoxification of blood] The Ushna guna [ Heat] of the

Rakta dhatu is due to the Pitta dosha. Hence these ingredients reduces Ushna

Guna [ heat] of the Pitta dosha and Raktadhartu

Raupyya Bhasma is too of Shita guna [cold] and acts on Majjadhatu or Nerves.

It controls Vatadosha within the Majjadhatu.

Hence I think use of Brihatvat chintamani in accelerated hypertension will not

only lower blood pressure gradually but also protect brain form any damage.
