ayurvedic medicine on high blood pressure

[Guest guest]

hallo, i wanted to know from the experts whether there is any

ayurvedic medicine on high BP. please suggest any further symptoms those need to

be stated.

Have you searched the message search option on the list message page? Have

you tried increasing your water intake and trying yoga, pranayama and

relaxation?

 

Hypertension is something the allopaths love to give you a pill for, I don't

believe that Ayurveda works like that - the body is not a machine but the

individual themselves can control their bodily functions, including blood

pressure, to a greater or lesser extent, depending on how they treat it.

Hypertension is a symptom, not a disease. Vaidya may tell you the root cause

after a checkup.

 

While more than 50% of drug sales are contributed by anti-

hypertensive modern drugs, the root cuase is stress experienced

by all of us. If you search archives using keywords " blood pressure "

or " hypertension " you will come across a number of postings and

experiences of patients. There is a lot to learn from these. Antihypertensive

drugs bring in additional problems, which fetch

remaining drug revenue.

 

But in recent years, a new revolution has started in India, and it is

being studied with interest by western medicos. This is where yoga

and ayurveda are being integrated. View of the body as a chemical

plant controlled by brain has given rise to modern anti-

hypertensives. But hypertension as an indicator of mental stress and

a result of prajnaparadha, a view taken by spiritual ayurveda. That

has given rise to several breathing techniques, meditation techniqes

propogated by yoga gurus of eminence, e.g. Baba Ramdev, B.K.S

Ayengar, Sri Sri Ravishankar. And it is now a research area by

allopaths at AIIMS, New Delhi(please see archives). New yoga teachers are

teaching the

breathing techniques in every corner of the world.

 

The scientific research on effect of prayers is another new area of

research by service minded medicos. e.g.

 

Despite being overweight, negligence in regular medication, the

people who prayed had lower b.p. They had lower levels of cortisol,

a biological marker of stress:

" Praying for lower blood pressure? "

Dear mmjoshi, you may find the views in archives that you may have to

take your beta-blocker drugs/ACE Inhibitor drugs/Calcium Channel

blocker drugs for life time, by even Ayurvedic Doctors. But do your

own research, learn some yoga/pranayama/meditation techniques and

then post your experiences for the benifit of others.

 

This should not be construed to mean that you should not meet a

vaidya. True cause could be some thing in addition to stress too. But

even other cause will be addressed to some extent by drugless

approach.

Respected " mmjoshi23 "

Hari Om !

" MUKTAVATI " is a perfect ayurvedic medicine on high BP. Take

one tablet each, three times a day, with empty stomach. Take plenty of

fluids/water with restricted intake of salt.

With best wishes always,

Respected " Jane MacRoss "

Hari Om !

You quoted, " Hypertension is something the allopaths love to

I don't agree with you, please don't mind! Though I am not an

expert, I am sure, " MUKTAVATI " is an ayurvedic medicine on high blood

pressure........ perfectly sure to cure !

Secondly, intake of Plenty of fluids/water and restricted

intake of salt are necessary to get control over the BP. Go on an

apple diet for a few days. It has a diuretic effect and thus brings

down the B.P. Consumption of natural diuretics like coconut water,

butter milk and coriander (dhania) juice made from green coriander

leaves is very beneficial.

Dear Swami

 

As a monk have you not seen the effect documented many times on how

meditation reduces the high blood pressure? And seen how the breath controls

many bodily functions? These maladies that over take us are not something

that has fallen into us from the sky - well not often manifesting as

hypertension anyway - they are the results of many years tension and many

years poor diet and dehydration - can you not see this?

 

By giving a pill to relief symptoms you do not encourage the victim to

change anything in the lifestyle that has led to this point - do you? Which

means you are trying to forcefully reduce the BP while on the other hand

maintaining the lifestyle that produced it!

 

Why would you not agree that taking charge of one's Life and ones body and

allowing healing changes to occur beneficially and naturally through

behavioural changes, is the simplest Path?

 

 

Best,

 

Jane

Your advise points to the root cause of the problem, but still misses

some important points. Swamiji, with all due respect to all acharyas

who formulated various medicines, this list has posts where well

known and " SURE " medicines did not work for the people. e.g. please

see Muktavati score:

 

ayurveda/message/10078

ayurveda/message/10088

 

also

ayurveda/message/4546

 

The reasons for such failures are not far to seek. Most netizens are

looking for some magic cure in terms of " PILL " , without altering

their food style, lifestyle and stress raisers. This author had a

patient who even visited Kankhal, Haridwar and obtained medicines

from Divya Yoga Pharmacy, which included Muktavati, some more

bhasmas. But he had to work in shifts, he could not stop his smoking. He is now

an addict of anti-hypertensives, even when they are not working.

 

Another patient had already tried Sarpagandha Ghanvati for 6

months without any change in blood pressure nad come in search of some magic

cure. Same issues could be

found in all such cases why medicines become ineffective.

 

Maya misleads the man to seek material pleasures, and this gives

never ending temptation to accumulate wealth, which is accumulated

after taking out every spiritual juice out of the physical body. If

body does not respond, the whip of intoxicants is available. When

stress is a result of such practice, no medicine pill is likely to

work, be it ayurvedic, homeopathic or unani. The medicine needed here

is already hinted in previous post.

High blood pressure results from derangement of vata dosha and vyana vayu.

 

Thus the treatment is always focused to correct the balance of vata dosha.

Naturally  there is no single  medicine rather we have to combine  ayurvedic

resources of herbs with regimen (dietary changes with support of Yoga).

 

Rasona or garlic is most important substance helpful in alleviating vata dosha

controlling blood pressure. A paste made of about 1 gm of garlic should be mixed

with a glass of buttermilk. Drink this buttermilk twice a day. It will bring

your blood pressure down. Garlic lowers cholesterol and triglyceride that have

impact on heart disease.

 

Soak 1 tsp fenugreek seed in water for a night and munch them early in the

morning on empty stomach. It will reduce your cholesterol and excess fats.

 

Terminalia arjuna, (Arjun), R. serpentina (Sarpagandha), Withania somnifera and

Jaharmohara are effective ayurvedic ingredients and have been used in Ayurveda

for cardiac ailments since ancient times.

 

Triphala Guggul is yet another Ayurvedic preparation found useful in reducing

cholesterol levels.

 

OMNICOR is natural blend of Triphala, Garcinia, Guggul and Vidanga. It reduces

weight, Triglycerides, LDL Cholesterol and protects your heart against

complications of high blood pressure. This preparation is also available in the

US and Canada.

 

Dose 1-2 Capsule twice daily before meal with warm water.

 

Ayurvedic Help for Morning Surge of high blood pressure

 

High blood pressure is important risk factor for variety of cardiovascular

diseases. Most studies of diurnal variation have shown an increase in acute

myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death and stroke in the morning hours. It

is now apparent that the morning blood pressure surge (MBPS) is an independent

risk factor that may contribute sudden heart attack.

 

The morning high blood pressure is present in normotensives and exaggerated in

hypertensive subjects, especially the elderly with systemic high blood pressure.

The exaggerated morning surge has been reported to increase left ventricular

mass and cadcardiac arrhyhmias. In addition, the mbps increases sheer stress and

pressure in the vascular wall leading to increased oxidative stress, further

vascular damage and atherosclerotic plaque rupture.

 

The morning surge of blood pressure may be successfully treated using ayurvedic

ingredients at bedtime. The important ingredients are Withania somnifera

(Ashwagandha), Centella asiatica (Brahmi) and Acorus calamus (Vaca). These

ingredients balances the increased sympathetic nervous system which is main

cause of morning blood pressure surge.

 

Prevention of Blood Pressure: Diet & Yogic support is of paramount importance.

The dietary changes comprises (i) reduction of salt intake to an average of not

more than 5 g per day (ii) moderate fat intake (iii) the avoidance of a high

alcohol intake, and (iv) restriction of energy intake appropriate to body needs.

Reduction of stress and smoking, modification of personal life-style, yogic

relaxation & meditation could be profitable. Simple deep breathing, inhalation

and exhalation without retension may be performed. This practice may be done by

sitting in Sukhasana at home or in Chair at office. Regular practice of

Shavasana is very effective yogic support for the prevention of high blood

pressure and its complications.

Rightly quoted, " Maya misleads the man to seek material pleasures,

accumulated after taking out every spiritual juice out of the

I agree with you........ it's a fact. But a person wanted to know

whether an ayurvedic medicine is available on high blood pressure ?

The question was limited to the ayurvedic medicine only......... and

thus the answer !

 

I agree with 'Jane', too...... there are many solutions available

and these show results depending upon many parameters/conditions

i.e. altering their food style, lifestyle and stress raisers etc.

Vedic system recommends a few Asanas & Pranayams, a few home-remedies

are also available....... and other 'pathies are also there. But,

according to the question raised by 'mm', I had to confine myself to

an ayurvedic medicine only.

 

Lastly, It's true, I am not an expert....... I, always,think

myself a student of 'ayurvedic system' 'cause it's depth cann't be

measured by a student like me. Yes, being a Sannyasi/Monk, I want to

convey/share my feelings and knowledge on ayurveda, if any, to all

for their benefits, if possible.

 

Thanks to all the experts/vaidyas for their comments on my

post......

High blood pressure is basically a symptom of some disorder of heart, kidney or

brain, unless it is essential hypertension. It is also considered a life-style

problem where stress, highly salted-spicy-oily foods, irregular/lack of sleep

and such factors rule the roost.

Just medicines do not help in controlling this problem. However, Arjun in heart

problems, Punarnava and Gokshur in kidney problems and Jatamansi and other

medhya herbs in brain problems are indicated. Sarpagandha is a medicine that is

symptomatically used in many anti-hypertensive herbal preparations.

But, the regime that works best is Panchkarma. All these medicines can be used

safely under the proper guidance of Ayurvedic doctor.

Even Yogic postures (asanas) like Shavasana (corpse pose) has proven medical

values in blood-pressure patients. Even Pranayam is very useful. But these

alternates need practice, patience and perseverence for obtaining results.

Lastly, a correction in life-style according to one's constitution (Prakurti) is

very useful for long-term benefits.
