Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a common health concern that can lead to serious cardiovascular issues if left unmanaged.

How does Ayurveda View Hypertension?

In Ayurveda, hypertension is linked to imbalances in the Vata and Pitta doshas and an accumulation of ama (toxins). A holistic approach that includes a balanced diet, healthy lifestyle choices, and emotional well-being can significantly help in controlling blood pressure levels.
