MANAGEMENT –
It
is extremely important before starting the treatment if we know if there is any
cause for the high blood pressure. The treatment aimed at removing the cause
would be the most successful one.
There
are many herbs which act in different ways to control or lower down the high
values of the blood pressure.
Few
of them are —
PUNARNAVA
– this is a herb having two varieties, red and white. The red one is called
Boerhavia diffusa and it is extremely useful in these cases. this herb has a
special action on the kidneys to normalize their physiology and because the
main control system for the blood pressure is through the enzyme renin secreted
by the kidneys, so it helps to bring the high blood pressure to normal.
SHANKHAPUSHPI
– this a herb very famous usually as a memory booster but it specifically act
through the nervous system and acts on the baroreceptors in the carotid veins
and brings them to their normal physiology so that they are ale to control the
blood pressure in a natural way. It also calms down the nerves in cases of
agitation and anxiety.
JATAAMAANSI
– this is the herb with the latin name Convolvulus pleuricalis, is a very good
herb which acts on the nervous system as well as the mind, it acts through the
higher canters of the cerebrum thus reducing the excitation the mind and the
body is feeling, thereby decreasing the high blood pressure.
TAGAR
– commonly called Velerian, this herb is a very good anxiolytic agent. Chronic
anxiety is one of the main reasons for the constant hypertension. In higher
doses it induces good sleep but normal doses it produces a feeling of euphoria
thus reducing the stress levels and making a person able to confront anxiety
thereby taking control of the blood pressure.
SARPAGANADHA
– this is a herb from which the chemical Reserpine was extracted which has been
a very good anti-hypertensive agent for many years and has been used by the
western countries for many years. But it was having many side effects because
they were extracting the chemical from the herb and them using that. But in
AYURVEDA it is being used as a whole herb, and when it is used in this form it
doesn’t have any side effects, it is very effective in many cases of essential
hypertension.
