Hello
Have a Healthy Day !!
Welcome to the world of health from Ayurveda conducted by Dr. Nikul Patel.
You have high blood pressure and ask whether Ayurveda can give a tranquilliser-type BP medicine. High BP and tranquillisers are two different things: tranquillisers are used when one cannot sleep, while blood pressure is separate and is treated differently.
First, about high BP: Ayurveda has very good and precise treatment for it. After proper examination, considering all parameters – the state of Vata, Pitta and Kapha, the patient’s age, the causes of high BP, mental shocks, emotions and tension – the BP medicine is set in the right dose. Initially allopathic and Ayurvedic BP medicines are given together. As the effect of Ayurvedic medicine settles, the allopathic medicine is reduced gradually under monitoring and may eventually be stopped; after some years of Ayurvedic medicine with proper diet, that too may be tapered.
Tranquillisers – sleeping pills given when one cannot sleep – are usually not needed in Ayurveda. Medhya herbs (that strengthen the brain) reduce tension, stress and depression, and sleep improves as a result. Ayurveda has many herbs such as Sarpagandha that can bring good sleep, but none of them should be taken on your own without a doctor’s visit and a proper dose.
After starting Ayurvedic medicine, do not stop the existing allopathic medicines suddenly. Keep both together initially and reduce gradually under your doctor’s supervision with regular BP checks, because the body is used to them and stopping suddenly can cause many problems.
Diet:
- Stop market snacks and take fresh, light food
- Avoid very spicy, salty and sour food
- Avoid pickles and fermented items
Ayurvedic Panchakarma treatment will also be beneficial:
- Virechana karma
- Basti karma
- Shirodhara
At such a time, stay away from negative thoughts and always think positively.
If you go for a walk every morning and practise yoga, pranayama and meditation, you will benefit faster.
For better results, practise the following regularly:
- Paschimottanasana
- Chakrasana
- Pavanamuktasana
- Pranayama
