Understanding high blood pressure with Ayurveda: Causes from an Ayurvedic perspective
Before high blood pressure can be treated, it is important to know its causes. Ayurvedic teachings take a holistic approach and consider each person's individual constitution. Diseases always arise when the doshas are out of balance and metabolic waste products build up.
The imbalance then manifests itself as follows:
- Pitta dominance: heat, irritability, inner tension
- Vata disorder: restlessness, nervousness, stress
- Ama formation: metabolic residues put a strain on the heart and blood vessels
- Missing GroundingToo much activity, too little regeneration
Ayurvedic therapy for high blood pressure: Blood pressure-lowering herbs and routines
Once the causes have been determined, Ayurveda offers many holistic therapeutic approaches. Ayurvedic therapy for high blood pressure always goes hand in hand with a change in lifestyle and the integration of healthy routines. However, blood pressure-lowering Ayurvedic herbs such as ashwagandha or arjuna can also be used to support high blood pressure.
1. nutrition & digestion
In order to regain balance on a physical level, a type-appropriate ayurvedic diet is important. Blood pressure can also be lowered through diet - especially if you gradually change your habits.
In addition to the right foods, it is also important to eat meals in peace and without stress or distraction. Also pay attention to the following:
- Alkaline, cooling food
- Bitter substances & draining spices
- Main meal at lunchtime, light dinner
2. strengthen the heart and nerves
As high blood pressure puts a strain on your heart and circulation in particular, you can specifically strengthen them. On the one hand, blood pressure-lowering herbs such as ashwagandha can help with high blood pressure, which you can take as a tea against high blood pressure. On the other hand, relaxing routines to calm your pulse and nerves are also helpful to bring you back into a relaxed balance.
In Ayurveda, the following herbs and routines can strengthen the heart and nervous system:
- antihypertensive herbs such as Arjuna, ashwagandha, Amalaki
- Abhyanga oil massages for Vata balance
- Chandra Bhedana - moon breathing to calm the pulse
