According to Ayurveda, high blood pressure involves all the Doshas, the heart, and the blood vessels. We can see signs and symptoms of derangement of VataDosha mainly that of ‘Vyanavayu’ in high blood pressure. The treatment is to correct the balance of VataDosha. Pitta visiation is also seen often and should be treated.
People with Pitta and Vata predominant constitution and Pitta and Vata imbalance, are more prone to hypertension than any other.
Unprocessed anger, frustration, irritability, anxiety and fear leads to mal-adaptation of the endocrine system, which then leads to conditions like hypertension. Treatment is based on bringing these imbalances back to normal.
