🩺 Manage high blood pressure with Natural herbs 💉🎚️

💠Ayurvedic Point of View on High Blood Pressure:


Ayurvedic Treatment for High Blood Pressure – Ayurveda suggested different names to demonstrate the high blood pressure such as Uch raktachap, Raktagata vata, Rakta sampida, Rakta vriddhi, Rakta chapa, Dhamani pratichaya, Raktavata, etc.

In Ayurveda, the process of blood pressure can be understood by functions of Prana vayu, Vyana vayu, Sadhaka pitta, Avalambaka kapha, Rasa, and Rakta dhatu which are situated in Hridya (heart).

According to Ayurvedic Acharyas, vitiation of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha dosha (primordial factors), asthi, meda, etc., affects the pressure of blood, and therefore, Kapha dosha vitiation (avalambaka kapha) increases cardiac strength, further vitiated Pitta (sadhak pitta) and Vata (vyan vata) dosha increases the level of blood and resu lts into high blood pressure.

If a person starts taking Ayurvedic treatment for Blood Pressure in the initial stage, the condition can be cured and a person can prevent their body from various complications.


Pathogenesis of High Blood Pressure:


Ayurvedic Treatment for High Blood Pressure – Excessive intake of salt, oily, fried diet, daytime sleep, high consumption of alcohol, mental stress leads to vitiation of Avalambaka kapha and psychological stress includes aggravation of Prana vayu. Later on, prana vayu affects the Hridya (heart) and Avalambaka kapha induces exaggerated contractility of the heart, while aggravated vyana vayu increases gati (speed), the force of ejection of blood from the heart.

Al these causes result in forceful expulsion of blood through blood vessels (dhamanis), and ultimately lead to increased resistance in vessels which cause High blood pressure.

The involvement of mind factors also plays an important role in causing high blood pressure. The disturbed or imbalanced Raja and Tama bhava’s (the mind factors that responsible for morbidity), definitely contribute to the pathogenesis of blood high pressure.

  • Hridroga (heart disease)
  • Vrika roga (renal disease)
  • Madhumeha (diabetes)

High blood pressure is asymptomatic in most of the cases, but the common symptoms are:

  • Stupor (moorcha)
  • Vomiting (klama)
  • Raised body temperature (jwara)
  • Irritability (krodhaprachurta)

❗Diabetes prevention ❗

Diabetes is not a disease but a lifestyle disorder. 

Western system or system of medicine has convinced that diabetes mellitus is a disease. 

The change in the insulin levels result in two kinds of disorders that are associated with diabetes. 

1 . Type – 1 Diabetes – Your immune system attacks the cells inside the pancreas responsible for producing insulin. As a result, you don’t produce insulin. 

2. Type – 2 Diabetes – Your body doesn’t use the insulin produced by your pancreas. As a result, the glucose produced by the insulin is stored in the blood cells only and there is a top sugar level in your blood. 

Both the conditions cause complications and chronic diseases. Now diabetes is not risky, but the diseases that diabetes brings to your body can be lethal. WHO has announced diabetes is an epidemic condition—7th reason for the deaths around the world because of health risks

Is there a cure for diabetes?

When you say cure, it means you are trying to reverse the damages that has occurred in your body because of the condition. In the western system of medicine, there have been so a good deal of research studies and reports on diabetes cure. 

Understand that you should not cure diabetes but adjust your insulin to a normal level based on your body. Insulin gives glucose (the energy molecules) to your cells and they help you function. If you have a lifestyle that dissipates this energy in your body, then your insulin level differs from the other person

◾reasons for diabetes?


Lifestyle is the primary reason for diabetes. Insulin is an enzyme, and the secretion of it depends on the body’s metabolism. 

The metabolism depends on the food, sleep and physical activity of an individual. Let’s say you eat so much deep fried chicken, your body will face a lot of internal inflammation because of the excessive AGE molecule present in the fried chicken. 

Another major reason for diabetes is hereditary. They occur because your great-great-grandfather had an abnormal insulin level. 

The abnormal insulin level will not kill you, but it affects the other parts of the body and that results in risky health conditions. So, if you correct your food and lifestyle diabetes complications become lesser and sugar level is normal. 

There are four lifestyle habits which cause high risk to become diabetic and develop many complications at a younger age.

Skipping Breakfast 

When you are running late to the office in the morning, you skip breakfast and rush with a cup of coffee. If you don’t break the fasting in the morning by sending some calories to your body, there occurs a chain reaction in your body which leads to disrupted insulin secretion. This bad habit will affect the sugar level in your blood and the chances of getting TYPE-2 Diabetes is high. 

Packaged beverages & food 

The packaged foods are ultra-processed and they have a tendency to disturb the cellular structure. A disturbed cell molecule brings abnormal insulin secretion. The chemical constituents present in the ultra processed beverages like sodas, soft drinks and carbonated drinks damages the cell’s functioning level. Also, the preservatives added in these packed containers can create an overeating pattern in your body. The packaged food contains trans-fat which increases the risk of cholesterol level in blood and that causes the risk of type-2 diabetes 

Sleep Deprivation 

According to the National Sleep Foundation, “In fact, sleep deprivation is an often overlooked but significant risk factor for type 2 diabetes, a disease that involves too much glucose (or sugar) in the blood and increases the risk of heart disease.”

Inadequate sleep leads to an increase in junk food, carbohydrates and sugar cravings. Also when there is little to minimal sleep, you are tired and prone to be less active. Your sugar level also depends on the amount of exercises you can do. 

Emotional Stress 

Stress and diabetes have a powerful link to each other. A diabetic person cannot experience stress and consecutive distress can lead to disrupted hormone levels, disturbing the functioning of insulin. Stress can activate the hypothalamus pituitary-adrenal axis and central nervous system. This brings either a high or low level of cortisol and sex hormones which plays a huge role in affecting the insulin in the blood. Avoiding stressful circumstances can lower your chances of becoming diabetic. 

Conclusion 

Understanding what you do wrong is more important than finding a solution. Forming recent habits to change your lifestyle starts from breaking the bad ones first. 

It is always easy to stick to the don’ts first before you take upon your do’s. If you have any of these awful lifestyle habits, it leads to a high risk of developing complications of diabetes.

◾12 Benefits of a Panchakarma Cleanse ◾

According to the ancient texts, here are the twelve benefits to a yearly Panchakarma Cleanse:

  1. Restores youth: Notice those who regularly perform Panchakarma, good chances are you won't be able to tell their age.

  2. Removes mental and physical fatigue. Once the vata, pitta and kapha are balanced, the mind and the body feels lighter and energetic. I do not eat as much as I used to and have much more energy.

  3. Reduces perturbed Vata. The generous oil massages, steaming and internal medications help reduce vata. Pertrubed vata can lead to joint issues and arthritis, just like lack of lubrication leads to squeaky joints in machinery. My joints are noticeably more supple and flexible.

  4. Improves eyesight. My eye sight is pretty bad to begin with (-8 and -9), I have not seen any changes in my sight but my eyes are certainly not as dry as before.

  5. Increases strength. My body is noticeably stronger. I am able to lift my daughter, do shoulder stands and lift heavy furniture without strain or fatigue.

  6. Longevity. I plan to do a panchakarma every year, we will see about longevity. Its not hard to believe.

  7. Promotes good sleep. This has certainly been my experience once the soothing Pizhichil massage was done.

  8. Tone the skin. My extremely dry skin has somewhat calmed down. I continue to have an oil bath at night, as was prescribed by my physician.

  9. Tolerance against injuries. It has been a month since my Panchakarma, I have not noticed anything particular but usually, I am always bumping into things and have bruises on me. I don't see any sore spots on my body.

  10. Protection from wind and phlegm related diseases: I have not caught a cold yet inspite of shifting my home, having major stressors in my significant relationships and embarking on this new purpose. I normally do fall sick when stressed.

  11. Tolerance against diseases: The massages received during a panchakarma strengthen the flow of lymph, blood, tones the flesh,tendons and nerves, helps strengthen the bones, teeth and nails and improves the health of our marrow and sexual organs and fluids. My nails are noticeably clearer and my teeth are whiter.

  12. Improves skin color: I am certainly a more asthetically pleasing skin tone than before. From dark honey I have gone to a more golden tone, which I like better.
