Abstract

Hypertension, a condition affecting 1.28 billion adults globally, poses significant health risks, including damage to the heart, kidneys, and brain. Factors such as unhealthy lifestyles, poor dietary habits, obesity, and diabetes contribute to its prevalence. While pharmaceutical interventions are effective in controlling blood pressure, their adverse effects have led to growing interest in alternative therapies such as Ayurveda and Yoga. This review explores the potential of these traditional practices, individually and in combination, for managing hypertension. A thorough literature review was conducted using databases like PubMed and Google Scholar to analyze peer-reviewed studies up to 2024. Ayurvedic treatments, including therapies like Basti and Shirodhara and herbal formulations such as Raktadabashamak Ghana Vati and Sarpagandha Vati, have shown promise in reducing blood pressure. Similarly, Yoga practices, including OM chanting and Yoga Nidra, have demonstrated stress-reducing and blood pressure-lowering effects. Despite evidence supporting their efficacy, research on their integrated use remains limited. This review underscores the importance of combining Ayurveda and Yoga for holistic hypertension management. Further scientific studies are necessary to validate this integrative approach, which has the potential to offer a safer, non-pharmacological alternative for managing hypertension and improving overall well-being.
