As a 50-year-old woman struggling to control hypertension with medications..
As a 50-year-old woman struggling to control hypertension with medications alone, I’ve noticed associated stress and sleep issues. Can Ayurveda suggest lifestyle modifications and specific herbs to lower my blood pressure, considering my history of familial high blood pressure?
Ayurveda emphasizes stress reduction techniques, dietary modifications such as reducing salt intake and specific herbs like Arjuna and Brahmi to support heart health and manage hypertension. Lifestyle changes including regular exercise and maintaining a stress-free environment are also beneficial, especially considering your familial history of high blood pressure. For treatment therapies, taking a few sessions of the shirodhara should reduce stress and improve Sleep.
