What is the best Ayurvedic remedy for high BP and natural blood pressure control?

Question

I’ve been diagnosed with high blood pressure for the past year, and my readings are usually around 150/90. I’ve been prescribed medication, but I want to explore natural methods to control my blood pressure and reduce my reliance on medications. I came across Ayurvedic remedies for high BP, which focus on balancing the body and using natural herbs for long-term health improvement.

From what I’ve read, Ayurveda treats high BP by calming the Vata and Pitta doshas, improving circulation, and strengthening the heart. Some of the commonly recommended herbs include Arjuna, Sarpagandha, Brahmi, and Jatamansi. Ayurvedic formulations like Mukta Vati, Hridayarnava Ras, and Dashmoolarishta are also said to be effective for managing blood pressure.

Has anyone used an Ayurvedic remedy for high BP? Which herbs or formulations worked best for you? Also, how long does it take to see real improvements in blood pressure levels?

Another thing—do Ayurvedic remedies for high BP require major lifestyle and dietary changes, like reducing salt intake or increasing physical activity? What else should I consider while using Ayurveda to control BP?

Would love to hear real experiences from people who have successfully controlled their BP using Ayurvedic methods!

Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to managing high blood pressure by focusing on balancing the doshas, improving circulation, and strengthening heart health. Herbs like Arjuna and Sarpagandha are commonly used to support cardiovascular health and regulate blood pressure. Brahmi and Jatamansi help reduce stress and calm the mind, which can also lower blood pressure. Ayurvedic formulations like Mukta Vati and Dashmoolarishta are beneficial in managing hypertension. Typically, improvements can be seen within 4-6 weeks, but consistency is key. Along with herbal remedies, it’s important to make lifestyle adjustments, such as reducing salt intake, managing stress, and incorporating physical activity to achieve long-term results. Ayurveda encourages a balanced diet, restful sleep, and practices like yoga or meditation to support overall heart health.
