How Can Ayurveda Help Manage High BP Naturally?

Question

My blood pressure has been creeping up over the past few years, and now it’s officially in the “high” range. The doctor wants me to take medication, but I’d rather try a natural approach first. I’ve heard that High BP Ayurveda treatments can help regulate blood pressure without side effects, but I don’t know where to start.

Some people say diet plays a big role—like avoiding too much salty or spicy food. Others talk about herbs like Arjuna, Ashwagandha, and Brahmi. But do these actually work for High BP Ayurveda treatment, or is it just a temporary fix?

Also, I’m trying to manage stress better, since I know stress is a big trigger for high blood pressure. Do Ayurvedic practices like meditation and Pranayama actually help in reducing High BP Ayurveda?

If anyone has controlled their BP naturally through Ayurveda, I’d love to hear your experience! What worked for you?

High BP Ayurveda treatments can help regulate blood pressure naturally through herbs, diet, and lifestyle changes. Herbs like Arjuna, Ashwagandha, and Brahmi are known to improve heart health, reduce stress, and support BP management. They’re typically taken as capsules or teas. Arjuna especially helps strengthen heart muscles.

Diet plays a huge role—reducing salt, processed foods, and spicy meals is essential. Focus on fresh, Sattvic foods like fruits, veggies, and whole grains.

Stress management through meditation, Pranayama (breathing exercises), and Shirodhara (oil therapy) can also help reduce hypertension by calming the nervous system.
