Blood Pressure: How Can Ayurveda Naturally Regulate High and Low Blood Pressure Without Medication? - #15985

I recently went for a routine check-up, and my doctor told me that my blood pressure was higher than normal. This came as a huge surprise because I have always considered myself to be relatively healthy. I do not eat too much salt, I exercise a few times a week, and I try to stay away from junk food as much as possible. However, despite all of this, my blood pressure readings were still concerning. The doctor suggested that if I do not control it now, I may have to start medication in the future, which is something I definitely want to avoid. After hearing this news, I started tracking my blood pressure at home, and I noticed that it fluctuates quite a bit. Some days it is normal, other days it spikes unexpectedly. I cannot figure out what is triggering it. I have a stressful job, and I know stress can play a big role in high blood pressure, but I also eat relatively well, so I am confused about what else could be causing this. On the other hand, my mother has the opposite problem—her blood pressure is too low. She often feels dizzy, especially when she stands up too quickly, and sometimes she even faints. I have read that both high and low blood pressure can be dangerous, but I do not want to rely on modern medicine alone. I have always been interested in Ayurveda and natural healing, so I started wondering if there are Ayurvedic remedies that can help balance blood pressure in both directions—whether it is too high or too low. What does Ayurveda say about the causes of imbalanced blood pressure? Are there specific herbs, foods, or lifestyle changes that can help naturally regulate it? I have heard that garlic, ashwagandha, and hibiscus tea can help lower high blood pressure, but do they actually work? What about low blood pressure—are there Ayurvedic treatments that can prevent dizziness and fainting? Also, does Ayurveda focus on root causes rather than just managing symptoms? I want to understand whether stress, digestion, or even emotional health play a role in blood pressure issues. Has anyone successfully controlled their blood pressure through Ayurveda? If so, I would love to hear what worked and what did not.
