Low Blood Pressure Range - #18446

Zoey

For the past few months, I’ve been feeling constantly tired, dizzy, and weak. At first, I thought it was just stress, but recently, I checked my BP at home, and it was much lower than what’s considered normal. My readings usually fall within the low blood pressure range, around 90/60 mmHg or even lower sometimes. I even had a few episodes where I felt like I was going to faint after standing up too quickly. I went to a general physician, and they told me that low BP isn’t always a major problem unless it causes symptoms. But in my case, it is causing problems—I feel exhausted all the time, my hands and feet are always cold, and sometimes I even get blurry vision. I was advised to drink more water and add more salt to my food, but I haven’t seen much improvement. I started researching the low blood pressure range, and I found that Ayurveda takes a very different approach compared to Western medicine. I read that it could be linked to an imbalance in Vata dosha or poor circulation. Doctor, is that true? Can Ayurvedic treatments help bring my BP back to a healthy level? I also came across some Ayurvedic herbs like Ashwagandha, Licorice (Mulethi), and Shilajit that are said to help stabilize blood pressure. Do these actually work for someone like me, who is always within the low blood pressure range? If so, what’s the correct way to take them? Should I consume them in powder form, tea, or capsules? Additionally, my digestion has been weak lately—I feel bloated and don’t have much appetite. Could my low blood pressure range be related to poor digestion or gut health? Are there any Ayurvedic remedies that can improve both digestion and blood circulation at the same time? Another thing I’ve been wondering about is my daily routine. I tend to skip breakfast, and I work long hours sitting at a desk. Could this be making my BP drop even further? Does Ayurveda recommend any specific daily habits or dietary changes for people who consistently fall in the low blood pressure range? Lastly, I’ve read that Abhyanga (Ayurvedic oil massage) can help improve circulation and stabilize BP. Is this something I should try? If so, which oils would work best for my condition? Doctor, I’m really tired of feeling this way every day. If Ayurveda has a natural way to improve my BP and energy levels, I’d love to give it a try. Please suggest what steps I should take to manage my low blood pressure range safely and effectively.

Low blood pressure (Hypotension) in Ayurveda is often linked to Vata imbalance and poor circulation. Symptoms like dizziness, cold extremities, and weakness indicate weak Ojas (vital energy) and low digestive fire (Agni). Ayurvedic remedies like Ashwagandha, Licorice (Mulethi), and Shilajit help strengthen the nervous system, improve blood flow, and balance Vata. Ashwagandha can be taken as a capsule or powder with warm milk, Mulethi as herbal tea, and Shilajit in resin form with warm water. Pippali (long pepper) and Ginger also stimulate circulation and enhance digestion.
Skipping breakfast and prolonged sitting can worsen low BP by reducing metabolism and circulation. Ayurveda recommends a daily routine (Dinacharya) with a warm, nourishing breakfast like soaked almonds, dates, and ghee. Hydration with herbal teas and salted lemon water is crucial. Digestive strength can be improved with Triphala, Ajwain (carom seeds), and Hing (asafoetida). Regular movement, gentle yoga (Surya Namaskar, Vrikshasana), and breathing exercises (Anulom Vilom, Bhramari) help maintain circulation and energy levels.
Abhyanga (oil massage) with warm Sesame oil or Mahanarayana Taila stimulates blood flow and relaxes the nervous system. A warm foot massage before bed helps regulate BP fluctuations. Mild Swedana (steam therapy) can also improve circulation. Ayurvedic treatment, combined with a balanced diet, hydration, and an active lifestyle, can naturally restore energy levels and stabilize blood pressure. Try these holistic approaches, and your BP may gradually return to a healthier range.

I’m truly sorry to hear about your experience with fatigue and low blood pressure. In Ayurveda, low blood pressure can indeed be linked to Vata dosha imbalances, as well as weak Agni (digestive fire) and poor circulation. Let’s explore a comprehensive approach tailored to your situation. Firstly, incorporate a nourishing breakfast that stabilizes your blood sugar and provides energy; opt for warm oatmeal or khichdi made with soaked mung beans and spices like ginger and cumin. Avoid skipping meals, and eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day to support digestion and circulation. Regarding herbs, Ashwagandha and Licorice (Mulethi) can be beneficial. You can take Ashwagandha in powdered form with warm milk or water, 1 teaspoon daily, while Licorice can be consumed as a tea by steeping a small piece in hot water, drinking it once or twice a day. Shilajit, taken in a pea-sized amount mixed in warm water, can also enhance energy levels. To support circulation, consider doing Abhyanga with warm sesame oil or Brahmi oil, gently massaging it into your skin for about 10 to 15 minutes before your shower; this boosts circulation and grounding Vata energy. Lastly, stay well-hydrated, and try to include a small pinch of rock salt in your warm water, enhancing fluid balance. Consistently practicing gentle yoga or stretches can further improve circulation. If symptoms persist or worsen, seeking further medical guidance is essential. Remember, these recommendations should progressively improve your vitality and well-being.
