In Ayurveda, high blood pressure (or hypertension) is often associated with an imbalance in the Vata and Pitta doshas, which can be aggravated by stress, poor circulation, or imbalances in the heart and circulatory system. After a major surgery like open-heart surgery, it is common for the body to experience fluctuations in blood pressure due to the physical and emotional stress of the procedure, along with potential changes in diet, lifestyle, or medications. To address high blood pressure, Ayurveda focuses on balancing the doshas and supporting heart health through a holistic approach. Herbs like Arjuna, which is known to strengthen the heart and regulate blood pressure, and Ashwagandha, which reduces stress and supports overall vitality, can be beneficial. Additionally, adopting a diet that includes heart-healthy foods—such as whole grains, green leafy vegetables, ghee, and foods rich in potassium (like bananas and sweet potatoes)—can help. Regular exercise like walking, yoga, and pranayama (breathing exercises) can also support circulation and calm the nervous system, reducing high blood pressure. It’s important to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner to create a personalized treatment plan that takes into account your specific health history and needs.

Open heart surgery is quite a huge step, sounds like you've been through a lot. Recovery is always a journey, right? High blood pression post-surgery can result from several factors like lifestyle, diet, or even stress. Let’s talk about some things you might try from an Ayurvedic perspective. First off, you need to look into balancing your doshas, especially Vata and Pitta. High blood pressure is often associated with Pitta imbalance, sometimes coupled with Vata disruption. Start with your diet; favor foods that are cooling and grounding. Try to stick to whole grains like barley, and fruit like pomegranate and grapes. These can help calm Pitta. Reduce spicy, oily, and salty food intakes; they can provoke Pitta and Vata more. Hydration is key, but be mindful. Don't overdo with ice-cold drinks, better to go for room temperature – just plain ol' water is fine too. Tulsi and hibiscus teas can be added to your routine; they're known to have calming properties for hypertension. Routine is gold here. Incorporate a regular yoga or pranayama routine into your day. Simple breathing exercises like Nadi Shodhana or Anulom Vilom pranayama can be soothing. They’re known to relax the nervous system and can help lower blood pressure. Meditation, I cannot stress this enough, is another ranbow to include - even just 10 minutes a day. Your mind's response to stress plays a big role in blood pressure management, can't discount it. Abhyanga, self-massage with sesame oil, can ground Vata and soothe Pitta, try it once or twice a week. A sneak in tip - make sure you're getting enough sleep too, sometimes forget it but it's vital to the whole process. And as you might already know, It’s super important to keep up with medications your doctor’s prescribed. Ayurvedic methods can complement them but should not replace conventional treatment, especially post-surgery. Please, keep in touch with your healthcare provider, you got to make sure everything’s aligned, right?
