Hello, Your newly detected high blood pressure (180/110 mmHg) with headaches, present for less than 1 month, and no medication started yet, indicates a hypertensive urgency. From an Ayurvedic perspective, this reflects Vata–Pitta aggravation, Rakta dushti, Manasika hetu (stress involvement), and Prana–Vyana Vata imbalance.

⚠️ Important safety note (please read carefully): A BP of 180/110 is dangerously high. Ayurvedic medicines can be used as supportive therapy, but this level requires immediate evaluation by a physician. Do NOT delay starting modern antihypertensive medicine if advised. Ayurveda works best along with monitoring and timely intervention.

Your treatment will focus on rapid BP stabilization, Pitta–Vata pacification, stress reduction, and Rakta shodhana, while emphasizing urgent monitoring.

🔎 Recommended Investigations (Do these urgently / within 48–72 hours) 1. Blood Pressure monitoring (twice daily record) 2. ECG 3. Kidney Function Test (Urea, Creatinine) 4. Serum Electrolytes 5. Lipid Profile 6. Fasting Blood Sugar / HbA1c 7. Fundus examination (if headache persists)

💊 Internal Medicines (Supportive – not a substitute for emergency care) Phase 1 – First 7–10 days (BP calming + Headache control) 1. Sarpagandha Ghan Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after meals ⚠️ Should be taken only with BP monitoring 2. Arjuna Ksheerapaka / Arjunarishta (diluted) – 10 ml + equal water twice daily after meals 3. Brahmi Vati (plain) – 1 tablet at bedtime 4. Guduchi Satva – 500 mg once daily in the morning

Phase 2 – 4–6 weeks (Stabilization + Stress control) 1. Mukta Pishti – 125 mg with honey or rose water once daily in the morning

2. Ashwagandha (low dose) – 250 mg at bedtime – Helps stress-related BP rise ❌ Avoid high doses initially

🌿 External & Supportive Therapies 1. Shirodhara / Shiroabhyanga with Brahmi oil – 2–3× weekly 2. Foot massage with Brahmi or Ksheerabala Taila – daily at night 3. Cold water splash on face during headache episodes.

🥗 Diet & Lifestyle Recommendations ❌ Avoid (Strict) 1. Salt (very minimal) 2. Pickles, papad, packaged foods 3. Tea, coffee, energy drinks 4. Late nights and screen exposure 5. Anger, stress triggers ✅ Include 1. Light, cooling foods 2. Lauki, ridge gourd, cucumber 3. Barley, oats, rice 4. Coconut water (once daily) 5. Garlic (1 clove boiled, daily) 6. Plenty of plain water

🧘🏻‍♂️ Yoga & Pranayama (Only gentle practices) 1. Anulom Vilom – 10–15 minutes 2. Chandra Bhedana – 5 minutes 3. Bhramari – 7 repetitions

❌ Avoid Kapalbhati, fast Surya Namaskar, or strain

Sleep routine Sleep by 10 pm No screens after 9 pm Quiet, dark room

🕉️ Follow-up & Duration BP should be rechecked daily If BP remains >160/100 after 48–72 hours → start allopathic medicine immediately Headache worsening, chest pain, vision issues → emergency care required Ayurvedic medicines can be continued for 6–8 weeks

✨ Ayurveda can help control BP, but a reading of 180/110 must never be ignored. Early intervention prevents stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.

With kind regards, Dr. Sumi MS (Ayu)

Hello MANAS RANJAN

At your age a BP reading of 180/110 Is very high and should not be managed only by monitoring Even if there are know any strong symptoms, this level of BP can suddenly affect the heart, brain, kidneys, or eyes, so it needs to be controlled without delay

At this state, there is no single or mild medicine that is saved to start on your own in Ayurvedic practice. Also, when BP is high, we first bring it down with proper medical treatment. After the readings, come down to SA for range, Ayurvedic medicines can then be added to help maintain control and prevent further rise

Once evaluated properly, certain heart supporting Ayurvedic medicines can be used, but they should not be started without supervision when the bp is very high

For now, avoid extra salt, completely stay away from spicy fried food. Avoid tea, coffee stress and try to rest and keep the mind calm. Please consult a doctor as soon as possible and start treatment after BP is controlled. Long term vedic support can be planned safely.

Hello​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Manas Ranjan,

Thank you for sharing this information. I feel obliged to talk to you very frankly and honestly as your blood pressure reading is extremely high and on no account should it be left to home treatment only with remedies or syrups.

YOUR CONCERN & CURRENT STATUS

Based on the information that you have given:

• Age: 56 years• BP reading: 180 / 110 mmHg • High BP present for less than 1 month • No BP medicine taken till now • Only monitoring BP

⚠️ This level of blood pressure is what doctors call SEVERE HYPERTENSION.

VERY IMPORTANT MEDICAL WARNING (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY)

👉 A blood pressure of 180/110 is NOT something that should be managed at home 👉 It has a very high risk of: – Stroke – Heart attack – Kidney damage – Eye damage – Sudden complications

❗ At this level, waiting or trying only syrups/herbs can lead to trouble.

YOUR IMMEDIATE ACTION PLAN

STEP 1 – GETTING PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL HELP TODAY

– Kindly see a doctor or a cardiologist without any delay – If BP is still more than 180/110, you must either take an ambulance or go to the nearest hospital / emergency department by your own immediately –Your safety depends on this decision and there is no bargaining here.

CAN AYURVEDA BE THE ONLY SOLUTION TO THIS BP?

Not at all — at least not at this level initially

Long term BP control can be very well managed through Ayurveda but:

• It is necessary that modern medicine be used to bring BP down safely first • Once stable, Ayurveda can be used to reduce dependency, control stress, and prevent recurrence

REASONS WHY PURE AYURVEDA IS NOT SUGGESTED NOW

At BP 180/110:

• A sudden drop can be hazardous • Slow-acting remedies would not be enough • Emergency intervention is necessary

The ancient Indian system of medicine is helpful only after the patient is stable, not during a crisis.

WHAT AYURVEDA WILL BE ABLE TO DO?

After blood pressure is brought under control and normalized (below 140/90), Ayurveda can provide the following benefits:

• Stress relief • Nervous system soothing • Sleep improvement • Long-term BP regulation

(Only if accompanied by supervision and regular BP monitoring)

LIFESTYLE MEASURES TO TAKE IMMEDIATELY (TODAY) ✔️ Completely eliminate salt from your diet (no additional salt) ✔️ Do not consume tea, coffee, or alcohol ✔️ Avoid anger, stress, and overexertion ✔️ Rest adequately ✔️ Do not skip meals

Do not practice yoga, pranayama, or exercise at this moment.

NECESSARY INVESTIGATIONS (DOCTOR WILL ADVISE)

• ECG • Kidney function tests • Lipid profile • Fundus (eye) examination

These examinations help in early detection of any organ damage.

WHEN TO CALL FOR AN EMERGENCY IMMEDIATELY

If you suffer from:

• Headache • Dizziness • Chest pain • Blurred vision • Nausea or vomiting • Shortness of breath

👉 You should go the hospital without any delay.

– Blood pressure at 180/110 is an emergency situation level – Please do not wait or try to self-medicate – Under a doctor’s supervision, start modern BP medicine right away – Later, Ayurveda can be introduced as a safe long-term control measure

Your safety and life matter way more than just trying to avoid medicines.

I wish you fast stabilization and good health – Dr. Snehal ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌Vidhate

Internal Medicines- 1 Sarpagandha Ghan Vati – 1 tablet morning + 1 tablet night after food 2 Arjunarishta – 20 ml + 40 ml warm water after breakfast & dinner 3 Prabhakar Vati – 1 tablet morning + 1 tablet night 4 Mukta Pishti – 125 mg morning + night with water 5 Jatamansi Churna – 2 gm night with warm water

Daily Must-Do Walk 30–45 min morning (slow pace) No salt after 6 PM (total salt <4 gm/day) Sleep 10 PM – 6 AM strictly Stress: Anulom-Vilom 10 min daily

Diet Give only: Moong khichdi + ghee, brown rice 50 g, lauki/karela sabzi, pomegranate

Avoid completely: salt >4 gm, tea/coffee after 2 PM, packaged food, non-veg, alcohol

Start Sarpagandha + Arjunarishta tonight – safe & very effective. But please see doctor tomorrow for baseline check – 180/110 needs monitoring. You will be completely normal very soon!

Regards Dr Gursimran Jeet Singh MD Panchakarma
