Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
There are 2 types of hypertension primary and secondary, in that primary hypertension is called as Essential hypertension and it is the most common type and affects 90-95% of hypertensive patients without any cause. There are 4types of Murdhnitaila i.e. Abyanga, Seka, picchu, and basti, in that shirodara stands second place. Shirodhara comes under Bahyasnehanachikitsa which mainly works on the Manovahasrotas. As essential hypertension as no cause but stress is the major triggering factor so by doing shirodhara it relives the stress there by it decreases the hypertension. A few studies done on TakraDhara in Essential hypertension, were proved to be effective, only few studies are carried out on TailaDhara in Essential hypertension, hence, the present study was conducted to compare the efficacy of Takra and TailaDhara in Essential hypertension. This is a comparative clinical study, 30 patients diagnosed as essential hypertension were selected and assigned randomly into two groups of 15 patients each. In Group A the patients were given Takradhara and in Group B with Tailadhara(Balataila). The subjective and objective parameters were assessed and statistically analyzed. The reduction of Systolic blood pressure and Diastolic blood pressure is statistically better in Group A then Group B, but overall response is not statistically significant between the group. Response based on Symptoms is statistically similar in two groups studied but clinically tailadhara had a good result.
