Journal Title: Journal of Biological and Scientific Opinion - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Hypertension (HTN) is one among the fiery health problems of the present era. Since it does not cause symptoms usually for many years until a vital organ is damaged. It is identified as the single most important risk factor in both coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular accidents. It may also directly lead to congestive heart failure and renal failure. The lifelong and palliative treatment of HTN in western medicine induces many side effects. Therefore to attain and to maintain good health, hypertensive patients are looking towards Ayurveda. Therefore, it is an important area for researchers and scholars of Ayurveda to investigate the possibility of managing HTN with drugs which have lesser side effects, especially considering the chronicity and lifelong nature of the disease. The present study was carried out on 50 patients of Essential HTN with brahmyadi compound, ashwagandha churna and shilajatu vati for a period of one month with milk as anupana. Observation was done before the treatment. 3 mid test assessments were done on 7th, 14th and 21st day. Post test assessment was done on 30th day. Intervention revealed that 22 had marked improvement, 18 had moderate improvement, 7 had mild improvement and no improvement was noticed in 3 individuals.
