Hi doctor, I am 37 years old and have a slight BP. Ranges Like diastolic 85 to 95/ systolic 125 to 135. I am on one 10 mg tablet per day (Cilnidipine salt) medication. I wanted to shift to Ayurvedic medicine like Divya Mukta Vati. Can you please advise? Is there any possibility to shift? What can be the possible doses? Whom do I consult an allopathic or an Ayurvedic doctor?
Hi. There are several medicines available in Ayurveda to manage blood pressure. But there is necessary to know its root cause. High blood pressure could be due to stress, anxiety, sleeplessness, abnormal lipid profile, liver problems, smoking, drinking, genetical or other unknown cause. If we go through the root cause then it can be manage very easily. You can take Ayurvedic medicines along with allopathic medicines with half an hour gap between both for one month and after one month gradually reduce the dose of allopathic medicines and ultimately stop it. But in this period you should regularly monitor your blood pressure level. Now you can take the following medicines and do pranayama regularly like anuloma vilom, Nadi sadhana, and bhramari. Meditation is also helpful in such conditions. 1.Monitor blood pressure level regularly. 2.Lipid profile. 3.LFT (liver function test). 4.USG (ultrasound) abdomen. 1.Sarpagandha Vati one tablet twice a day. 2.Mukta Vati one tablet twice a day. 3.Jatamansi tablet one tablet twice a day. 4.Brahmi Vati one tablet twice a day. 5.Saraswatharishtam 15 ml twice a day with an equal amount of water after meals. 1.Avoid spicy and fried junk foods. 2.Avoid smoking and drinking if you have these habits.
