AYURVEDIC ASPECT OF HYPOTENSION

As per ayurveda hypotension causes as a result of unbalanced vata dosha and the vitiation of agni (digestive fire). Mainly the hypofunctioning of vyana vata remains as a major cause behind low blood pressure. Vyana vata distributes the blood components uniformly all over the body and to push blood back in the periphery vyana vata needs support from ranjaka pitta and udana vayu. To push blood back in the heart and to prevent hypotension avlambhaka kapha supports vyana vata and when there is any imbalance in all the mentioned dosha conditions of hypotension may arise.
