ABSTRACT

A state of complete physical, mental, spiritual, and social well-being is defined as health. Hypertension is the most frequent common disease worldwide. It's also known as the silent killer because most patients are asymptomatic. However, it causes damage to the target organ and is a substantial risk factor for coronary vascular disorders such as stroke and myocardial infarction. It is responsible for about 6% of all deaths in the world. In India, hypertension is directly responsible for 57% of all stroke deaths and 24% of all coronary artery deaths. Hypertension can also cause nephrosclerosis and peripheral artery disease. Modernization and urbanisation have made life easier, but such sedentary and stressful lifestyle have become a threat to humanity. Hypertension is one of the most common lifestyle Hazard of now a day. Ayurvedic texts do not provide a precise definition of hypertension. According to Acharya Charaka, such diseases can be treated without the use of nomenclature by determining the involvement of Dosha, Dushya, Srotas, and other factors. The purpose of this study was to determine the elements that cause Essential hypertension as well as its Samprati (pathogenesis).
