Dr. Chanchal*, Dr. O. P. Singh and Dr. Sanjay Kumar Tripathi

ABSTRACT

Nowadays Hypertension is a major cause of premature death worldwide that may be due to the westernization, stressful life schedules, uncontrollable mental worries etc. In Ayurveda vitiated Vata Dosha was thought to be chief culprit but the concept goes in accordance that the disease is Tridoshaja. Raktagata vata and Vyanabala Vaishamya look more appropriate terms to replace modern terminology in Ayurveda. Since Vyana Vayu is mainly responsible for fluid circulation in our body therefore we can correlate Vyanbala Vaishamyata with Essential Hypertension. Essential Hypertension is one among them which can occur at any stage of life. It is also called as a silent killer or hidden killer because most of sufferers (85%) are asymptomatic and as per available reports, in more than 95% case of Hypertension underlying cause is not found. There are number of preparations described in Ayurveda text and Gokshuradi Kwath is one among them and it has wonderful properties that helps in curing Vyanavayu Vaishamyata.

Keywords: Raktagata vata and Vyanabala Vaishamya look more appropriate terms to replace modern terminology in Ayurveda.
