Do you take daily allopathic medicines for high blood pressure (hypertension)? Along with medical treatment, Ayurveda suggests certain herbs and lifestyle practices that may help support healthy blood pressure levels naturally.
Below are commonly recommended Ayurvedic BP-support remedies, their benefits, and suggested usage.
1. Arjun Kwath (Terminalia arjuna Decoction)
Arjuna is a well-known heart-supporting herb in Ayurveda. It helps strengthen cardiac muscles and may assist in maintaining healthy blood pressure.
How to take:
1–2 teaspoons decoction on an empty stomach in the morning.
2. Mukta Pishti (Pearl Calcium Preparation)
Prepared from purified pearl, Mukta Pishti is traditionally used to calm excess heat (Pitta imbalance) and promote relaxation, which may indirectly support BP control.
How to take:
About 125 mg with honey or water in the morning.
3. Sarpagandha Powder (Rauwolfia serpentina)
A famous Ayurvedic herb historically used for managing elevated blood pressure and improving sleep quality.
How to take:
250–500 mg daily with honey or warm herbal decoction.
4. Amla / Indian Gooseberry
Rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, Amla supports blood vessel health and circulation while acting as a natural detoxifier.
How to take:
1–2 teaspoons fresh amla juice in the morning on an empty stomach.
5. Ashwagandha
An adaptogenic herb that helps reduce stress and anxiety — one of the major contributors to high blood pressure.
How to take:
1–2 teaspoons powder with milk or honey.
6. Garlic (Lasun)
Garlic contains allicin compounds that may help relax blood vessels and support cardiovascular health.
How to take:
Eat 1–2 raw garlic cloves in the morning.
7. Triphala
Improves digestion, metabolism, and detoxification. Better gut health may help regulate blood pressure naturally.
