Hypertension treatement in Ayurveda

March 17th, 2009

The medical term for high blood pressure is hypertension. Hypertension (high blood pressure) occurs when blood pressure stays elevated over time. Your heart pumping blood through your arteries puts pressure (tension) on the artery walls.

ayurveda hypertension treatement

Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of arteries. Blood pressure rises and falls during the day. When blood pressure stays elevated over time, it is called high blood pressure. High blood pressure is dangerous because it makes the heart work too hard and contributes to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). It increases the risk of heart disease and stroke, which are the first- and third-leading causes of death. The increased pressure of hypertension puts a strain on your circulatory system, which can ultimately lead to serious problems, such as congestive heart failure, stroke, heart disease, kidney failure and blindness.

Immunity

March 14th, 2009

Ways to Boost Natural Immunity
There is a theory of immunity in ayurveda called the beej-bhumi theory, which means “seed and land.” In this case, the body is analogous to the land, and infection or “bugs” are like seeds. If the body is filled with ama and lacking in ojas, the infection will find it to be fertile ground for spreading, just as land that is fertile will sprout many seeds.

If digestion is strong, and ojas rather than ama predominates in the body, then the seeds of infection will not be able to take hold, just as seeds will not take root in land that is infertile.
