A Review of Selected Clinical Studies of Essential Hypertension in Ayurveda
Hypertension is a major problem faced by the public in present era. The prevalence of hypertension ranges from 20-40% in urban adults and 12-17% among rural adults. The number of people with hypertension is captured to increase from 118 million in 2000 to 214 million in 2025, with nearly equal numbers of men and women.[1] A survey of 26,000 adults in South India showed a hypertension prevalence of 20% (men 23% and women 17%) but 67% were unaware of their diagnosis. Most of the hypertensive remain undetected and noticed only after occurrence of stroke or some major diseases. Control of Hypertension is also improper and insufficient. This calls for urgent prevention and control measures for hypertension.[2]Hypertension is uniquely said to be a silent killer. In classical Texts there is no reference regarding Essential Hypertension as the naming of a disease is not important but the condition of doshas we have to assess, for the proper treatment or management. A few clinical studies being conducted on Essential Hypertension throughout India was selected. [3]This is an attempt to review the 5 clinical studies of Essential Hypertension with their influence in the samprapti vighatana and in the proper management level.
