Collection: Hypertension
High blood pressure rarely announces itself. It builds quietly over years while the body compensates, which is exactly why Ayurveda treats it as a whole-system imbalance rather than a single number to push down.
In Ayurvedic terms most hypertension is driven by aggravated Vata and Pitta moving through the channels (srotas), often on a foundation of weak digestion (Agni) and accumulated Ama. The traditional approach works on that terrain: digestion, sleep, stress and circulation, not just the reading on the cuff.
The formulations below are the ones Ayurveda has long used to support healthy blood pressure. Our flagship is Ivy's Mukta Vati, a classical multi-herb tablet, supported by Arjuna and Hypershun for the heart and vessels.

Frequently asked questions
Which dosha causes high blood pressure?
High blood pressure is usually a Vata and Pitta problem, with Kapha playing a slower, quieter role. Ayurveda looks at which pattern is driving your particular case rather than treating hypertension as one single thing.
How long does Ivy's Mukta Vati take to work?
It is a classical multi-herb formula, not a fast-acting drug. Most people give it four to twelve weeks of daily use before judging it, alongside diet and lifestyle changes.
Can I take Ayurvedic blood pressure support with my medication?
Never stop prescribed medication on your own. Ayurvedic formulas are traditionally used as support, not a replacement, and some can interact with BP drugs. Talk to your doctor before combining them.
Does classical Ayurveda have a name for high blood pressure?
No. The classical texts were written centuries before the blood-pressure cuff existed, so none of them name it. Ayurveda reads it instead through the doshas and the body's channels.
