In modern it is called the silent killer because it often has no clear symptoms. Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of healing, explains hypertension as an imbalance of Doshas that affect the heart and blood vessels (raktavaha strotas ) ,though not directly mentioned as a separate disease entity ,it can be correlated with conditions involving Rakta ,Vata and Manas vitiation such as Raktagata Vata,Raktapitta,and Vyana vata Avarana .Rasashastra and Bhaishajya Kalpana is one among the speacialized branch of Ayurveda dealing with potent Rasaushadies to balance Vata and purify Rakta , the primary factors involved in hypertension.
