Managing Low Blood Pressure with Herbal Medicine

Low blood pressure, or hypotension, is a medical condition where a person's blood pressure is lower than the normal range. It is measured in systolic pressure (the top number) and diastolic pressure (the bottom number). Normal blood pressure is around 120/80 mmHg (millimeters of mercury) or lower. Low blood pressure can sometimes indicate an underlying medical condition, such as dehydration, heart disease, thyroid disorders, or nerve damage.

Symptoms of Low Blood Pressure  

The symptoms of low blood pressure can vary depending on the severity of the condition but may include the following:  

  1. Dizziness or lightheadedness, particularly when standing up from a sitting or lying position.
  2. Fainting or feeling like you might pass out.
  3. Blurred vision.
  4. Nausea.
  5. Fatigue or weakness.
  6. Rapid or shallow breathing.
  7. Cold, clammy skin.
  8. Pale skin.
  9. Rapid or weak pulse.
  10. Confusion or difficulty concentrating.

In severe cases, hypotension can cause shock, a life-threatening condition requiring immediate medical attention. It occurs when the organs and tissues of the body do not receive enough oxygen and nutrients due to a lack of blood flow. Symptoms of shock include rapid heartbeat, shallow breathing, clammy skin, cold confusion, and loss of consciousness.

What Causes Low Blood Pressure  

  1. Dehydration: When the body loses too much water, it decreases blood volume and causes a drop in blood pressure.
  2. Medications: Diuretics, beta-blockers, and antidepressants can lower blood pressure as a side effect.
  3. Heart problems: Heart failure, heart attack, and arrhythmias reduce the amount of blood the heart pumps or disrupts the heart's ability to regulate blood pressure.
  4. Endocrine problems: Disorders of the endocrine system, such as Addison's disease, low blood sugar, and hypothyroidism, causes hormonal imbalances and affect blood pressure regulation.
  5. Blood loss: Severe bleeding due to trauma, surgery, or internal bleeding causes blood volume and blood pressure to drop.
  6. Infection: Sepsis, a severe bacterial infection, affects the body's ability to regulate blood pressure.
  7. Allergic reactions: Severe allergic reactions, or potentially life-threatening anaphylaxis, can cause low blood pressure by dilating blood vessels and reducing blood flow.
  8. Pregnancy: According to American Heart Association, during the first 24 weeks of pregnancy, some women do have a drop in blood pressure and increased blood volume due to hormonal changes.

Causes of Low Blood Pressure

Ayurveda and Low Blood Pressure  

Ayurveda, a traditional system of medicine, originated in India thousands of years ago. According to the Ayurvedic principle, hypotension or low blood pressure is caused due to five factors:  

  1. Weak digestion and poor absorption of nutrients
  2. Imbalance in the Vata dosha due to stress, anxiety, or excessive physical activity
  3. Dehydration
  4. Nutritional deficiencies
  5. Low blood sugar levels

 Ayurvedic treatments for low blood pressure typically focus on balancing the Vata dosha and improving circulation through herbs, dietary changes, and lifestyle modifications.
