Hypertension has become a Global Health problem. Many people suffer from this worldwide. But only a few are aware of this deadly disease and its consequences. Those who are aware of their high blood pressure don�t take medicines regularly because of many side effects caused by various Anti–hypertensive drugs. Ayurveda has a different vision in understanding the pathogenesis of a disease in terms of Nidana, Dosha, Dushya, Srotasa involved etc. The present study was carried out on 30 patients with an objective to find an alternative, reliable, safe and cost effective Ayurvedic treatment for Hypertension. Patients were subjected through an Ayurvedic formulation prepared in the form of Vati. The treatment shows excellent improvement in 28.57% patients, marked improvement in 57.14% patients and mild improvement in 3.57% patients. The ingredients used in Vati mainly have Hridaya, Medhya, Mutrala, Vata Anulomaka, Nidrajanana and Raktadaba–shamaka effect. Almost all the drugs have Tridoshahara properties. The preparation mainly has Tikta Kashaya Pradhana Rasa, Laghu, Snighda Guna, Sheeta Virya, Katu Vipaka which helps in management of Hypertension.
