Essential hypertension is high blood pressure that doesn't have any known etiopathology. Most of sufferers (85%) are asymptomatic and as per available reports, in more than 95% cases of hypertension under lying cause is not found. It is estimated that 600 million people are affected worldwide. Hypertension is a major risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Its impact is greatest on stroke, MI and end stage is renal failure as it’s known as a Silent Killer. Hence there is no direct reference of hypertension in Ayurvedic classics by name as well as by its path physiological views. Many works have been carried out on hypertension to evaluate the perfect diagnosis and mode of treatment on the basis of Different nomenclatures also have been adopted by Ayurveda experts like Raktagata Vata, Raktagata Vyana Vaisamya, Uccha Rakta Chapa, Raktavrita Vata, Siragata Vata etc. Keywords: Essential hypertension, Raktagata Vyana Vaisamya, Uccha Rakta Chapa, Cardiovascular diseases, Silent Killer.

1. Intravenous frusemide produced in normal subjects a prompt rise of plasma renin concentration which correlated with urinary sodium. 2. The renin response to frusemide was suppressed in patients with primary hyperaldosteronism. 3. In patients with low-renin hypertension and normal renin essential hypertension, the renin response to frusemide was similarly suppressed. 4. Suppression of the renin response to frusemide is therefore a feature of hypertension not confined to patients with primary hyperaldosteronism and low-renin hypertension. 5. Thus low-renin hypertension does not appear to constitute a distinct diagnostic entity. 6. It is suggested that suppression of the renin response is part of a long-term renal adaptation to high blood pressure.

Hypertension is the most pressing public health challenges. It is estimated that approximately 1 billion people are suffering from high blood pressure and the numbers are to increase to 2.5 billion by 2025. Raktachaapadhikya is the coined term for increased blood pressure given by recent authors where it can be understood as the pathology of Vyanvayu. The usage of Guduchyadi Yoga has been highlighted in the classics of Ayurveda for targeting the Hridaya sthitha vayu, which has not been evaluated yet. Aim: To evaluate and compare the efficacy of Navahridaya Kalpa (standard drug) and Guduchyadi Yoga (trial drug) for management of essential hypertension. Materials and Methods: A simple randomized controlled clinical study where 40 patients were equally divided as group A: Navahridaya kalpa (standard drug) and Group B: Guduchyadi yoga (trial drug) for a period of one month. Observations and results: The study result revealed that both the groups were beneficial in reducing high blood pressure however with no statistically significant difference found between the groups with p value being 0.339 for standard drug and 0.363 for trial drug. The group B was also found to be effective in reducing systolic blood pressure of stage I hypertension with p value .044 on comparing between the groups. Conclusion: The Guduchyadi yoga acts as Rasayana with the property of rejuvenation and antihypertensive which will check the high blood pressure at a very minimum cost without having any major adverse effects in the patients and hence can be advocated for use on a daily a basis.

‘Essential hypertension’ is high blood pressure for which there is no clearly defined aetiology. From a practical perspective, it is best defined as that level of blood pressure at which treatment to lower blood pressure results in significant clinical benefit—a level which will vary from patient to patient depending on their absolute cardiovascular risk....
