6. Addictions (alcohol, tobacco, smoking)

2. Panchakarma detoxification and rejuvenation

3. Herbal remedies and formulations

4. Yoga and meditation practices

5. Stress management and relaxation techniques

By understanding the underlying causes and adopting Ayurvedic principles, individuals can effectively manage hypertension and promote overall health and well-being. Consult an Ayurvedic doctor or practitioner for personalized guidance.
