2. Improving digestion and nutrition

3. Managing stress and anxiety through yoga, meditation, and pranayama

4. Avoiding excessive physical exertion and getting adequate rest

5. Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water

6. Avoiding excessive alcohol and caffeine consumption

7. Eating frequent, small meals throughout the day

8. Incorporating Ayurvedic herbs and spices, such as ginger, cinnamon, and cardamom, into your diet.

It is important to consult an Ayurvedic doctor or practitioner to determine the underlying cause of low blood pressure and develop a personalized treatment plan.
