Abstract

Hypertension is a very commonly prevailing problem in our community, which is increasing day by day with an alarming
rate. Excessive eating of saturated fatty oily foods, sedimentary life style and avoidance of physical exercise produces
deposition of cholesterol in the blood veins and arteries which results hypertension and further cardiac disorders. It
becomes necessary to find a non-invasive medical solution to this problem. Therefore in the present study, Bhasatrika
Pranayama was selected and performed on 30 patients for 60 days to evaluate its efficacy on hypertension and related
signs and symptoms. It was observed that Bhastrika Pranayama alone may diminish hypertension and associated
symptoms because it not only produces symptomatic improvement but also improves various mental faculties to produce
significant improvement in metabolism of all the patients. Therefore, Bhastrika Pranayama can be administered effectively
to the healthy people as well as patients of hypertension as a remedy for preventive and curative aspect.
