Lifestyle diseases are ailments that are primarily based on the day to day habits of people. Habits that detract people from activity and push them towards a sedentary routine can cause a number of health issues that can lead to chronic non-communicable diseases that can have near life-threatening consequences. These type of diseases are driven by seemingly unrelated causes such as rapid unplanned urbanization, globalization of unhealthy lifestyles and population ageing.

Having blood pressure measures consistently above normal may result in a diagnosis of high blood pressure (or hypertension). The higher your blood pressure levels, the more risk you have for other health problems, such as heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.
Hypertension treatment in Ayurveda has a long-term and deeper impact because instead of controlling symptoms, it treats the root-cause of the problem.Unhealthy diet and sedentary lifestyles are the chief causes of hypertension today. This creates toxins (ama)and it narrows blood vessels. Therefore the blood has to exert more pressure to circulate, leading to the condition of high blood pressure.
Hypertension can be treated with personalized herbal medicines which balance the aggravated vata and pitta dosha. Since the state of the mind plays an important role, counselling is also provided for mental relaxation and rejuvenation.
