ROLE OF HERBAL PRODUCTS IN MANANGEMENT OF HYPERTENSION

Pharmacy

The medical term for elevated blood pressure is hypertension (HTN). It is risky because it puts too much strain on the heart and causes atherosclerosis, which is the hardening of the arteries, in addition to raising the risk of heart disease and stroke. Other diseases including congestive heart failure, renal disease, and blindness can also be brought on by HTN. Traditional antihypertensives frequently have a number of adverse effects. Due to its superior tolerance by the human body and fewer adverse effects, around 75–80% of the world's population uses herbal medicines for primary healthcare, primarily in impoverished nations. Research on native plants with hypotensive and antihypertensive therapeutic benefits has received a lot of focus during the past three decades. Research on indigenous plants with hypotensive and antihypertensive therapeutic benefits has received a lot of focused attention. Some of these medicinal plants' hypotensive and antihypertensive properties have been shown effective, while others have been found to be ineffective. To validate the efficacy and clarify the safety profile of such herbal treatments for their antihypertensive potential, additional scientific study must be conducted in conjunction with contemporary medicine and ayurveda expertise.
