Abstract Introduction: Hypertension is a leading global health concern and a major risk factor for cardiovascular, renal, and cerebrovascular diseases. Despite the availability of pharmacological treatments, many patients fail to achieve optimal blood pressure control. Yoga has emerged as a promising non-pharmacological, mind-body intervention to support hypertension management.
Materials and Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed using PubMed, Google Scholar, and ResearchGate. Studies including clinical trials, observational research, and review articles on yoga-based interventions for hypertension were analyzed.
Discussion: The evidence suggests that regular practice of Yoga including Asana, Pranayama, meditation, and relaxation techniques can lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Physiological mechanisms involve modulation of autonomic function, reduced sympathetic tone, enhanced parasympathetic activity, and stress reduction. Secondary benefits include improved sleep, emotional regulation, and adherence to lifestyle modifications.
Conclusion: Yoga offers a safe, evidence-based approach to managing hypertension by promoting autonomic balance, reducing stress, and supporting overall well-being. Regular practice may reduce reliance on medication and encourage a mindful, healthy lifestyle.
