Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Pulmonary Hypertension

Pulmonary hypertension is a serious disorder which can have an unfavourable long-term outlook. Advances in modern treatment for this condition have not really changed the overall outlook in the treatment of this condition.
Ayurvedic herbal medicines can be used judiciously to control this condition, reduce the severity of symptoms, improve the quality of life, and treat the known cause, if detected, for this condition. Simple herbal medicines can be used to reduce the pressure and constriction in the pulmonary vessels. Very few patients present only with primary (idiopathic), uncomplicated, pulmonary hypertension. Most individuals either have secondary complications like heart failure, or have some predominant condition which has led to pulmonary hypertension. It is therefore imperative to treat heart failure, and different causative diseases like interstitial lung disease and scleroderma.
Thankfully, almost all these medical conditions respond well to Ayurvedic medicines, though the treatment required may be long-term. The important thing to note is that pulmonary hypertension and its associated medical conditions can be managed well with Ayurvedic treatment, and the serious outlook associated with this condition can be dramatically changed for the better. Another important point of note is that the medicines which are useful in these conditions are quite safe, and highly economical.
