Hypertension, defined as blood pressure elevation to a level that increases the risk of organ damage, Recent guidelines classify hypertension as systolic blood pressure ≥130 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥80 mmHg, distinguishing between primary (essential) and secondary forms. It affects over one billion individuals globally and contributes to approximately 9.4 million deaths annually. Nearly 63% of total deaths in India are due to non-communicable diseases, of which 27% are attributed to cardiovascular disease which affects 45% people in the 40-69 age group. Unani medicine refers to hypertension as “Zaghtuddam Qawi,” although classical texts discuss a condition known as “Imtila,” which exhibits clinical features akin to hypertension, such as headache and palpitation, heaviness in chest. Unani scholars categorize Imtila into two types: Imtila bi Hasbil Auiya, characterized by increased blood volume and vessel tension (akin to primary hypertension), and Imtila bi Hasbil Quwa, where blood quality is compromised. The prevention and management of hypertension in Unani medicine emphasize the Asbab-e-Sitta Zaruriya (six essential factors), including atmospheric air, diet, physical activity, psychological well-being, sleep, and elimination/retention. Proper management of these factors can help to mitigate hypertension risks. This holistic approach recognizes the interplay of lifestyle and environmental factors in maintaining health, underscoring the importance of balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, and mental tranquility. Ultimately, the integration of Unani principles with modern understanding of hypertension offers a comprehensive framework for prevention and management.
