Description
Healing the Heart Naturally: Yoga and Naturopathy for Hypertension is a book exploring evidence-based integrative approaches to hypertension management. It aims to bridge modern cardiovascular science with the principles and therapeutic practices of Yoga and Naturopathy. The book will cover the epidemiology, classification, pathophysiology, and complications of hypertension, with particular emphasis on autonomic nervous system dysfunction and cardiovascular regulation. It will examine the potential role of yoga practices, pranayama, meditation, relaxation techniques, and naturopathic therapies in supporting blood pressure regulation and cardiovascular health. Further chapters will address therapeutic nutrition, plant-based diets, lifestyle modification, and selected medicinal plants with potential cardiovascular benefits, highlighting their mechanisms of action, clinical relevance, and safety considerations. The book will also critically evaluate scientific evidence from clinical trials, systematic reviews, and other relevant research to distinguish established findings from emerging evidence. Designed for healthcare professionals, researchers, postgraduate students, and practitioners of Yoga and Naturopathy, this book aims to provide a scientifically informed resource for understanding and implementing integrative approaches to hypertension management. It seeks to promote evidence-based clinical practice, encourage interdisciplinary research, and support the responsible integration of traditional therapeutic approaches with contemporary cardiovascular medicine.
