    • There are many Cannabis containing Ayurvedic medicines. These medicines are available in Market. But I am restricting myself from mentioning them here, because it will encourage you to take it. These products should only be used under strict medical supervision.
      For sleeplessness, stress, back and body pain, mucus etc. there are countless safe Ayurvedic alternatives which do not contain Cannabis. Why not concentrate there?

  3. I have been taking sarpaghanda on and off for a few years, and it always regulates my pulses and BP. Sleep and dreams also improve. I see an ayruvedic practitioner and an acupuncture physician regularly to monitor, and I’m very happy with this protocol. I take the AyurSpirit brand, which is Dr. Bhapat’s line of herbs. Very pure and concentrated.

  6. it will help you out from your problem. but along with medicines you have to bring changes in food and daily routine. non spicy and non oily food is good, little bit of yoga pranayama and meditation will also help.

    • In BP management along with allopathic medicines, you need to consult a doctor directly. Because, including Sarpagandha will further lower it and it should not go down too far.
      Consider stopping non veg food, extra spicy salty medicines.
      Please consult an Ayurveda doctor directly.
