Brief Summary  

140 cases of Stage 1 Hypertension will be included in the interventional study which will be randomly divided into 4 groups of 35 patients in each group. First group will be the control group prescribed with Telmisartan 20mg. Second group will be prescribed with Telmisartan 20mg along with Sheetali pranayama and Yoganidra. Third group will be prescribed with Sarpagandha ghanvati 250 mg twice daily. Fourth group will be prescribed with Sarpagandha ghanvati 250 mg twice daily along with Sheetali pranayama and Yoganidra. It is expected that Sheetali pranayama and Yoganidra will reduce blood pressure in patients.
