Instructions: How to take Mukta Vati, mukta vati dosage

For those with BP around 140/100 who are currently taking pharmaceutical drug, you can start by taking:
- two tablets of MuktaVati in the morning
- and another two in the evening
Both on an empty stomach with fresh water.

When BP is normalized, you can work towards gradually reducing and eventually stopping other blood pressure medications, under your doctor's care. Never stop your prescription drug abruptly. Allow at least one month to gradually wean off any medication.

If you are not currently taking pharmaceutical drug, then start with this dosage. When your blood pressure is normalized, you can work to adjust to the dosage that best fits you.

For those with BP around 160/100, and occasionally a little higher, who are currently taking pharmaceutical drugs, you can take Mukta Vati at the dose of two tablets for three times a day on an empty stomach with fresh water. That is:
- two tablets before breakfast
- two before lunch
- and another two one hour before dinner
Do not exceed the above dosage.

When BP is normalized, you can work toward gradually reducing and eventually stopping other blood pressure medications, under your physician's supervision. Never stop your prescription drug abruptly. Allow at least one month to gradually wean off any medication.

When BP drugs are stopped and your blood pressure continues to be normalized, then the dose of MuktaVati can be reduced to two tablets for twice per day.

In general, those who have not taken high blood pressure medications can start with two tablets in the morning, and two in the evening. Within less than two weeks you should start seeing improvements.

You should monitor your progress closely. If necessary, you may increase your daily dose up to six tablets, but do not exceed this limit. Should you take too much Mukta Vati, your blood pressure may drop too low, and you may experience tiredness.
Please use the above information as general guidelines only. It is not intended as individual medical advice. In our experience Mukta Vati is remarkably effective with most high blood pressure suffers, but there are occasional exceptions. Particularly if you have other health issues, you may want to think carefully regarding your decision to be your own doctor.

Blood Pressure Measuring

Blood pressure readings rise and fall at different times during the day. They are usually higher in the morning before and after you wake up, and are lower in the late afternoon and evening.

In older people with high blood pressure, a sharp increase in blood pressure in the morning (also called blood pressure morning surge) tends to increase the risk of stroke. So you would want to measure your blood pressure in the morning just after waking up so you have a more accurate reading of where you are at.

The Switching Stage

You may go through a tricky stage of switching from your regular medications to Mukta Vati. The trick is to gradually decrease your medication, while establishing an optimal dose of Mukta Vati that will work for you. This requires constant monitoring, while making subtle dosage changes. Never stop your medication abruptly while you are trying to incorporate Mukta Vati into your diet.

Make sure to measure your bp everyday. If you see that your bp is dropping too low, you need to slightly cut down the meds dose, using the pill cutter. The point is to avoid your bp becoming too low or inching too high. When you find an optimal combination of Mukta Vati and the meds, stay in that for a while until your bp stabilizes, then you can cut the dose of meds a bit further.

Any change of doses must be done gently and slowly. Continue to monitor your bp everyday, and adjust your Mukta Vati accordingly. If you are at all not certain how to proceed, please ask your physician for help. Particularly, if you have other health issues.

Isolated Systolic Hypertension

If you have Isolated Systolic Hypertension, then the process to wean off your medication should stretch to a 4-6 month period. You should not stop drugs within 1 month of taking Mukta Vati.

Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) occurs mostly in elderly patients due to degenerative and physical factors. Such disorders as arthritis, diabetes, gout, spondylosis (a connective symptomatic disorder) can often cause ISH.

If you have Isolated Systolic Hypertension, you should stay on your drugs while you are taking Mukta Vati. Once the systolic pressure is regulated along with Mukta Vati, then you can wean off from the meds by stretching the wean-off process as long as 4-6 months.

Cautions

Mukta Vati does thin blood for some people, so caution should be taken to avoid Mukta Vati 2 weeks prior to surgery and during the surgery phase.
Do not take this product without the consent of your physician if you are currently taking anti-coagulants.
Safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding not yet established.
Keep out of reach of children.
Store in a cool, dry place with lid tightly closed. Mukta Vati should be kept at room temperature, not in the refrigerator.

Diet Recommendations

It will be best if you can take one glass of cool water right after getting up in the morning. This will help Mukta Vati flush out toxins from your body.
If you can, include food rich with probiotic, live culture (such as yogurt and kefir) into your daily diet. It will help you maintain a healthy intestinal tract and enhance the health of your bowel movement.
Increase natural mineral intake through leafy vegetable soups can help some people lower their blood pressure. Minerals from leafy vegetables and salads can help tackle constipations. The fiber in these also helps the heart.
Increase fruits and healthy fats in food; especially, vegetable juice fasting once a week can do wonders to the health of mind, body, and spirit. Vegetable juice fasting is only a suggestion to help further detox your body. If you cannot afford it, Mukta Vati will still help you lower your blood pressure. When doing fasting, you can drink as much water as you want, and the vegetable juice will provide you the minerals and nutrition that your body most needs.
Regularly drinking homemade, diluted vinegar water or lemon water (with no sugar added) twice a day can greatly contribute to your general health.
We cannot emphasize enough the importance of eliminating tran-fatty acid from your diet. Tran-fatty acid oxidizes your body and produces free radicals in your systems. It is one of the contributing causes of many health problems.

Life Style Change Recommendations

Mukta Vati is a tonic for your blood pressure, it is not a cure. From Ayurveda perspective, high blood pressure is a symptom, not an independent disease. Its root-cause is often found in the lifestyle.

In order for you to get on top shape of your health, it is also necessary to tackle the basic causes.

Reduce intoxicating intakes such as coffee, alcohol, and nicotine.
Eliminate iodized salt from food and use sea salt instead.
Eliminate cortico-steroids, synthetic hormones (birth control pills), decongestants, NSAIDS, and diet pills. Since some steroidal drugs are addictive, you must consult your doctor before reducing or stopping its use.
The following practice are known to lower stress-related hypertension: meditation, yoga, abdominal breathing exercises, Tai Chi, Qi-Gung, or non-attachment.
The best medicine is from Nature: Take a walk outdoors and see beauty of nature. Take 30 minutes for walking everyday if possible.
