There will be interaction with patient to resolve their queries (if any).  If patient agrees for participation in the study and if found fit to include during screening, then patient will be included in the study.

Our objective for this study is to find out if *Tagar* combined with *Raktamokshana* (Therapeutic bloodletting) and *Basti* (per rectal administration of Ayurvedic medicine) is effective in reducing blood pressure in duration of 90 days**.**

1st assessment will be on day zero.  After first assessment, *Raktamokshana* will be done. On the same day oral administration of *Tagar* will be started, after that Basti (per rectal administration of ayurvedic medicines) will be started as per Ayurveda based clinical findings. The amount of *Raktamokshana*, *Tagar* and Basti will be decided as per Ayurveda based Clinical examination of patient. Stages of *Doshas* and symptoms of patient.

For *Anuvasan Basti* (per rectal oil administration) *Triphaladi Tail* will be used;while *Panchbhadra Kwath* will be used for *Niruh* *Basti* (per rectal administration of *herbal decoction*)*.*

**Duration of study** – 90 days.

  Assessment of scale and physical character will be carried out on zero and 90 th day.

Blood pressure will be measured on daily basis when patient will come for *Basti*. When patient will not be on *Basti* *Karma* blood pressure will be measured once a week.

Patients and investigator’s global evaluations for overall improvement will be done at the end of the study. Tolerability of the trial medicine will be assessed by the investigator and patient at the end of the study. All the patient will be closely monitored for any adverse events/ adverse drug reaction. All the investigations performed on day zero will be repeated on day 90.

Based on the above study procedures, observations will be recorded in the case record forms for each patient.

Following scale will also be used in study along with blood pressure measurements.

2-       Estimated Risk of Developing Hypertension in the next 4 Years. (Day zero and Day 90).
