dc.description.abstract Sri Lankan traditional system of medicine has many internal and external treatment procedures for diseases practiced for many decades. In this system, traditional physicians apply oils to the head with internal treatments for hypertension to control hypertension. Hence, this preliminary pilot study was conducted using traditional oil, Neelyadi taila with lime juice (Citrus aurantiifolia) externally to find out the effectiveness to control hypertension who were attending the Kayachikitsa clinics, at Ayurveda Teaching Hospital, Borella, Sri Lanka. For this study, 28 patients were randomly selected from either sex between the ages 40 to 70 years who were detecting hypertension at sight. 10ml of Neelyadi oil mixed with 10 drops of lime juice apply the patient’s head and detect their blood pressure thrice in intervals of ten minutes to thirty minutes. The results showed that 70% of patients’ systolic blood pressure deteriorate only 10mmHg after 30 minutes. Therefore, this traditional claim of applying Neelyadi oil with lime juice for hypertension can be effective with internal medicine but not only as an external application. en_US
