Hypertension high blood pressure Homeopathic treatment

Traditionally, hypertension has been classified into essential2 or primary, where there is no evident cause, and secondary, where there is an evident anatomical, pathological or biochemical abnormality. But this view of essential hypertension is increasingly being challenged with the recognition of constitutional, dietary and environmental factors in its pathogenesis.

Essential hypertension is the commonest among the causes of hypertension, constituting up to 95% of the cases. Among the secondary causes, renal diseases account for the majority of cases. A useful classification is given below

• Hereditary.
• Lack of physical activity, improper diet, smoking and alcohol.
• Overweight.
• Stress.
• Old age.
• Heavy metal toxicity.
• Food sensitivities.
• Hyper calcemia (high calcium levels).
• Hormonal changes.
• Kidney, adrenal (gland above the kidney) and thyroid diseases.
• Certain medications like birth control pills, antidepressants, steroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and many more....

•     Headache, dizziness and mental confusion.
•     Low energy levels with excessive sweating.
•     Face flushed.
•     Vision problems.
•     Nosebleed.
•     Chest pain, palpitation and irregular heartbeat.
•     Difficulty breathing. 
•     Frequency of urination and/or blood in urine.
•     Sleep apnea.
•     Hardening and narrowing of arteries in the body (Atherosclerosis).
•     Stroke.
•     Kidney disease.
•     Damage blood vessels in the retina of the eye (Retinopathy).
•     Erectile Dysfunction (impotence in men).

It is classified as either primary (essential) or secondary. About 90 to “95% of cases are termed "primary hypertension", which refers to high blood pressure for which no medical cause can be found .The remaining 5 to 10% of cases (Secondary hypertension) are caused by other conditions that affect the kidneys, arteries, heart, or endocrine system(diabetes).

Persistent hypertension is one of the risk factors for stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure and arterial aneurysm, and is a leading cause of chronic kidney failure. Moderate elevation of arterial blood pressure leads to shortened life expectancy. Dietary and lifestyle changes can improve blood pressure control and decrease the risk of associated health complications, although drug treatment may prove necessary in patients for whom lifestyle changes prove ineffective or insufficient

Normal blood pressure less than 120/80

 Pre-hypertension 120-139/ 80-89

 High blood pressure (stage 1) 140-159/90-99

 High blood pressure (stage 2) higher than 160/100

 Usually this requires three separate sphygmomanometer  measurements at least one week apart. The heart pumps blood into the arteries with enough force to push blood to the far reaches of each organ from the top of the head to the bottom of the feet. Blood pressure can be defined as the pressure of blood on the walls of the arteries as it circulates through the body. Blood pressure is highest as its leaves the heart through the aorta and gradually decreases as it enters smaller and smaller blood vessels (arteries, arterioles, and capillaries). Blood returns in the veins leading to the heart, aided by gravity and muscle contraction. 

 Hypertension is the medical term for high blood pressure. It is known as the "silent killer" since it has no initial symptoms but can lead to long-term disease and complications..

•      Monitor blood pressure regularly.
•      Carry out regular investigations concerning blood sugar, lipid and renal profile.
•      Eat a diet low in salt and saturated fat.
•      Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grain products, fish and nuts.
•      Eat foods that are rich in magnesium, potassium and calcium.
•      Eating two cloves of garlic every morning can help reduce blood pressure naturally.
•      Celery is also known to reduce blood pressure.
•      Avoid red meat and desserts.
•      Exercise and increase your physical activity.
•      Avoid smoking and alcohol.
•      Control anger, irritability.
•      Drink at least a gallon of water daily.

 Lifestyle Modifications to Manage High Blood Pressure Weight Control

• Aim for a healthy weight range for your height and body type. Your health care practitioner can help you calculate a healthy target weight.
• Even a small amount of weight loss can make a major difference in lowering or preventing high blood pressure.
• You must burn more calories than you take in to lose weight.
• Crash or fad diets are not helpful and may be dangerous.
• Some weight loss medications also carry major risks effecting thyroid and may even elevate blood pressure, and great caution is advised in using these drugs. Please ask your health care practitioner or pharmacist for help in deciding if a weight loss medication is appropriate for your situation.
•    Exercise or Increase Physical Activity.

•    Physical activity reduces total cholesterol and bad cholesterol (low density lipoprotein or LDL) and raises    the good cholesterol (high density lipoprotein or HDL).
•    Both the American Heart Association (AHA) and the U.S. Surgeon General recommend 30 minutes of        physical activity on most days of the week.
•    Physical activity includes many daily activities such as cleaning the house, raking the lawn, and walking.
• Other possible sources of activity can include using the stairs instead of an elevator or escalator, walking for errands instead of driving a car, and participating in a sport or social activity such dancing.

Constitutional Homeopathic treatment is an incomparable option to treat Hypertension. Homeopathic remedies dilate the blood vessels and increase the amount of blood flow to the kidneys, thereby, increasing urination and lowering blood pressure. Homeopathic remedies promote your entire circulatory system, relax and increase the elasticity of arteries, allowing blood to flow with less pressure, hence, lowering blood pressure naturally, balancing the blood flow and relieving the stress so you can calm down. Based on the classical approach of Homeopathy a Homeopathic practitioner looks at the person holistically, that is mind, body and emotion together and not just at the symptoms of the illness.

Ideally, constitutional treatment is themost reliable and effective to treat highblood pressure. But where this is not pos-sible, we use Arsenicum album, Phosphorus,Natrum muriaticum, Lachesis and Glonoineas clinical remediess.

These remedies may also be usefulfor “layer” prescribing in hypertensivepatients, to prepare the patient and openup the constitution. Like removing thetop layers of an onion, such remediespave the way for further action and helpus arrive at the constitutional stage.

DR Makkarresearched and proven homeopathic treatment for  Hypertension /High Blood Pressure.Homeopathy is natural, safe and an effective treatment option for Hypertension /High Blood Pressure relief,cure and management.

In my clinical experience we can say Homeopathy can play major role in management of essential or secondary hypertension. Timely administered homeopathy medicines can assist in preventing further complications of condition definitely & sometimes in emergency saves life of patients. Here need to invidulise case carefully in which understanding of patient mentally ,socially & physically by individulising patient .Life-style modification with moderate exercise, weight reduction, salt restriction can enhance the benefits of homeopathy.Use of low sodium salts now available in market also help in managing the case properly.  

In our experience, early cases of hypertension respond to homeopathy much better than those late cases who are already on some antihypertensive medicines for long period of time. Again, homeopathy is not best suited during the acute hypertensive crisis
