Maintaining healthy blood pressure levels is essential for overall well-being. With the increasing prevalence of hypertension, exploring effective management strategies becomes vital. Homoeopathy offers natural solutions for blood pressure control by addressing the root cause of hypertension.
What is Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)?
Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a medical condition in which the force of the blood against the walls of your arteries is consistently too high. This puts extra strain on your heart and blood vessels, which can eventually lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and eye problems. Hypertension is often called a "silent killer" because it typically has no symptoms, and many people may not know they have it until significant damage occurs.
Cardiovascular Health Range
Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and is expressed with two numbers:
- Systolic pressure: The first (higher) number measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats and pumps out blood.
- Diastolic pressure: The second (lower) number measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart is resting between beats.
Normal blood pressure is less than 120/80 mmHg. When the blood pressure consistently exceeds these values, it may indicate hypertension.
Stages of Hypertension
- Normal: 120/80 mmHg
- Elevated: Systolic between 120-129 and diastolic less than 80 mmHg
- Hypertension Stage 1: Systolic between 130-139 or diastolic between 80-89 mmHg
- Hypertension Stage 2: Systolic 140 or higher or diastolic 90 or higher
- Hypertensive Crisis: Systolic over 180 and/or diastolic over 120 (requires immediate medical attention)
Homeopathic Remedies for Hypertension
