Homeopathic Remedy For High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure is a dangerous disease. Whether it is not fatal more. But still we have to care more other wise it can be damage a lot to body.A blood pressure of 140/90 or higher is considered high blood pressure. Both numbers are important. If one or both numbers are usually high, you have high blood pressure. If you are being treated for high blood pressure, you still have high blood pressure even if you have repeated readings in the normal range.  High blood pressure is also called Hypertension.Hypertension, or high blood

pressure, is a very common and serious heart condition, which may even be life-threatening in some cases. What happens in people who suffer from it is that the heart pumps more blood, thus increasing the pressure to the walls of the arteries, particularly if they are already narrowed. Even though this condition does not necessarily have to cause the symptoms immediately in everyone who has it, the fact is that they will appear sooner or later. What is even worse, if left untreated or undiagnosed for a longer period of time, this condition may bring about serious health problems, among which the most severe are stroke and heart attack. People who are physically inactive, those who are obese, smoke, drink too much of alcohol, as well as those with improper and inadequate diet are much more prone to this condition than those with healthier lifestyle and eating habits. However, since the measurement of blood pressure is a part of the routine checkup, this condition is usually easily detected, and those who take their condition seriously have many options at disposal in order to control it.

Hypertension occurs when arterioles, small blood vessels that branch off from the arteries, become constricted making it difficult for blood to pass through them. As a result, blood pressure rises causing your heart to work harder. If your blood pressure at rest stays at 140/90 or more, you may have hypertension.

Blood pressure is determined by the amount of blood pumped by the heart, and the size and condition of the arteries. Many other factors can affect blood pressure, including volume of water in the body; salt content of the body; condition of the kidneys, nervous system, or blood vessels; and levels of various hormones in the body.

"Essential" hypertension has no identifiable cause. It may have genetic factors and environmental factors, such as salt intake or others. Essential hypertension comprises over 95% of all high blood pressure.

"Secondary" hypertension is high blood pressure caused by another disorder. This may include:

adrenal gland tumors
Cushing's syndrome
kidney disorders
glomerulonephritis (inflammation of kidneys)
renal vascular obstruction or narrowing
renal failure
use of medications, drugs, or other chemicals
oral contraceptives
hemolytic-uremic syndrome
Henoch-Schonlein purpura
periarteritis nodosa
radiation enteritis
retroperitoneal fibrosis
Wilms' tumor
other disorders

• Hawthorn Berry is an herb known for the ability to open the coronary arteries, thus improving the flow of the blood. It is also beneficial when thickening of the arteries needs to be reduced and when heart muscle needs to be strengthened.
• Ginkgo Biloba also has the potential to improve the circulation and reduce blood pressure, though it also increases the flow of the blood to the brain.
• Olive leaf extract successfully fights the arrhythmia and lowers blood pressure.
