HOME REMEDIES FOR HYPERTENSION

[Guest guest]

Hypertension is a condition caused by an increase

in the blood pressure. As the blood flows through blood vessels in the

human body, it exerts pressure against the walls of the vessels. As the

heart contracts in its cycle of pumping blood, blood pressure reaches

its highest level. This is called systolic blood pressure. The blood

pressure reaches its lowest point when the heart is at rest or is

released. This is called diastolic blood pressure. Normal blood

pressure is around 120/80 mm of Hg (Mercury) for a healthy person.

There is no safe limit beyond normal. Any value other than normal

should be a reason for taking care. If continuously, the

systolic and diastolic pressure excelled the limit of 140/90, a human being is

said to have high blood pressure. He needs medical care values higher than

160/95 are placed in the danger zone. Types of

hypertension: There are different

types of hypertension depending upon the causes; -

Essential hypertension; this simply means that the hypertension is of

unknown origin. However in most patients with essential hypertension

there is a strong hereditary tendency.

Neurogenic hypertension: it can be caused by strong stimulation of the

sympathetic nervous system. For example when a person becomes excited

for any reason or at any time during states of anxiety the sympathetic

system becomes stimulated, vasoconstriction occurs everywhere in the

body and acute hypertension occurs.

Hypertension in toxemia of pregnancy: - during pregnancy many patients

develop hypertension. The main reason for this hypertension is believed

to be thickening of the glomerular membrane, which decreases the rate

of fluid filtration from the glomeruli into the renal tubules.

People who are at more risk of high blood pressure than others:

More men below 45 years of age than women in that age group.Obese persons are

more prone to high blood pressure.A child of parents either of who might have

suffered from high blood pressure.Persons who use excess amount of salt,

pickles, meat and fried food.Some users of birth control pills.Smokers are also

at higher risk.

Results of high blood pressure: -

First of all the arterial walls become thick and hardened. The heart muscles

come under strain. They are overworked. Congestive

heart failure also can result from hypertension. Congestive heart

failure can result from many causes. But its most significant cause is

hypertension. One of the most

serious results of hypertension is a stroke, which results in the

damage of brain. High blood pressure makes it difficult for blood

vessels to function properly. The brain does not get proper nourishment

by way of blood and oxygen. Blood coming with greater pressure than

normal, physically hurts the sensitive inner walls of the arteries. A

deposit of plaque forms more rapidly than in normal cases. The blood

vessels lose their elasticity. To put it in layman & #146;s language: & #145;As the

plumbing becomes rotten and defective, a sudden choking occurs & #146;. In

this case, the choking is that of the supply of blood. The patient

suffers a stroke, which can even be fatal. A stroke may not always

kill. But once it has affected a person, his ability to walk, think,

read, write or to speak is greatly reduced. Even if a stroke does not

occur, a decrease in the supply of oxygen to the brain over a long

period of time, affects intelligence, clarity of thinking and weakness

of memory. Hypertension can cause congestion in the lungs.

High blood pressure also slows down the functioning of kidneys.
