Too high or too low: Many people have problems with blood pressure. Especially the high values can be dangerous for the body. In addition to conventional treatment, homeopathic medicines can be used to help regulate blood pressure.
If the pressure on the arteries is permanently too high at over 140/90 mmHg, doctors speak of high blood pressure or hypertension. The risk increases with age. Genes also play a role in determining whether a person gets high blood pressure or not. Obesity, smoking and high alcohol consumption also contribute to an increase in blood pressure.
Most of those affected do not notice the high values for a long time and even feel free of symptoms. This is fatal, because if the high blood pressure is not reduced in the long term, permanent damage to the vessels will occur. This can lead to serious complications such as heart attack, stroke and kidney damage. Permanently elevated blood pressure should therefore always be taken seriously and treated appropriately medically. Homeopathic medicines can be used to support this.
Reduce high blood pressure gently with homeopathy
- Aurum metallicum: Aurum metallicum gently lowers blood pressure if the head is red, throbbing at the temples, or if you feel hot and dizzy.
- Arnica: In addition to its anti-inflammatory properties, Arnica also has beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. Arnica can provide relief in particular for a feeling of tightness in the chest, reduced performance and a feeling of pressure on the heart.
- Viscum album: The natural medicine from white berry mistletoe can help with poor circulation, frontal headaches, dizziness and ringing in the ears.
Low blood pressure: Annoying but mostly harmless
Dizziness, feelings of weakness, difficulty concentrating and seeing asterisks when standing up abruptly are typical symptoms of low blood pressure. This occurs when blood pressure is measured below 100/60 mmHg in women and below 110/70 mmHg in men. As a result, the brain is not always sufficiently supplied with blood and oxygen at the same time.
Even if the symptoms are perceived as unpleasant and stressful: low blood pressure is often considered harmless. Young, slim women are particularly often affected. Pregnant women and girls going through puberty also tend to have very low blood pressure. Nevertheless, the cause of hypotension should be clarified professionally. In addition to conventional medical treatment, some natural medicines get the circulation going again.
Homeopathy for low blood pressure
- Haplopappus: Haplopappus can help if the low blood pressure manifests itself in the form of flickering eyes, frontal headaches, or even fainting. Homeopathic medicine is derived from the Bailahuen herb.
- Crataegus: The natural medicine from hawthorn has a strengthening effect on heart problems and is well suited for gently regulating blood pressure. Crataegus has a stabilizing effect and can stimulate blood pressure that is too low, but also lower blood pressure that is too high.
- Veratrum album: Veratrum album can be of good service in the case of acute circulatory weakness with severe dizziness. It also helps the body when it is threatened with fainting either after an infection or due to emotional events.
