Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a chronic condition where the force of blood against artery walls is consistently too high.
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a chronic condition where the force of blood against artery walls is consistently too high, forcing the heart to work harder. Usually causing no symptoms (a "silent killer"), it is typically defined as a reading of 130/80 mmHg or higher. Left untreated, it increases risks of heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage.
Homeopathy aims to manage hypertension through a holistic approach, focusing on reducing blood pressure by addressing underlying mental stress, physical symptoms, and constitutional weaknesses, often alongside lifestyle modifications.
