Natural Remedies For Hypertension

If our blood pressure increases due to nervous problems, we can try to regulate it by putting a few drops of lavender essential oil on a tissue to inhale its vapors.

High blood pressure is considered by doctors to be a “silent killer” because it brings many negative consequences to the body, and often there are no symptoms. If you are suffering from this problem, you can take advantage of natural remedies for hypertension.

Causes and symptoms of hypertension

As it was said before, high blood pressure is due to different causes. Sedentary life, excess salt, pre-cooked meals, lack of exercise etc.

But hormonal abnormalities, kidney or cardiovascular disease, the taking of certain drugs such as contraceptives or the ingestion of alcohol can darken the picture.

Regarding the most common symptoms of hypertension, we find, among others:

• Headache,
• Short breathing,
• Reddening of the face,
• Excessive sweating,
• Rapid pulse,
• Visual alterations,
• Nausea,
• Ringing in the ears,
• Nosebleeds,
• Nervousness,
• Fatigue, etc.

High blood pressure is dangerous because it can cause cerebral thrombosis, heart attack, or kidney disorder. It is therefore important to keep the blood pressure under control and to take it once a week.

Remember that there is no age for having high blood pressure, although it most often appears after 30 years. Blood pressure is measured to analyze how the heart beats when it pumps blood (systolic pressure) and when it rests between beats (diastolic pressure).
