The cardiovascular system is a complex system consisting of the heart and venous and arterial vessels, through which the blood irrigates and nourishes every cell of the body. The center of the system is the heart, whose heartbeat is governed by a natural pacemaker of cardiac nerve cells connected to the autonomic nervous system, which through rhythmic electrical impulses determines the systolic contractions. The force with which the blood is pushed by the pulsations of the heart towards the walls of the arteries is called pressionearterial and depends on two factors: the volume of blood that the left ventricle pushes into the aorta in a given interval of time and the resistance to the flow given from arterial vessels, which largely depends on their elasticity. Furthermore, since the blood supply to the arteries is not continuous but occurs alternately in relation to the phases of contraction (systole) and rest (diastole) of the heart muscle, arterial pressure oscillates continuously between two different values.

Hypertension: what are normal blood pressure values?
The considered normal blood pressure fluctuates between 140 mm Hg (systolic) and 85 mm Hg (diastolic), although these values ​​may vary momentarily based on various factors, such as being at rest or under stress, or in moments of agitation . However, when these values ​​are constantly above the norm even when at rest, one speaks of hypertension. In our country 25-30% of the population suffers from hypertension, even without being aware of it because the disorder is almost always asymptomatic, and if in the elderly this datum refers to the progressive hardening of the arteries due to age, in other cases it may depend on other pathologies or harmful habits (secondary hypertension) or from nervous factors (primary hypertension). Hypertension is a disorder that affects many people and that can be effectively addressed with the right homeopathic remedies

The factors that cause hypertension
The factors that can determine a secondary hypertension mainly include endocrine diseases, hormonal and renal changes, as well as hardening of the arteries due to the typical age of the elderly.

In essential hypertension, the alteration of values ​​is mainly due to factors such as:

abuse of high-calorie foods, animal fats, salt, alcohol, smoking and licorice
drugs like cortisone or the contraceptive pill
obesity
lifestyle marked by stress, excessive sedentariness or, on the contrary, hyperactivity, emotional changes, anxiety factors and constant concerns that keep the person “under pressure”.
Symptoms of hypertension
Generally mild hypertension is asymptomatic, partly because it often conveys a false feeling of “energy”, and can only be discovered accidentally during a routine medical examination. However, when hypertension is aggravated, symptoms such as pulsanteal headache in the morning, dizziness, weakness, sweating, swelling and redness of the eyes, epistaxis etc. may appear. Hypertension in itself is not a deadly disease but can result in disorders of cerebral circulation, renal and cardiac pathologies.

Homeopathic remedies that help regulate pressure
Homeopathy offers numerous remedies able to act on hypertension, also associated with other natural or allopathic therapies, to be chosen based on individual characteristics and predominant symptoms. Except for specific indications, the recommended remedies should be taken at the 7CH dilution in the acute phase, especially when physical symptoms prevail, and at 15 CH if there are simultaneous physical and emotional symptoms. Here are the most effective:

Aconitum napellus

Aurum metallicum
It is indicated in hypertension with flames of heat to the head, “dips” to the heart followed by tachycardia, red and congested face, palpitations, intense anguish. During hypertensive crisis take Aurum metallicum 15 CH, 2 granules every hour, until improvement.

Baryta carbonica It is useful in all cases of hypertension of the elderly who complain of loss of memory and of a sense of orientation, anxieties and strong fears, above all that of not recovering from diseases, and in subjects suffering from arteriosclerosis. Symptoms include headaches, intense sweating, severe dizziness, tinnitus. It is taken as a single dose at 15 CH, a single whole dose.

Glonoinum
Aconitum-like remedy in the acute form, is to be preferred in sudden circulatory disorders, characterized by tachycardia, vertigo, headache which improves by pressing the head.

Ignatia amara
Useful in all cases of stress caused by affective traumas, sentimental or work-related disappointments, it is the specific anxiolytic homeopathic remedy for emotional pressure disorders typical of subjects who pass from sadness to euphoria in a few minutes, constantly causing the pressure to oscillate. Typical symptoms include tightness, gastric swelling, nausea, tremors and contractions. It is taken at 15 CH, two granules every 15 minutes, until improvement.

Lachesismutus
Made from the venom of a South American snake, Lachesis is recommended in female hypertensive crises, typical of the climacteric of women afflicted by intense hot flashes, excitable, anxious, strongly jealous.
