Hello members,

I have high blood pressure 160/76. I have been seeing a homeopath here in Toronto, Canada for the last 4 months and the pressure remains the same in spite of him trying various remedies.

Unlike allopathy which treats the symptoms, is there a cure for BP at all which treats the cause in homeopathy? What are the effects of prolonged high blood pressure?
Appreciate your help.

Dear Rasaiah
High BP means that your heart is working harder to push the blood around the body and through the tissues and organs.
High BP may have many causes which affect the circulatory system itself and almost all of the organs.
To find the cause, a systematic approach needs to be taken and will not be an over night thing. There are various symptoms associated with High BP and you and your homeopath should have listed these together and if so, he should be working on them.
There are some things that you can help yourself with, primarily, it is to take at least 2 litres of water over the course of the day - in sips if necessary.
Reduction of weight often helps as the heart has to work less hard to pump the blood around the body a lesser mass and it will less work when the body is engaged in physical work.
The other thing is to make sure that you do not take anything with aspartame in it. This sweetener is in a lot of food and drinks, primarily most things marked 'diet' or 'reduced sugar' or 'no added sugar'. It is also in some medicines, so you must be careful and read the labels with great patience and sometimes with a magnifying glass. Be mindful of chewing gums as most carry this sweetener - either as prime sweetener, or as 'flavour enhancer'.
Good luck
Soroush

I'm just wondering how this would have been dealt with during Hahnemann's times. Bearing in mind it doesn't have any symptoms and you only know you've got it through a blood pressure test - yet it can lead to so many problems if not dealt with.

Hi Chrisine,

High blood pressure is not an illness - it is a RESULT of an illness. The real problem is whatever causes the high blood pressure. SO maybe Hahnemann was skilled enough to detect the issues that could cause it?
ALso it is an allopathic idea, not a real one, that you can only detect blood pressure by a BP test.
Most people with high BP have a lot of symptoms, both directly..... starting with tinnitus for example, and changes in behavior, headaches, - plus indirectly, due to whatever caused the high BP (eg diabetes symptoms) - all things a homeopath is trained to see, but allopaths think are nonexistent or unrelated, so you "must" do a BP test.

Namaste,
..........Irene

Hi,

Another factor to think about is allopaths have drugs for high blood pressure. They can reduce the symptom but not the syndrome that causes high blood pressure as Irene said. They emphasis the phenomenon that they can control through drugs. They support their industry through drug sales. So they are concerned with factors that promote sales.

I have low blood pressure. They know that low blood pressure also leads to problems, but when the nurse sees my low blood pressure she says it's just fine. She does not care if I am cold all the time, have less circulation in my feet and abdomen than I should have. These circulation problems are related to low blood pressure. But it is not a medical problem. For me if I don't do something to improve my circulation, my organs will not get enough blood and I will (do sometimes) have problems. Again these are not medical problems because there is no drug. When the nurse says my low blood pressure is fine, actually what she means is her industry has no drug to sell me. They would make a problem out of low blood pressure if they had a drug that would raise it.

I would much rather treat the entire syndrome than just one easily measured feature of a larger circulation syndrome.

Have you tried liquorice Ellen. It is meant to raise blood pressure. I know this is not homeopathic either but ginkgo thins the blood and therefore it moves around faster so increasing the circulation in your body. This may just help you as well.

Interesting. I had a major skin reaction from Gingo. In chinese medicine, liquorish is given with most combination herbs to increase stomach digestion of the herb. Stomach meridian energy is major to the movement of ki (blood as well).

Staying really active is the best cure right now, but sometimes I wonder how much beating up my body can stand. Also, I do a deep organ massage through a breathing technique. It moves the kunalini which moves everything else.

Gotta get to that now. GOoooo

That's so true:-)
Have you tried eating a lot of Nori?

Namaste,
Irene

"Man who say it cannot be done should not interrupt one doing it."

Nori and all seaweeds are standard for a Japanese diet. Had nato and nori for breatkfast. Japanese traditional idea of the breakfast of champions.

Oops - Mia cupa - I forgot you were in Japan!

However - the Natto is likely your problem!!!
Natto is shown in research to block angiotensin converting enzyme and thus force the blood pressure down.
See this 2012 research:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22453301

Many folks with high BP take natto to lower it instead of BP meds!
