If the pressure on the arteries is permanently too high with over 140/90 mmHg, doctors speak of high blood pressure or hypertension. The risk increases with age. The genes are also decisive in whether a person gets high blood pressure or not. Obesity, smoking and high alcohol consumption also contribute to the increase in blood pressure.
Most of those affected often 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 blood vessels occurs. This can lead to serious complications such as heart attack, stroke and kidney damage. A permanently high blood pressure should therefore always be taken seriously and treated medically. In addition, homeopathic medicines can be used.

Low blood pressure: bothersome but mostly harmless
Dizziness, feelings of weakness, difficulty concentrating and seeing asterisks when standing up suddenly are typical symptoms of low blood pressure. This is the case when the blood pressure is below 100/60 mmHg in women and below 110/70 mmHg in men. As a result, the brain is not always supplied with sufficient blood and oxygen at the same time.
Even if the symptoms are perceived as uncomfortable and stressful: Low blood pressure is often considered harmless. Young, slim women are particularly often affected. Pregnant women and girls in 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: If the low blood pressure manifests itself in the form of flickering eyes, headache, or even fainting, Haplopappus can help. Homeopathic medicine is obtained from the bailey herb.
Crataegus: The natural medicine made from hawthorn has a strengthening effect on heart problems and is well suited to gently regulate blood pressure. Crataegus has a stabilizing effect and can on the one hand stimulate blood pressure that is too low, but also lower blood pressure that is too high.
