Hypertension- the most common disease of the vascular system of the human body at the present time. Together with atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, hypertension enters the triad of diseases of the XX - XXI century. And if a person notices that the frequency and periods of increase in his blood pressure increase and increase, and to reduce the pressure to take special measures, this indicates the onset of the development of hypertension.
Thus, thehypertension, essential hypertensionandarterial hypertensionin traditional official medicine, one and the same pathological condition is understood, in which there is a steady increase in systolic and diastolic digits (upper and lower) of blood pressure in millimeters of mercury.
Therefore, in this article, we will talk on the topic: "Causes, symptoms and treatment of hypertension folk remedies." And also about how to treat and how to cure hypertension in the home with special procedures, medications and other ways.

Causes of hypertension
Arterial pressure is one of the indicators of health, and each person notes his constant fluctuations. The magnitude of our blood pressure is a non-permanent thing, it can vary depending on many reasons.
So, it can slightly increase after eating, exercise, in stressful situations, under any physical stress. But this physiological increase in arterial pressure is not dangerous to health, since with the termination of the irritating factor it quickly returns to normal.
How does hypertension begin?
Hypertension does not begin immediately. Its appearance is usually preceded by diseases of the kidneys, heart, vessels, endocrine and nervous disorders. Smoking is of particular importance for the onset of hypertension. The ingestion of nicotine into the blood always causes a short-term narrowing of the vessels, which leads to a temporary increase in blood pressure in them.
Again, the vessels dilate after 30-40 minutes. But if a person smokes cigarettes every 30-40 minutes, the narrowed vessels do not even have time to relax and are constantly in a tense state. The pressure in them is constantly increased.
In the end, the narrowing of the vessels becomes the norm and the same norm will be increased blood pressure. This is hypertension or hypertension.
Treatment of hypertension
The treatment of hypertension is a complex and difficult matter. Patients suffering from this disease usually know their "medicines" well: Rauvazan, Raunatin, Adelfan, Clofelin, Enam or Enap, etc.
But you can not always live only on medicines. This will not withstand any liver. Therefore, in the initial stages of hypertension, as well as in periods of relative well-being, one should try to avoid medication and switch to medicinal plants and collections. They act "gently" and in most cases are not addictive and do not have a toxic effect on the liver.
Therefore, when treating hypertensive disease, you should always give preference to herbal medicines. However, one should not forget that herbal treatment is an auxiliary treatment that helps to reduce the amount of medicines consumed.
Often even doctors say that hypertension is incurable. But this is not so.
Hypertensive illness can be cured, but for this, the patient needs to have a strong desire to be cured.
The main thing in the treatment is a complete cleansing of the body of toxins and switching to vegetarian food. Do not forget about such therapeutic factors as a proper diet (less salt!), Therapeutic gymnastics and spa treatment.
Hypertensive disease is a primary long-term increase in blood pressure, not due to organic changes in the cardiovascular system.
Why does the pressure increase?
The disease develops as a result of prolonged and violent nervous and nervous system stresses that cause stagnant foci of excitation in the cortical cells of the brain. This leads first to temporary, and then to constant spasms of small vessels and to an increase in diastolic pressure. With an increase in diastolic pressure, the load on the left ventricle of the heart increases and, as a result, the systolic pressure rises.
A prolonged spasm of arterioles leads to the development of sclerotic changes in them, and this contributes to the persistent preservation and further development of hypertension.
A significant role in the development of hypertensive disease is played by the kidneys. If there is a violation of blood circulation in the kidneys, they form vasoconstrictive substances, which further increase blood pressure.
Most often hypertensive disease occurs in people of middle age and elderly. In its development, the disease passes through several stages - at first it is purely functional (manifested only under physical stress and in stressful situations), then organic changes appear in the vessels and, finally, signs of insufficiency of various organs develop.
Symptoms, signs and manifestations of hypertension
In the initial stages of the disease, patients complain of headaches, tinnitus, rapid fatigue and weakness, a feeling of pulsation of vessels in the temples, heaviness in the head, tides. Then, stiffening of the fingers, a feeling of creeping creeps may appear. Arterial pressure at this time rises only temporarily and with the termination of the action of the irritating agent (excitement, stress, physical stress) comes to normal. With time, as the sclerotic changes in the vessels develop, the increase in blood pressure becomes persistent. In this phase, dizziness, headaches, a sense of heaviness in the head become permanent.
With further development of hypertensive disease, there are signs of insufficiency of individual organs most severely affected by sclerosis. It should be said that not all organs are evenly affected. In most cases, the heart, the brain and the kidneys suffer.
Whenprimary affection of the heartpatients complain of periodic pain in the heart, caused by spasm of the coronary vessels and myocardial ischemia, shortness of breath and attacks of suffocation.
Whenprimary lesion of cerebral vesselsFrom time to time there is a spasm of cerebral vessels, which is manifested by sudden headaches, vomiting, temporary loss of vision, sometimes paresis of the intestine.
Whenprimary renal damagecan develop the phenomenon of kidney failure.
However, it is very rare that in hypertensive illness only one organ is affected - mixed forms are more common, when all organs are simultaneously affected.
Depending on the degree of involvement of one or another organ, the cardiac, cerebral and renal forms of the disease are distinguished.
Treatment of hypertension with folk remedies at home
In the treatment of hypertension, and, consequently, the reduction in blood pressure and its stabilization, the main thing is to restore normal cortical regulation of blood pressure by providing a hygienic lifestyle and prescribing appropriate medications.
Patients should rest and sleep enough. It is necessary to eliminate all factors that affect the nervous system. In all stages of the disease, sedatives are needed (valerian, bromides, Elenium, etc.). With headaches, soothing and distracting agents use mustard plasters to the calves, to the nape, applying 6-8 leeches on the region of the mastoid processes, hot foot baths. Sometimes helps to bleeding in an amount of 200-300 ml.
When hypertensive crisis (a sharp increase in blood pressure) shows bed rest, leeches, bloodletting.
In the patient's diet, foods rich in cholesterol should be restricted: fatty meat, eggs, brains, butter. Prohibited sharp and salty dishes, gravies, meat soups. The salt and liquid must be strictly limited. Categorically prohibited tobacco smoking and the use of alcoholic beverages.
Therapeutic baths lower the pressure
A warm bath is a wonderful relaxing, soothing and cleansing remedy. As a method of treatment, baths in dermatology are one of the best means invented by man.
