What is\u00a0Hypertension<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hypertension<\/a>, or\u00a0High Blood Pressure<\/a>, can be defined as the force that the blood exerts on the veins and arteries while it circulates around the body.<\/p>\n

Blood pressure is controlled by a variety of organs and body systems, including the heart, the blood vessels, the kidneys, the brain and the\u00a0Adrenal Glands<\/a>, as well as the complex interaction between the body systems.<\/p>\n

We measure blood pressure by using two different numbers –\u00a0Systolic<\/a>\u00a0pressure (the top number) over\u00a0Diastolic<\/a>\u00a0pressure (the bottom number).\u00a0Systolic<\/a>\u00a0pressure measures blood pressure as the heart contracts and pushes blood through the arteries.\u00a0Diastolic<\/a>\u00a0pressure is taken when the heart relaxes.<\/p>\n

Normal blood pressure is around 120\/80 or lower. It is important to note that blood pressure varies from person to person and can fluctuate from moment to moment. One or two high readings does not necessarily mean that you have\u00a0Hypertension<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0High Blood Pressure<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If your blood pressure has measured 140\/90 or higher on at least two separate occasions, your doctor should recommend a 24 hour BP (blood pressure) monitor, which will show whether your BP remains chronically high. This will help to measure whether you have\u00a0Hypertension<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0High Blood Pressure<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How do I know whether I have\u00a0Hypertension<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0High Blood Pressure<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hypertension<\/a>\u00a0is sometimes known as the Silent Killer, because it often has no symptoms at all.<\/p>\n

Sometimes people with\u00a0High Blood Pressure<\/a>\u00a0experience\u00a0Headaches<\/a>, dizziness or a ringing sound in their ears, but these symptoms may also be due to other causes.<\/p>\n

The best way to find out whether you have\u00a0High Blood Pressure<\/a>\u00a0is to visit your doctor, homeopath, naturopath or other health care provider.<\/p>\n

What causes\u00a0Hypertension<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0High Blood Pressure<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although the causes are not always known,\u00a0High Blood Pressure<\/a>\u00a0can often run in families, indicating a strong genetic component.<\/p>\n

Risk factors for\u00a0High Blood Pressure<\/a>\u00a0include smoking, alcohol abuse, obesity, a high salt intake, lack of\u00a0Exercise<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Stress<\/a>\u00a0– and a family history of\u00a0Hypertension<\/a>\u00a0and stroke.<\/p>\n

Arteriosclerosis, or a thickening, hardening and narrowing of the walls of the arteries is also often associated with\u00a0High Blood Pressure<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How is\u00a0Hypertension<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0High Blood Pressure<\/a>\u00a0usually treated?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is very important to take steps to control\u00a0High Blood Pressure<\/a>. If it is left untreated, it can result in\u00a0Heart Disease<\/a>\u00a0or even stroke.<\/p>\n

The good news is that\u00a0High Blood Pressure<\/a>\u00a0can be well controlled by combining a healthy lifestyle with the correct medical treatment.<\/p>\n

This can include synthetic prescription medication,\u00a0Natural Remedies<\/a>\u00a0or a combination of both. If you are already taking prescription blood pressure medication, it is important to consult your doctor before making any changes.<\/p>\n

There are many different prescription drugs for\u00a0High Blood Pressure<\/a>\u00a0including vasodilators, alpha-blockers, beta-blockers, diuretics, etc. Each has a different way of working and different drugs may work for different people.<\/p>\n

You may need to try a variety before you find the right drug or combination of drugs suitable for you.<\/p>\n

Like many synthetic drugs, anti-hypertensive medication has a risk of causing side effects, which depend on the person as well as the type of drug being taken.<\/p>\n

These can include, dizziness,\u00a0Nausea<\/a>, stomach problems, fatigue,\u00a0Impotence<\/a>,\u00a0Insomnia<\/a>, loss of appetite and others. Always speak to your doctor if you are having problems.<\/p>\n

What about\u00a0Natural Remedies<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are many well known\u00a0Natural Remedies<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0High Blood Pressure<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Hypertension<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Conventional medicines usually treat the symptoms of\u00a0High Blood Pressure<\/a>, but seldom address the underlying causes.<\/p>\n

Naturopaths recognize that\u00a0High Blood Pressure<\/a>\u00a0may be a sign or symptom of imbalance in the body and know that the best way to treat it is by a combination of lifestyle changes and\u00a0Natural Remedies<\/a>\u00a0to remove the causes of the\u00a0High Blood Pressure<\/a>, rather than simply treating the symptoms.<\/p>\n

Can\u00a0Herbal Remedies<\/a>\u00a0and dietary supplements really help?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is a great deal of scientific evidence to suggest that the use of carefully chosen\u00a0Herbal Remedies<\/a>\u00a0and dietary supplements can help to lower blood pressure, as well as to improve the overall functioning of the heart, arteries and the entire\u00a0Cardiovascular System<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What herbalists have known for centuries has now been clinically proven to be a potentially effective alternative to synthetic blood pressure medication, especially if combined with a healthy diet and regular\u00a0Exercise<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What is\u00a0High-Rite<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

High-Rite<\/a>\u00a0comes in capsule form and contains\u00a0Herbs<\/a>\u00a0which have been carefully selected to balance and regulate blood pressure and also to address some of the contributory factors which may be causing it.<\/p>\n

While some of the ingredients in\u00a0High-Rite<\/a>\u00a0specifically target blood vessels which have become constricted, others improve the heart\u2019s ability to pump blood effectively, while also treating and preventing\u00a0Plaque<\/a>\u00a0build up in the arteries.<\/p>\n

In addition to these properties,\u00a0High-Rite<\/a>\u00a0also helps to reduce\u00a0Stress<\/a>\u00a0and boost the body\u2019s ability to fight illness. Each herb is in therapeutic dosage for maximum effect.<\/p>\n

High-Rite<\/a>\u00a0contains the following carefully selected herbs:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Crataegus oxyacantha (Hawthorn) is one of the most highly respected\u00a0Natural Remedies<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0High Blood Pressure<\/a>\u00a0and has well-known cardio-protective properties. Hawthorn works by dilating blood vessels, thereby increasing the heart\u2019s energy supply and improving its pumping ability and does this by blocking the action of a blood constricting enzyme called ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme). Hawthorn therefore reduces blood pressure in cases where there are chronically constricted arteries. The anti-oxidant properties of hawthorn also help to protect against damage caused by\u00a0Plaque<\/a>\u00a0build up in the coronary arteries.<\/p>\n

Passiflora incarnata is a well known calmative herb which also relaxes blood vessels and reduces blood pressure.<\/p>\n

Viburnum opulus (Guelder\u00a0Rose<\/a>\u00a0bark) is a very effective cardiac tonic and muscle relaxant. It is known to\u00a0Relax<\/a>\u00a0the\u00a0Cardiovascular System<\/a>\u00a0and also to relieve\u00a0Nervous<\/a>\u00a0Tension<\/a>, often associated with\u00a0High Blood Pressure<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ginkgo Biloba<\/a>\u00a0is one of the oldest trees on the planet, dating back about 200 million years. It has survived mainly in Oriental temple gardens, where it is highly prized for its medicinal properties in Chinese Traditional Medicine. Modern studies have demonstrated the significant effect that\u00a0Ginkgo Biloba<\/a>\u00a0has on the\u00a0Cardiovascular System<\/a>, relaxing blood vessels, acting as a circulatory stimulant and\u00a0Anti-Inflammatory<\/a>. One of the most important active ingredients, ginkgolide, has been clinically shown to be just as effective as standard pharmaceutical drugs in treating irregular heart beats. Improving blood flow throughout the body,\u00a0Ginkgo Biloba<\/a>\u00a0can also reduce blood \u2019stickiness\u2019, which lowers the risk of blood clots.<\/p>\n

What is\u00a0Aqua-Rite<\/a>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aqua-Rite<\/a>\u00a0comes in concentrated tincture form and is especially formulated as a companion remedy for\u00a0High-Rite<\/a>, especially in cases where\u00a0Water Retention<\/a>\u00a0is associated with\u00a0High Blood Pressure<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Acting as a natural\u00a0Diuretic<\/a>,Aqua-Rite<\/a>\u00a0also helps to balance blood pressure, assist liver and\u00a0Gall Bladder Functioning<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Improve Circulation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Diuretics cause the kidneys to remove more sodium and water from the body, which helps to\u00a0Relax<\/a>\u00a0the blood vessel walls, thereby lowering blood pressure.<\/p>\n

Aqua-Rite<\/a>\u00a0contains the following carefully selected herbs:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Agathosma betulina (buchu) is one of South Africa\u2019s best known\u00a0Medicinal Plants<\/a>\u00a0and has been used by the indigenous peoples of the area for centuries to treat a wide range of ailments. It is an effective\u00a0Diuretic<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Anti-Inflammatory<\/a>. Early Dutch settlers used buchu to make a brandy tincture and Boegoebrandewyn (buchu brandy) is still used today to treat many disorders.<\/p>\n

Taraxacum officinale (Dandelion<\/a>) is a rich source of\u00a0Vitamins<\/a>\u00a0and minerals, including Vitamin A, D, C, various B\u00a0Vitamins<\/a>, iron, lecithin, silicon, potassium, magnesium, zinc and manganese. It enhances liver and\u00a0Gall Bladder Functioning<\/a>\u00a0and may decrease\u00a0High Blood Pressure<\/a>\u00a0due to its\u00a0Diuretic<\/a>\u00a0properties.<\/p>\n

Olea europea is well known for its ability to lower blood pressure, improve circulatory functioning and balance blood\u00a0Sugar Levels<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Caution: Safety in\u00a0Pregnancy<\/a>\u00a0has not yet been established. Use only under medical supervision if you are also using prescription medication for\u00a0Hypertension<\/a>. Because these\u00a0Herbs<\/a>\u00a0are very effective in controlling blood pressure levels, the dosage of your prescription drugs may need to be reduced or even stopped altogether.<\/em><\/p>\n
