Dear readers and friends, Articolo originale in OlisticaMente Kokoro
Today I present to you a very interesting article of practical herbal medicine: ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION. We will see some herbal remedies that work but as always, before making self-diagnoses and do-it-yourself treatments, it is always better to go to a doctor.
NB When the results of a therapy based on medicinal plants should be disappointing, resort, without hesitation, to synthetic medicines that your trusted doctor will recommend.
Hypertension: is an increase in blood pressure within arterial vessels compared to the values defined as "normal" (above 90 mmHg minimum or "diastolic" and 140 mmHg maximum or "systolic"). The term systole means contraction, while the term diastole means dilatation. The blood pressure in the arteries is therefore maximum during the contraction of the left ventricle and minimum during its relaxation. The increase in blood pressure can derive from a precise cause (for example a brain tumor, kidney disease, etc.), in which case we will speak of " secondary hypertension" and the therapy will consist in eliminating the cause, when possible also acting with symptomatic drugs to bring the pressure back to normal values and thus avoid cerebral or cardio-circulatory complications. If, on the other hand, the cause cannot be identified, we will speak of "essential hypertension". This type of hypertension affects a large number of people of both sexes and of various ages, showing the first significant symptoms between the ages of 40 and 60. The origin is often familial, so much so that hypertensives most likely have children destined to be hypertensive. Favoring agents are often anxiety, stress and the living conditions in which the mental and physical tension are dominant factors. The most common symptoms are headache, tension in the neck, palpitations, agitation, insomnia, marked irritability, ringing and whistling in the ears. The complications can be various and sometimes very serious, such as for example: heart damage , intracranial and ocular hemorrhages, renal insufficiency, etc ...
Herbal Remedies for Hypertension.
- Mistletoe Viscum crataegi (aerial part with berries) TM: (antidepressant, diuretic) 10-20 drops, 3 times a day.
- Olive tree Olea europaea (young shoots) MG: (hypocholesterolemic, hypoglycaemic, lipid-lowering) 30 drops, 2 times a day.
- Linden Tilia tomentosa (buds) MG: (anxiolytic, general sedative) 20-30 drops, 3 times a day.
Hypertension is a complex disease and each patient has a very personal reactivity to drugs. Therefore this average scheme, which is otherwise very valid, must be highly personalized in the choice of remedies and dosages, bearing in mind that it is also possible to arrive at higher dosages than those indicated, namely:
Viscum c., TM . = 10 to 40 drops, 2-3 times a day
Olea e., MG = up to 40 drops, 1-2 times a day
Tilia t., MG = up to 40 drops, 1-3 times a day
In any case, to provide an average and general administration scheme and to facilitate the intake, 40 gtt can be mixed. of the three remedies mentioned above in the same glass and take them in a little water before the three main meals. It is therefore important to find the minimum amount sufficient to control blood pressure values.

Before concluding once again I strongly advise not to undertake any treatment without the assistance of authorized personnel.
