Hypertension is a dangerous cardiovascular disease, which is characterized by a pathological, far from normal, high blood pressure.
Without a doubt, its danger and even insidiousness lies in the fact that pathology is often disguised as a usual malaise or overwork of the body.
And although hypertension can be easily detected with a preventive medical examination, underestimation and untimely treatment of the disease can cause myocardial infarction or stroke.
How to recognize hypertension?
The main symptoms of high blood pressure:
• characteristic headaches, pressing and exhausting
• noise in ears
• cardiopalmus
• a sharp deterioration in well-being
• sleep loss
• feeling of intense pressure in the eyes
• vomiting
• sweating
• chills
• redness of the face
• unreasonable anxiety
Hypertension occurs due to circulatory disorders. Due to frequent vascular spasms, arterial hypertension is characterized by high blood pressure in excess of safe 140.
The causes of hypertension, in which treatment with folk remedies is necessary, are as follows:
• hereditary predisposition
• heart failure
• prolonged nervous exertion or frequent stressful situations
• in women, hypertension may appear as a result of rearrangement of the body with menopause
• abnormal salt content in the body
• overweight (obesity)
• bad habits (alcohol or smoking)
• passion for coffee
• sedentary lifestyle
• long time at the computer
High blood pressure is dangerous with a hypertensive crisis or exacerbation. Each such exacerbation deals a strong blow to the internal organs (heart, brain, kidneys). Hypertensive crisis is fraught with serious complications and can even cause premature death.
Therefore, it is very important to understand in time that a disorder has occurred in the body and it is time to go to a specialist for a consultation. He is able to establish the correct diagnosis and choose a method of treatment that would prevent the development of exacerbations.
Of course, with severe hypertension, serious medication is necessary, but at the initial stage of the disease, you can try to use simple folk remedies: various herbal diuretics, as well as drugs containing potassium and magnesium as opposed to sodium.

General recommendations for the treatment of hypertension with folk remedies
As the ancient Greeks said: "A disease is easier to prevent than to treat it later." In this regard, use some recommendations of specialists in the prevention and treatment of an existing disease:
1. It is known that people who have a weight that is far from the norm suffer from hypertension much more often than those who do not have extra pounds. Do not forget that physical exercises (morning exercises, jogging, breathing exercises) contribute not only to weight loss, but also develop endurance, self-discipline, increase performance, which, in turn, will prevent hypertension.
2. Often, blood pressure rises as a result of stressful situations or excessive psychological stress. Learn to run away from stress and lead a calm, measured lifestyle.
3. It is important to maintain a proper balanced diet and adhere to a low salt diet, as excessive amounts of sodium in sodium chloride contribute to the development of the disease.
If you have hypertension, then reduce the amount of salt consumed. Learn not to add salt to ready-made meals. Does the food seem fresh and tasteless to you? Add spices and herbs.
Currently, you can buy low sodium salt. Such a product does not differ in taste from ordinary salt, but does not harm hypertension.
4. Monitor your blood pressure, measure it daily, writing data in a special notebook.
5. The treatment of hypertension involves dieting. In mild cases, correction of nutrition helps to "keep" the pressure in normal.
The patient should minimize the use of smoked meats, pickles, marinades. The diet should not include foods rich in cholesterol. In addition, it is necessary to gradually reduce the amount of butter, cheese, sausage, sour cream.
And another thing: nicotine contained in tobacco smoke, getting into the bloodstream, causes vasospasms. Damaging the walls of arteries causes the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. Based on this, a definite conclusion can be drawn - alcohol and smoking are the enemy of blood pressure.
So, summing up, we can say with confidence that hypertension is treatable. A lifestyle that includes proper nutrition, physical activity and, of course, abandonment of bad habits, as well as the use of simple alternative methods of treating hypertension, makes it possible to find something for which people donate a lot - health.
