High blood pressure | Natural simple home cure

High blood pressure is a common condition in which blood force against artery walls is high. The more blood the heart pumps and the narrower the arteries are, the higher blood pressure. High blood pressure (hypertension) can go for years without any symptoms. Uncontrolled high blood pressure increases the risk for heart attacks, strokes. High blood pressure is often associated with elevated uric acid in the blood and sometimes recurring kidney stones. It is a sign of kidney exhaustion. Sometimes high blood pressure is caused by long standing infections anywhere in the body that overburden the kidneys resulting in high blood pressure. Long standing diabetes also leads to high blood pressure. High blood pressure is often associated with elevated blood triglycerides and cholesterol and gout. High blood pressure patients are more likely to develop gallstones than others. Some people are genetically predisposed to developing high blood pressure. But this genetic factor can be negated by eating healthily.

High blood pressure in alternative natural medicine

According to the natural law of duality (where expansion = yin, contraction = yang), high blood pressure is a contractive illness (hypertension, high pressure, tight blood vessels). High blood pressure is triggered by a passing illness, a trauma or a crisis. But the underlying cause of high blood pressure, like most illnesses, is the accumulation of faulty eating habits that violate the natural law of duality and produce imbalance and lowered immunity. High blood pressure is an illness of the third stage among the seven stages of illness. High blood pressure is directly related to the kidneys, so the lungs-pancreas should also be considered in natural treatment. Lungs-pancreas are mother-father of the kidneys in the five elements theory of natural medicine.

High blood pressure natural alternative treatment and cure

Food is best natural treatment. Foods affect high blood pressure positively or adversely depending on their type. Foods that restore natural balance cure high blood pressure naturally without side effects. High blood pressure is contractive, and foods that cause contraction (meat, cheese, carrots and vitamin A, etc.) will raise blood pressure. Foods that cause expansion will naturally lower blood pressure and restore it to normal. With the right diet, high blood pressure can be cured completely. It takes from a couple of weeks to several months to cure high blood pressure depending on its severity, associated chronic illnesses and heredity.

High blood pressure and salt

Most high blood pressure patients are advised to cut back on their salt intake. Meat, dairy and fat are more detrimental in raising blood pressure. These foods all cause contraction. They all increase blood pressure. High blood pressure patients find that when they follow the right diet, they can start taking salt in moderate amounts without any adverse effects on their blood pressure.
