Hypertension is an elevated blood pressure, where systolic pressure is more than 160 mm hg and diastolic pressure is more than 95 mm hg. Blood pressure is necessary for blood circulation through arteries and provide to oxygen and nutrients to the body tissues. High BP is not a disease but a symptom signifying some disease is progressing. Most of the times hypertension is asymptomatic, but can be easily diagnosed and treated by Naturopathy. Hypertension damages the blood pumping function of the heart and if not treated on time, it may damage the heart, brain and kidneys. Thus leading to the complications like stroke, heart attack, retinal hemorrhage, arteriosclerosis and neurological disorders.
