Hypertension

Hypertension or High Blood Pressure is a condition characterized by greater than normal flow of blood through blood vessels which is blood pressure over 140 mmHg in systolic and more than 90 mmHg in diastolic reading. By the year 2025, as many as 1.56 billion individuals are predicted to become hypertension sufferers. AtNirvana Naturopathy, we are constantly trying to reverse this with the help of all-natural methods and therapies which aim to rectify the disorder from within.

Hypertension can lead to problems like:

• Damaged blood vessels

• Cardiac strain

• Kidney problems

• Higher risk of stroke and heart attack

• Untimely death

Generally, high blood pressure does not manifest itself with any symptoms. Many people do not even realize the presence of the condition. According to experts, every person should have their blood pressure checked at least once a year. The condition can result from various factors, such as obesity, kidney disease and hereditary factors. The condition worsens due to diabetes, high blood cholesterol, saturated fat-rich diet and smoking of cigarettes. Our experts at Nirvana Naturopathy aim to determine which of these factors are the actual trigger factor for your hypertension problems, and devises remedies individualized to your specific health condition.

Hypertension Diagnosis and Treatment:

Questions on lifestyle and medical history analysis are usually enough for us to diagnose your condition. In some cases, we conduct tests in order to determine whether or not any underlying complications are there. We generally cure high blood pressure problems with lifestyle modification measures and herbal treatment. In case of stress, we use massages and mud therapy in order to provide relief. We also recommend dietary changes in order to ensure easier relief from high blood pressure problems. Our recommended lifestyle modification measures usually consist of:

• Regular physical exercise in moderate intensity

• Salt restriction

• Weight reduction

• Low fat diet

• High fruit and vegetable intake

• Moderate alcohol intake

The type of approach chosen for treatment depends on the basis of the health condition of an individual as well as the presence of any other health problem.
