Homeopathic Remedies for Lowering Blood Pressure

A diagnosis of high blood pressure with no direct cause is often attributed to lifestyle habits such as poor eating, smoking and stress. This form of high blood pressure is referred to as essential hypertension or primary hypertension. Blood pressure is regulated by a highly complex system and fluctuates constantly according to our level of stress and physical activity. Homeopathic remedies can help to regulate and even lower blood pressure safely and naturally.

It is considered appropriate for individuals who exhibit a nervous, irritable, restless personality and who find their overall physical symptoms improve (such as dissipation of dizziness, which is a common symptom of high blood pressure) when they are active and tend to worsen in the early afternoon or late evening, and when resting or sitting still.

Uranium nitricum
