Homoeopathic Approach In The Management Of Essential Hypertension
Main Article Content
Abstract
Hypertension (HTN) or elevated blood pressure is a serious medical condition that significantly increases the risk of heart, brain, kidney, and other diseases. HTN in an adult is said to be present when clinical systolic and diastolic blood pressure exceed 140 mm and 90 mm of hg, respectively. An estimated 1.28 billion people aged 30–79 years have HTN worldwide, most (two-thirds) living in low- and middle-income countries (World Health Organization). Homoeopathy can be useful in managing HTN and its complications, for which a proper knowledge of treatment modalities available in homoeopathy is essential.
