ARTERIAL HYPOTENSION (synonym LOW PRESSURE): is characterized for the presence of blood pressure levels considered below normal, which is 110 mm / Hg for systolic pressure (maximum) and 70 mm Hg for diastolic pressure (minimum). Very often the causes of the arterial hypotension remain unknown since he can often occur in people in good general health. It is very frequent in young people, particularly in warm weather. Typical symptoms include fatigue, listlessness, dizziness and sometimes headache.
USEFUL PLANTS: Cola nitida (Cola), Eleutherococcus senticosus (Siberian ginseng), Glycyrrhiza glabra (Licorice), Panax ginseng (Ginseng), Paulina cupana (Guarana), Rhodiola rosea (Rodiola).
ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION (synonymous with high blood pressure): it consists in increasing blood pressure. The maximum pressure is called systolic and the minimum pressure diastolic. It may be predominantly systolic hypertension (increase of the maximum pressure), diastolic hypertension (increase of the the minimum pressure) or systodiastolic hypertension (increase of both). In healthy systolic blood pressure should not exceed 140 mm / Hg and diastolic blood pressure 90 mm / Hg. Very often the causes of hypertension remain unknown, and this is called essential hypertension. It is a very dangerous disease in itself and even more so when associated with diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis and hypercholesterolemia, as it damages the blood vessels and promotes the development of atherosclerosis (see Atherosclerosis). Typical symptoms include headache, particularly at the top of the head, dizziness, appearance of small spots in the visual field and general malaise.
USEFUL PLANTS: Allium sativum (garlic), Crataegus oxyacantha and Crataegus monogyna (Hawthorn), Olea europaea (Olive), Ortosiphon stamineus (Ortosifon or Java tea).
