Your homeopathic low blood pressure remedies use very small dosage to treat the illness. It can raise blood pressure by stimulating your own body system. If you are looking for home remedies instead of homeopathic remedies, then visit home remedies for low blood pressure. Even if you are having abnormal low blood pressure, it can rise to normal using homeopathic remedies. Homeopathy remedies are highly individualized based on both physical as well as mental symptoms, thus treatment will be effective.
Low blood pressure remedies at a glance
Adrenaline - stimulates sympathetic nerves, Cactus Grandiflorus - for feeble, irregular, quick & weak heart pulse, Camphor - Icy cold body, sudden sinking of strength, weak pulse, Viscum album - dilated blood vessels, Heart pulse small & weak, Carbo Vegetabilis - sluggish, lazy, blood stagnates - coldness, fear.
Adrenaline low BP remedy stimulates sympathetic nerves Adrenaline also knows as Epinephrine. The active principle of the medulla of the suprarenal gland, (cortical secretion not yet isolated), is employed as a chemical messenger in the regulation of the activities of the body; in fact, its presence is essential to the activity of the sympathetic nerve. Adrenaline stimulates sympathetic nerve endings, with resulting rise in blood pressure. This is especially observed in stomach, intestines; less in uterus, skin; nil in brain and lungs. Furthermore, is noticed, slowing of pulse, (medullary vagus stimulation), and strengthening of the heart beat (increased myocardial contractility), increased glandular activity, glycosuria; depression of the respiratory center; contraction of muscular tissue of eye, uterus, vagina; relaxation of muscular tissue of stomach, intestines, bladder. Dosage: Because of its affinity for oxygen, the drug easily decomposes in watery and dilutes acid solutions. The solution must protect from air and light. It must not too frequently repeat, owing to cardiac and arterial lesions. For homeopathic use 2x to 6x attenuation is preferred.
Cactus Grandiflorus hypotension remedy for weak heart This hypotension remedy is suitable for those who have a feeble, irregular, quick, & weak heart pulse. It is the heart and arteries, especially that at once respond to the influence of Cactus,
producing very characteristic constrictions as of an iron band. The mental signs are melancholy, tacitum, sad, ill-humored, fear of death, screams with pain, and anxiety. There are congestions or an irregular distribution of blood. Heart signs are weak heart, pulse feeble, irregular, quick-without-strength, endocardial murmurs, excessive impulse, increased pri-cordial dullness, enlarged ventricle, Low blood pressure. Suggested dosage is a tincture (best made from flowers), to third attenuation. Higher should be for nervous palpitation.
Camphor low blood pressure remedy for low strength & pulse This natural low BP remedy is preferred for those with icy coldness of the whole body; sudden sinking of strength; pulse small and weak. If temperature is subnormal, low blood pressure, three doses camphor 1x, 15-minute intervals. Palpitation, Breath cold, suspended respiration. Suggested dosage is a tincture, in drop doses, repeated frequently, or smelling of Spirits of Camphor. Potencies are equally effective.
Carbo Vegetabilis low BP remedy for chronic complaints This natural low blood pressure remedy is best suitable for sluggish, fat, lazy and has a tendency to chronic complaints. Blood seems to stagnate in the capillaries, causing blueness, coldness,
and ecchymosis. For low vital, power due to loss of fluids, aversion to darkness, fear of ghosts and sudden loss of memory. Stomach signs are Eructation, heaviness, fullness, and sleepiness. Suggested dosage is first to third trituration in stomach disorders. Thirtieth potency and higher is suitable for chronic conditions and collapse.Low blood pressure remedies usage procedure Homeopathic remedies are effective in your low blood pressure treatment without any side effects. However, do not give up your conventional medicine until there is a visible effectiveness of your homeopathic remedies that is your blood pressure level reaches normal. Then you can slowly reduce & discard the drug medicine.
Most homeopathic practitioners and regular users considered it as safe, although there is limited safety research on homeopathy. Because homeopathy is highly individualized, so difficult, assess its overall safety. There are no published reports of serious adverse effects. Practically homeopathic remedies of dosage 30C or greater does not even have a single molecule of the original medicine, so there is literally no chance for any unwanted side effects. Furthermore, all dosages of homeopathic medicines are considering safe by most of the homeopathic practitioners and their regular users.
Viscum album Homeopathic Mother Tincture as an
Antihypertensive
A Pilot Study has been published in the Journal of Evidence Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine which looks at a rarely used homeopathic remedy - and it's use in treating hypertension. Interestingly the medicine that was given to the patients was a preparation of Mistletoe - which has a long history of use throughout Europe, Asia and Africa - and has traditionally been used as a cardiac medication. The researchers found that the Mistletoe extract lowered blood pressure safely and that it also lowered serum triglycerides. The researchers comment that they would like to see Mistletoe extract being used to treat high blood pressure in future, both on it's own and in conjunction with conventional medicines where appropriate.
Viscum album, an infrequently used antihypertensive in homeopathy, is evaluated by 1-group pretest–posttest model in primary hypertension. The drug was administered for 12 weeks at a dosage of 10 drops 3 times a day. Using paired t test, a significant drop in blood pressure (P < .0001) and serum triglyceride (P < .0001) was observed in the treatment group. This dual effect of Viscum album shows promise in optimizing therapy for primary hypertension.
Hypertension has a multifactorial etiology that leads to systemic vascular damage that has a propensity to induce cardiovascular as well as noncardiovascular complications. Hypertension follows an insidious onset, at times only noted in routine check-up, which prevents early diagnosis.1 The ever-increasing global morbidity and mortality is pegged down to hypertension. Epidemiological studies have established a strong association between hypertension and fatal and nonfatal events. The long-standing cardiovascular complications of hypertension include atherosclerosis, angina, myocardial infarction, and congestive cardiac failure.2 As hypertension is a chronic illness, drug therapy needs to be taken for a long period (even lifelong). Despite the multitude of antihypertensive drugs available, only 17% to 27% of hypertensives achieve optimal blood pressure.3 The aim of therapy in hypertension is to lower the blood pressure to near-normalcy without incidental fluctuation.
Although the modern system of medicine has a wide array of drugs for treating hypertension, it is confounded by persistently annoying adverse drug reaction. Lowering blood pressure is the main target to reach in the attempt to reduce cardiovascular complications in hypertensive patients.4 Moreover resistant hypertension is not uncommon and is associated with an elevated risk of hypertensive complications. Importantly, the prevalence of multiple disease conditions has been increasing during the past years, suggesting a future increase in the frequency of resistant hypertension.5 In this scenario the search for a novel drug from the alternative system of medicine would be promising and imperative. Homeopathic preparation does offer antihypertensive options of which Viscum album 6 has been used for over 2 centuries.
The crude mistletoe extract prevents changes in erythrocytes, packed cell volume of erythrocytes, plasma protein levels, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate, which indicates that the extract prevents changes in blood viscosity—a major determinant of arterial blood pressure.7 Moreover, an animal trial of Viscum album aqueous extract on albino Wistar rats has shown antihypertensive effect without any change in heart rate.8 Lack of scientific validation by a clinical trial made this drug the choice for this study. Hence, our research initiative is to clinically validate the effect of Viscum album on hypertension by undertaking a simple methodology involving a few laboratory parameters.
The experimental model of “1-group pretest–posttest study” design was taken up due to ethical and administrative reasons. The parameters used in this study to prove the efficacy of the drug are systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, serum cholesterol, and serum triglycerides. These biochemical parameters were included to find the probable domains of the drug and antecedent beneficial effects. Serum lactate dehydrogenase, serum urea, and serum creatine phosphokinase myocardial band would indicate potential adverse effects.
Viscum album, a bi-perennial shrub distributed widely in tropical and subtropical region of Africa, Asia, and Europe,9 is one of the main medicinal plants used in African folk medicines to treat arterial hypertension.10 The drug showed a significant reduction in the mean value of systolic as well diastolic blood pressure, which could be attributed to a mechanism involving nitric oxide synthase-2 and nitric oxide synthase-3 overexpression and thereby a correlated increase in nitric oxide and cyclic guanosine monophosphate production. The aforementioned biochemical process may activate a nonspecific noncompetitive inhibition of calcium (2+) influx as well as Ca (2+) mobilization from intracellular stores.12 The result is vasorelaxation.
The evaluation of biochemical parameters, namely, serum urea, serum lactate dehydrogenase, serum cholesterol, and serum triglycerides, may not give a firm understanding of the pharmacological activity but will definitely give its propensity.
The mean value of serum urea increased from 24.6 to 28.5 mg/dL (P = .01). Although it is a significant increase, none of the individuals of the treatment group had value above normal (normal = 50 mg/dL). This shows that the drug might be safe and may be administered to patients having renal impairment. The above-mentioned observation is further strengthened by the antioxidant studies on liver, kidney, and heart tissues of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. This study concludes by stating that Viscum album has a potent antioxidant activity.13 But the study on tolerability of mistletoe among immune-compromised individuals showed an increased serum urea nitrogen and serum creatinine levels. Therefore, the observation of a statistically significant increase of serum urea within the normal limits has to be viewed cautiously.
The lipid profile of the treatment group showed statistically significant reduction in triglycerides (P < .0001) and no change in serum cholesterol (P = .142). This observation does not give a clear impression of the antilipidemic property of the drug when viewed in light of research studies conducted by Avci et al15 and Ben et al.16 The study of Avci et al noted reduction in lipid profile of Viscum album–treated mice rats, whereas the study of Ben et al reported increased serum cholesterol in Viscum album–treated male wistar rats. This uncertainty in the antilipidemic property of the drug is further strengthened due to lack of complete lipid profile analysis in the study. This area requires a detailed and a thorough inquiry.
The extract, which is considered to be safe as per preclinical study17 and systematic review of clinical and animal experiments,18 increased levels of serum lactate dehydrogenase and creatine phosphokinase myocardial band in the treatment group. These 2 markers depict the integrity of cardiac muscle. Although the mean value of serum lactate dehydrogenase of the sample rose significantly (P = .006), it was within the normal range, and none of the individuals showed any adverse clinical signs or symptoms. This observation becomes relevant due to the increase of the mean value of creatine phosphokinase myocardial band in which 11 individuals had values above normal limits. The aforementioned parallel rise in cardiac markers gives a strong leaning toward the cardiotoxic capability of the drug, which may be attributed to the presence of viscotoxins19 and lectins20 in the extract.
Hypertension is often associated with dyslipidemia, and therapy with Viscum album will definitely be doubly beneficial for those who are suffering from hypertension and hypertriglyceridemia. This 2-pronged effect of Viscum album would be ideal in treating preeclampsic states where there is hypertension and raised triglycerides.2
Conclusion
Viscum album can be considered as a good choice to regulate blood pressure as well as to lower serum triglyceride levels. The usual pharmacotherapy of hypertension is affected through sympatholytic, vasodilatory, and diuretic effects. The chemical characterization of Viscum album is different from those drugs used in the modern system of medicines and it putatively acts through calcium channels, which could be modulated by other drugs that could lead to synergism. The authors would recommend further comparative clinical studies of Viscum album with other standard pharmacotherapeutic agents.
The increased serum creatine phosphokinase myocardial band level is the only detriment to Viscum album therapy from our study, which has to be validated by toxicology studies on cell lines of cardiac muscles.
We can look forward to promising use of Viscum album therapy per se and in conjunction with drugs of modern system of medicines.
