What is hypertension?
Hypertension, or High
Blood Pressure, can be defined as the force that the
blood exerts on the veins and arteries while it circulates
around the body.
Blood pressure is controlled by
a variety of organs and body systems, including the heart, the
blood vessels, the kidneys, the brain and the adrenal glands,
as well as the complex interaction between the body systems.
We measure blood pressure by
using two different numbers - systolic pressure (the top
number) over diastolic pressure (the bottom number).
Systolic pressure measures blood pressure as the
heart contracts and pushes blood through the arteries.
Diastolic pressure is taken when the heart relaxes.
Normal blood pressure is around
120/80 or lower. It is important to note that blood pressure
varies from person to person and can
fluctuate from moment to moment. One or two high readings does
not necessarily mean that you have hypertension or high blood
pressure.
If your blood pressure has
measured 140/90 or higher on at least two separate occasions,
your doctor should recommend a 24 hour BP (blood
pressure) monitor, which will show
whether your BP remains chronically high. This will help to
measure whether you have hypertension or high blood pressure.
How
do I know whether I have hypertension
or high blood pressure?
Hypertension is sometimes known
as the Silent Killer, because it often has no
symptoms at all.
Sometimes people with high
blood pressure experience headaches, dizziness
or a ringing sound in their ears, but these symptoms may also
be due to other causes.
The best way
to find out whether you have high blood pressure is to visit
your doctor, homeopath, naturopath or other health care
provider.
What causes hypertension or high blood pressure?
Although the causes are not
always known, high blood pressure often runs in families which
indicates a strong genetic component.
Risk factors
for high blood pressure include smoking, alcohol abuse,
obesity, a high salt intake, lack of exercise and stress - and
a family history of hypertension and stroke.
Arteriosclerosis,
or a thickening, hardening and narrowing of the walls of the
arteries is also often associated with high blood pressure.
How
is hypertension or high blood pressure usually treated?
It is very important to take
steps to control high blood pressure. If it is left
untreated, it can result in heart disease or even
stroke.
The good news is that high
blood pressure can be well controlled by combining a healthy
lifestyle with the correct medical treatment.
This can include
synthetic prescription medication, natural
remedies or a combination of both. If you are already
taking prescription blood pressure medication, it is important
to consult your doctor before making any changes.
There are a variety of
prescription drugs available for high blood pressure
including vasodilators, alpha-blockers, beta-blockers,
diuretics, etc. Each has a unique way of working and different
drugs may work for better different people.
You may need to try a variety
before you find the right drug or combination of drugs
suitable for you.
Like many synthetic drugs,
anti-hypertensive medication has a risk of causing
side effects depending on the person as well as the
type of drug being taken.
These can include,
dizziness, nausea, stomach
problems, fatigue, impotence,
insomnia, loss of appetite
and others. Always speak to your doctor if you are
experiencing any of these symptoms.
What
about natural remedies?
There are many well known
natural remedies for high blood pressure or
hypertension.
Conventional medicines usually
treat the symptoms of high blood pressure, but seldom address
the underlying causes.
Naturopaths recognize that high
blood pressure may be a sign or symptom of imbalance in the
body. They believe in removing the causes of high
blood pressure with a combination of lifestyle
changes and natural remedies, rather than simply treating the
symptoms.
Can
herbal remedies and dietary supplements
really help?
There is a great deal of
scientific evidence to suggest that the use of carefully
chosen herbal remedies and dietary supplements can help to
lower blood pressure, as well as to improve the
overall functioning of the heart, arteries and the
entire cardiovascular system.
What herbalists have known for
centuries has now been clinically proven to be a potentially
effective alternative to synthetic blood pressure
medication, especially if combined with a healthy diet and
regular exercise.

What is
High-Rite?
High-Rite comes in capsule
form and contains herbs which have been carefully selected
to balance and regulate
blood pressure and also to address some of the
contributory factors which may be causing it.
While some of the
ingredients in High-Rite specifically target blood vessels
which have become constricted, others improve the heart's
ability to pump blood effectively, while
also treating and preventing plaque build up in the
arteries.
In addition to these
properties, High-Rite also helps to reduce stress
and boost the body's ability to fight illness. Each herb
is in therapeutic dosage for maximum effect. |
60 Caps |
High-Rite contains the following carefully
selected herbs:
Crataegus oxyacantha
(Hawthorn) is
one of the most highly respected natural remedies for high
blood pressure and has well-known cardio-protective
properties. Hawthorn dilates blood vessels by blocking the
action of a blood constricting enzyme called ACE (angiotensin-converting
enzyme). This increases the heart's energy supply and improves
its pumping ability. Hawthorn not only reduces blood pressure
in cases where there are chronically constricted arteries but
its anti-oxidant properties also help to protect against
damage caused by plaque build up in the coronary arteries.
Passiflora incarnata is a well
known calmative herb which also relaxes blood vessels and
reduces blood pressure.
Viburnum opulus
(Guelder Rose bark) is a very effective
cardiac tonic and muscle relaxant. It is known to relax the
cardiovascular system and also to relieve nervous tension,
often associated with high blood pressure.
Ginkgo biloba is one of the
oldest trees on the planet, dating back about 200 million
years. It has survived mainly in Oriental temple gardens,
where it is highly prized for its medicinal properties in
Chinese Traditional Medicine. Modern studies have demonstrated
the significant effect that Ginkgo biloba has on the
cardiovascular system, relaxing blood vessels, acting as a
circulatory stimulant and anti-inflammatory. One of the most
important active ingredients, ginkgolide, has been clinically
shown to be just as effective as standard pharmaceutical drugs
in treating irregular heart beats. Improving blood flow
throughout the body, Ginkgo biloba can also reduce blood
'stickiness', which lowers the risk of blood clots.

What is
Aqua-Rite?
Aqua-Rite comes in
concentrated tincture form and is specially formulated as
a companion remedy for High-Rite,
especially in cases where water retention is associated
with high blood pressure.
Acting as a natural
diuretic, Aqua-Rite also helps to balance blood
pressure, assist liver and gall bladder functioning and
improve circulation.
Diuretics cause the kidneys
to remove more sodium and water from the body, which helps
to relax the blood vessel walls, thereby
lowering blood pressure. |
50ml |
Aqua-Rite contains the
following carefully
selected herbs:
Agathosma betulina
(Buchu) is one
of South Africa's best known medicinal plants and has been
used by the indigenous peoples of the area for centuries to
treat a wide range of ailments. It is an effective diuretic
and anti-inflammatory. Early Dutch settlers used Buchu to make
a brandy tincture and Boegoebrandewyn (Buchu brandy) is still
used today to treat many disorders.
Taraxacum officinale
(Dandelion) is
a rich source of vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin A,
D, C, various B Vitamins, iron, lecithin, silicon, potassium,
magnesium, zinc and manganese. It enhances liver and gall
bladder functioning and may decrease high blood pressure due
to its diuretic properties.
Olea
europea is well known for its
ability to lower blood pressure, improve circulatory
functioning and balance blood sugar levels.
Caution:
Safety in
pregnancy has not yet been established. Use only under medical
supervision if you are also using prescription medication for
hypertension. Because these herbs are very effective in
controlling blood pressure levels, the dosage of your
prescription drugs may need to be reduced or even stopped
altogether.

"I have been
using your High Rite and Aqua Rite
products for almost weeks now. The results I have seen have

5.5 kg in the past three weeks. It's just been just
fantastic!!"- Krishnan

product that works! My blood pressure is completely under
control. Why don't the doctors prescribe these products?"-
Harold M.
"I developed
high blood pressure during my menopause. My doctor recommended
that I use prescription drugs but this has never been my
style. He wasn't very pleased when I said I was going to
research natural alternatives, but has had to eat his words
because all his dire predictions did not come true! After my
recent check up, he could not believe that my blood pressure
was normal again! I can recommend these products without
reservation. "- Hilary
"I don't
know what I would have done without High-Rite
to reduce my blood pressure, which runs in the family. I only
wish that I had known about it sooner because it really
works!"- Gillian

Rite herbal remedy has meant that my prescription medicine has
been cut in half - after only 10 weeks! My doctor is just as
pleased as I am, thank you so much"-

Can
I use High-Rite and Aqua-Rite together
with my prescription medication for high
blood pressure?
Yes, you can -
but NOT without first consulting your doctor. These remedies
are very effective in normalizing blood pressure and improving
heart functioning.
Your doctor should
monitor your blood pressure regularly while you are

consulting your doctor.

prescription drugs.

hypertension, these remedies can also prevent
problems in the future by acting as cardiac and circulatory
tonics.
