A Homoeopathic Case Series in the treatment of essential hypertension

Abstract

Hypertension is a major risk factor of cardiovascular disease. It increases the risk of congestive heart failure and coronary artery disease. About 95% of cases are classified as essential hypertension. Homeopathic medicines are used as a complementary approach to the management of hypertension. In this case series, the hypertension patients were treated with individual homoeopathic medicines following homoeopathic principle. Case taking and repertorisation was taken of all patients. The prescribed homoeopathic medicines were Lachesis Mutus, Glonoine, Ignatia Amara, Calcarea Carbonium. The results outcome was measured based on systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure at baseline and after three months of treatment. At the end of interventions, we observed that the individual homoeopathic medicines were reduced blood pressure levels in both systolic and diastolic. There was an improvement of physical symptoms. During the treatment no adverse events was reported. Homoeopathic individual medicine can be useful to manage the blood pressure levels in essential hypertension patient.
