HYPERTENSION and homeopathy

HYPERTENSION :

Hypertension is high blood pressure. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of arteries as it flows through them. Arteries are the blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the body's tissues.
                                                 
If left untreated, hypertension can lead to the following medical conditions:

1) arteriosclerosis, also called atherosclerosis
2) heart attack
3) stroke
4) enlarged heart
5) kidney damage.
