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 can often run in families, indicating 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 many different prescription drugs for high blood pressure including vasodilators, alpha-blockers, beta-blockers, diuretics, etc. Each has a different way of working and different drugs may work for 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, which depend 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 having problems.

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 and know that the best way to treat it is by a combination of lifestyle changes and natural remedies to remove the causes of the high blood pressure, 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 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.

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.

Aquarite Customer Testimonials

"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 Hello Michele, Thank you for your work and research in the field of herbal products to improve health and general well being. I was diagnosed with mild hypertension last year and since that time I have been on many different medications with very bothering side effects. The last medication I was on was a diuretic, namely, triamterene/HCTZ. This medication resulted in giving me side effects such as more water retention especially if I do not take the next pill on time as well as digestive problems along with possible hair loss. I am a very active 42 year old who works out at a gym and stay very active with my career. I did not consider myself to have any significant health problems prior to mild hypertension 130/90 and a heart murmur. I started to develop significant bothering side effects after taking many synthetic medications. I got tired of getting sick when I was feeling healthy prior to these medications. I decided to do my own exploration as I often read on herbal products. I contacted your web-site and decided to give Aqua-Rite a try and I was pleasantly pleased. It has been almost two weeks since I have taken this herbal remedy. I have less water retention and have more normal urination. I am also taking some Hawthorne on my own at night. I took my blood pressure this morning and received a reading of 127/82. This is significant. I have also resumed to watch my diet again. I think I used to take good health for granted. I am sure that with your natural remedies, exercise and moderation with food I will be feeling like I used to feel. Thank you so much for your research. Thank you greatly and God bless you. - Veronica" I developed high blood pressure during my menopause. My doctor recommended that I use prescription drugs but this has never been my style.

" 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 "I am only taking half the dose of my normal medicine after using your products for just 12 weeks. I hope that this will continue until I can stop altogether. My doctor has been very encouraging" Gregory More Testimonials
