Int J High Dil Res, 2015, 14 (1), 16-19

The prevalence of hypertension has significantly increased not only among the urban, but also among the rural population of India.1 Out of all hypertensive cases, 85%- 95% correspond to essential hypertension, which is mostly attributed to genetic, psychological and environmental factors.2 As this condition is alarmingly rising, there is a need for approaches to check its progression and offer holistic treatment. Homeopathy and with lifestyle changes might represent a relevant alternative to conventional treatment. The present observational study was undertaken to investigate the usefulness of homeopathic medicines with lifestyle changes in management of essential hypertension.
