High blood pressure can be a confusing health problem for many. For more than 90% of those with it the cause is unknown. The condition is sometimes referred to as ‘essential hypertension’ which makes it sound like something you ‘must have’ when nothing could be further from the truth! Many sufferers are totally unaware they have it because they are symptom free. When most patients are presented with the diagnosis of hypertension they assume they will simply start taking pills, without first exploring their options to find out if there is a safer or better way.
Psoriasis is an unpleasant condition for which, at the present moment, there is no known cure. Many people see it as something they have to “live with” permanently and, as well as the physical discomfort, there is embarrassment in case others see the hard, scaly skin. The cause of the condition is unknown and, unfortunately it does appear to run in families. You may have already tried medicines which helped as long as you took them, but found the side effects unpleasant.
There are creams, oils or lotions available, which may soothe a little, but give no lasting improvement, as well as proving costly over time.
It’s often surprising how freely women can talk about their intimate health problems or emotional issues compared to men. It has often been said that women have a greater emotional vocabulary but there is, arguably, a cultural aspect with British men. Many men demonstrate a "stiff upper lip" when it comes to acknowledging a health problem rather than actually dealing with it. Perhaps this is, in part, due to misguided beliefs taught from a young age such as "big boys don't cry" when it comes to expressing emotions. Alarmingly over 70% of suicides in the UK are males, illustrating that men are not as good at coping as they would have you believe.
There are 38 remedies in the "Bach Flower"range with "Rescue Remedy" probably one of the better known self help options available over the counter from Health Food stores and pharmacies.
Rescue Remedy - so useful to carry when those unexpected stresses or shocks occur. Simply put 2 or 3 drops under the tongue for immediate relief. These are an ideal self help option until you are able to get advice from a professional. Advice about using Bach Flower Remedies is just one of the options offered by Dave Masters who practices Homeopathy here at the Hope Street Centre.
