Hypertension
Case Details:
This is a case of high blood pressure.
1) The patient had suffered from hypertension for 15 years, with readings around 170/100 despite taking 3 tablets of allopathic medicine daily.
2) She had not slept properly in 15 years and frequently used sleeping pills.
3) She also suffered frequently from knee pain and headaches.
Please note that we focused only on the mental symptoms, not the disease symptoms directly.
The following symptoms were taken for the repertorization of this case.
| Remedy | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Freq/Grad |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NUX | 2 | 1 | 1 | - | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 12/8 |
| AUR | 1 | 1 | - | 3 | 3 | 1 | 2 | 2 | - | 13/7 |
| LACH | 2 | 1 | - | 2 | - | 3 | 3 | - | - | 13/6 |
The remedy selected was Nux Vomica 1M.
A single dose was given on 14th February 2002, followed by a 50% taper of the allopathic medication.
Her blood pressure was checked on 28th February 2002 and found to be 146/93 — a reading she had never seen in her life, much to her surprise. She also reported sleeping wonderfully well, something even the sleeping pills had never achieved.
The allopathic medicine was stopped entirely. Ten days later (10th March 2002), her blood pressure was 140/89.
On 30th March 2002, it was 135/85.
On 14th April 2002, it was 125/70.
The allopathic doctor who had treated her for the previous 6 years was genuinely surprised by the result.
