High blood pressure and Ozone Therapy

High blood pressure and Ozone Therapy

Hypertension, commonly referred to as “high blood pressure” or HTN, is a medical condition in which the blood pressure is chronically elevated. While it is formally called arterial hypertension, the word “hypertension” without a qualifier usually refers to arterial hypertension. Hypertension can be classified as either primary or secondary. Primary hyper-tension indicates that no specific medical cause can be found to explain a patient’s condition.

Secondary hypertension indicates that the high blood pressure is a result of another condition, such as kidney disease or certain tumors (especially of the adrenal gland). Persistent hypertension is one of the risk factors for strokes, heart attacks, heart failure and arterial aneurysm, and is a leading cause of chronic renal failure. Even moderate elevation of arterial blood pressure leads to shortened life expectancy. At severely high pressures, mean arterial pressures 50% or more above average, a person can expect to live no more than a few years unless appropriately treated.

Hypertension is considered to be present when a person’s systolic blood pressure is consistently 140 mmHg or greater, and/or their diastolic blood pressure is consistently 90 mmHg or greater. New studies show that blood pressure that is between 120/80 mmHg and 139/89 mmHg indicates “prehypertension.“. Pre-hypertension is not a disease category; rather, it is a designation chosen to identify individuals at high risk of developing hypertension.

The Mayo Clinic website specifies blood pressure is “normal if it’s below 120/80” but that “some data indicate that 115/75 mmHg should be the gold standard.” In patients with diabetes mellitus or kidney disease studies have shown that blood pressure over 130/80 mmHg should be considered high and warrants further treatment. Even lower numbers are considered diagnostic using home blood pressure monitoring devices.

Hypertension is usually found incidentally by healthcare professionals during a routine checkup. The only test for hypertension is a blood pressure measurement. Hypertension in isolation usually produces no symptoms although some people report headaches, fatigue, dizziness, blurred vision, facial flushing or tinnitus. Malignant hypertension (or accelerated hyper-tension) is distinct as a late phase in the condition, and may present with headaches, blurred vision and end-organ damage.

Hypertension is often confused with mental tension, stress and anxiety. While chronic anxiety and/or irritability is associated with poor outcomes in people with hypertension, it alone does not cause it. Accelerated hypertension is associated with drowsiness, confusion, visual disturbances, nausea and vomiting (hypertensive encephalopathy).

Ozone Therapy can help fight hypertension, high blood pressure and low blood pressure. Ozone increases the red blood cells capability to carry oxygen, it breaks down cholesterol, it improves blood circulation, it helps strengthen arterial walls and fights fatigue, stress, anxiety and depression. The Ozone Saunas are still the most comfortable and non-invasive method to receive ozone therapy.

It you think you are suffering from hypertension, consult your GP as soon as possible. Feel free to contact us should you have any further questions regarding Ozone Therapy and Hypertension.

    How long does it take before one can see a drop in no after starting to drink ozone water [ 1/2 gallon a day?
    Thanks

    Dear Bob,

    Thank you for your question.

    Please note that ozonated water is a lot less effective than the ozone steam saunas, so although you will get a ton of benefits, it will still take longer for it to become apparent.

    It’s extremely difficult to give any advice with the limited knowledge we have regarding your specific condition as age, diet, weight etc all play a factor in your progress to a higher quality of life.

    My suggestion is to reach out to us at [email protected] for more in depth discussions.

    Regards,

    There has been many cases where ozone therapy normalises blood pressure, whether one is struggling with low or high blood pressure.
