prehypertension

I went to the densist last week and they check BP. She told me it was on the high side. Well I have a BP monitor and I checked it this weekend. I don't have what is considered high BP but I have it on the high side of normal. It ranges from 131/88 to about 139/98
What is best. I read about arnica and was thinking of taking arnica 30c. Im a computer programmer and I go to school. I think what is cause this problem is that in the fall Im going to go to school ft and I have never been in this situation. Where I worked pt and go to school ft! Please advise. Thanks!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I am glad that you have decided to take Arnica as I have done for the last 9 years. My BP at age 76 is 120/80 and I have proved that if I stop it for 3 weeks it rises by 10mm on both the Systolic and Diastolic readings.

I take Arnica 6c every night and the method I use is as follows:


Get a 500ml bottle of spring water
Pour out 100ml from the bottle.
Put in 3 pellets or 1 drop of the remedy into the bottle.
Bang the bottle hard on a cushion and watch for the water to fizzle like it does when you open a bottle of soda. This is called succussing and it must be done 4 times before every dose. This raises the potency of the remedy slightly.
Sip 1 teaspoonful of the potentized water from the bottle just before
sleep.
Store the bottle in the fridge and ensure that it is succussed before every dose.

You may start the therapy by taking the remedy twice daily for about a month, morning and evening and report progress after this period.

Thanks for your reply. I have started on Arnica 30c. I started today. Should I change over to do what you mentioned with Arnica at 6c in water?

If you already have Arnica 30c you may continue to use it but it is best to be used succussed in water as I instructed above.

Please record your BP today and check and record it every week. I would expect your BP to drop in about a month and this should continue slowly till you reach your normal BP as near mine as possible.

I presume that you also exercise daily for at least half hour.

You can also reduce your weight by taking Nat Phos 6x dose 2 tablets after lunch and dinner as this too helps in the BP reduction process with the Arnica.

I have taken arnica 30c. I slept and woke up "refreshed" ! I checked my bp this morning and it was 132/89 (Im checking it several times a day) I will cont. to take this and once I finish the vial I will change over to the water succussed you mentioned. I do walk/jog every other day for 1 mile each time. I would say I have extra pounds but not obese. I will start taking Nat Phos. I noticed you mainly use the 6x/c potencies? Can I ask why?

Glad you are having some positive results with the Arnica. As I have often stated before, I take the 6c nightly as I have done since 1996 and I believe that I owe it my present state of wellness.

Each remedy has its own potency when used for any ailment and in the case of weight reduction it is Nat Phos 6x and for wellness Arnica 6c. The 30c is also OK.

Take the Nat Phos for your weight and record the loss if any on this forum in a week. You should normally lose 2 pounds in a week.

I have been taking Arnica 30c everyday once in the morning and once before sleeping. So far I have been on it for 1 1/2 weeks. I haven't noticed anything with my BP but I think it will work overtime. I have noticed that I do sleep more. Before I would wake about 3-4x a night now its maybe once! The only thing I have noticed since I started I started to get constipated? I have never suffered from this before. Should I keep on taking it or suspend the use of it?
thanks!

I doubt that Arnica can be the cause of your constipation. Suggest you eat more fruits especially bananas and drink plenty of water (not canned drinks) up to 5 ltrs daily.

Since you have noticed some improvement of your sleep pattern and you feel better, I believe that you should follow my example and take it daily for as long as you feel that it is doing you some good.

Your BP will not react immediately as this will take some weeks or months but the general response is positive to taking it daily as I have done now for over 9 years.

Are you taking it in the water dose or dry ?

I do drink a lot of water. I try to stay away from sweetend drinks. I try to eat as much fiber as I can. Bread is usually wheat bread I eat. Cereal is granolas or miniwheats. I don't eat much fruits though. I will continue with it and check my progress. I knew my BP will not react immediately thats why Im not to "worried" that my BP has not gone down. I am taking it in the dry form since Im taking 30c Arnica. I though once this vial is finished I will buy 6x and do your method.
