Hypertension is one of the most common diseases of the circulatory system, which manifests itself in increasing blood pressure. Usually, three stages of hypertension are distinguished.

When the pressure rises, headaches, noise in the ears, sleep disturbance, increased fatigue. Treatment of hypertension with folk remedies at this stage is most effective, and can prevent the further development of the disease.
Hypertension 2 degrees - the pressure is increased constantly and is within the limits of 160-180 / 100-110 mm of mercury. Perhaps the emergence of hypertensive crises. People's methods of treating high blood pressure are still useful, but when exacerbations are not able to replace medications.
Hypertension 3 degrees - the level of pressure from 180/115 and above. There are organic changes in blood vessels and other organs of the circulatory system. People's treatment of the disease at this stage is ineffective, and can serve only as maintenance therapy.
