“…7 Furthermore, there are many medicines enlisted in homoeopathic literature which are used in the management of hypertension, such as Viscum album, Rauwolfia serpentine, Veratrum album, Lycopodium clavatum, Sulphur, Crataegus oxyacantha, Calcarea carbonicum, Lachesis mutus, Glonoinum, Amyl nitrosum, Baryta muriaticum, Natrum muriaticum and Nux vomica. [12][13][14] Description on the effects of Sarothamnus scoparius (also known as Cytisus scoparius) in hypertension is also available in different homoeopathic literatures. 12,15,16 But, lack of scientific validation by clinical trials has made this drug the choice for this study.…”

Objectives The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of homoeopathic mother tincture Sarothamnus scoparius in the management of essential hypertension. Materials and Methods An open label, prospective, single arm, clinical trial was conducted on 35 participants recruited from outpatient department/inpatient department of a Govt. Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital. All participants received Sarothamnus scoparius mother tincture, suffering from essential hypertension. The primary outcome was to evaluate the change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) every month for 3 months and the secondary outcome was to assess the QOL of the patient by using WHOQOL-BREF at baseline and after 3 months. The primary outcome and secondary outcome measures were analysed by repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA) and ‘Paired t-test’ respectively. Result Twenty-nine participants completed the study and six participants dropped out. Intention-to-treat sample (n = 35) was analysed. There was statistically significant reduction in SBP (146.40 ± 7.65 to 128.00 ± 12.34) as well as DBP (88.80 ± 3.26 to 86.07 ± 3.307). Repeated measure ANOVA was performed to compare the changes in SBP as well as DBP at different time interval. In SBP, the result was statistically significant on all occasions (p = 0.000, at 95% confidence interval [CI]). In DBP, the result was also found statistically significant (p = 0.000, at 95% CI). However, the result was not statistically significant when DBP was compared at 1 month with 2nd and 3rd months (p = 1.000, at 95% CI); 2 months with 1 and 3 months (p = 1.000, 0.863 at 95% CI respectively); 2 months with 3 months (p = 0.518, at 95% CI); and 3 months with 1 and 2 months (p = 1.000, 0.863 at 95% CI respectively).Paired t-test performed to measure the changes in WHOQOL-BREF score showed statistically significant (62.57 ± 10.81 to 96.07 ± 17.47; p = 0.000, at 95% CI). Conclusion The study findings suggest that Sarothamnus scoparius mother tincture is beneficial in the management of essential hypertension as well as improving QOL. Randomised controlled trials are further warranted. Trial Registration CTRI/2021/09/036584.

Objectives: Hypertension (HTN) or elevated blood pressure is a serious medical condition that significantly increases the risk of heart, brain, kidney, and other diseases. HTN in an adult is said to be present when clinical systolic and diastolic blood pressure exceed 140 mm and 90 mm of hg, respectively. An estimated 1.28 billion people aged 30–79 years have HTN worldwide, most (two-thirds) living in low- and middle-income countries (World Health Organization). Homoeopathy can be useful in managing HTN and its complications, for which a proper knowledge of treatment modalities available in homoeopathy is essential. Materials and Methods: An intensive search of articles, publications, and writings, both online and offline, dealing with the management of essential HTN through homoeopathy was conducted between November 2021 to January 2022. Databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and various other published books, literature, and anecdotes in homoeopathy were explored, collecting data on the role of homoeopathy in essential HTN. Emphasis was on words such as homoeopathy, HTN, and blood pressure. Results: Management of essential HTN through homoeopathy can be broadly divided into two categories. First, drugs or medicines given in homoeopathic literature, such as Materia Medicas and Repertories, whose choice of administration in HTN depends on the classical methods of prescription, and secondly, drugs or medicines obtained from research outcomes on HTN. Conclusion: In homoeopathic therapeutics, many medicines are available and used in cases of essential HTN. Recently, research activities targeted toward managing HTN through homoeopathy have increased, and data have been generated. Even then, the available data till now are not sufficient in bringing homoeopathy equivalent or near to the conventional system of medicine in managing HTN demands; in turn, more research works in homoeopathy with statistical rigour.
