There many causes of this disease, the main one is poor nutrition. A few others are over eating, age, sleep apnea, hormonal disorders, kidney disease, drugs, and lack of exercise. High blood pressure is a reaction to the waste that is inside of blood vessels. This excess sludge that is on the walls of blood vessels causes the heart to work harder. High cholesterol can clog the arteries. Excess cholesterol can also damage the heart and blood vessels. The blood pressure is a natural function that Allah Ta Ala has create which sustains life. So what is blood pressure actually? It is the amount of force exerted in the blood stream as it passes through the arteries. When the heart contracts or squeezes down it forces blood into the arteries. This is called systolic pressure (the top number on the diagnostic reading).
Diastolic pressure happens when the heart is at rest or relaxing in between beats. At this time the heart is filled with blood and pressure against the artery wall drops. This is the bottom figure in the diagnostic reading. If you have a reading of 120/80 this is considered normal.

The Blessings of Henna
أنَّ النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم كان إذا صُدِع، غَلَّفَ رأسَه بالحنَّاءِ، ويقول: “إنَّهُ نافعٌ بإذنِ الله من الصُّداعِ”. روى ابن ماجه فى “سننه” حديثاً فى صحته نظر:
Narrated by Ibn Majah that whenever Prophet Muhammad Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa sallim suffered from a headache, he used to cover his head with Henna (Khazaab) and said, “Henna helps to relieve headache by the permission of Allah”.
Headaches could be relieved by vomiting, eating, being calm and idle, using cold rags, cooling the body, elevating the temperature, avoiding noise, etc. Knowing these facts, we should mention that treating headaches with Henna is partial and that it treats some types of headache, if the headache is caused by high fever and not by a spoiled substance that requires extraction. Crushed Henna blended with vinegar and applied to the forehead will relieve the headache. Henna soothes the nerves when used as a bandage. Finally, Henna is not only favorable to relieve headaches, but in addition for the various organs of the body and for the hot tumors and inflammations when used as a bandage.
عليّ بن أبي رافع، عن جدته سلمى خادم رسول اللّه صلى اللّه عليه وسلم قالت (ما كان أحد يشتكي إلى رسول اللّه صلى اللّه عليه وسلم وَجعاً في رأسه إلا قال: “احتجم” ولا وجعاً في رجليه إلا قال: “اخضبهما”) رواه داود وعنها أيضاً قالت: (كان لا يصيب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قرحة ولا شوكة إلا وضع عليها الحناء) رواه الترمذي بإسناد حسن
Ali Bin Abi Rafe’e reported on behalf of his grandfather Salma Radhi Allahu ‘anhu(servant of Prophet Muhammad Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa sallim): “If someone complained to Prophet Muhammad Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa sallim for headache, our beloved Prophet asked him for Hijamah & if someone complained for pain in his legs, Prophet Muhammad Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa sallim asked him to anoint with HENNA“. (Abu Dawood) He also reports “Whenever Prophet Muhammad Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa sallim suffered with injury or thorn piercing, the wound was only treated with Henna”. (Tirmizi)
