Vegetables disease/disorder effects

It is becoming increasingly evident that arterial hypertension in man is usually a psychosomatic disease. Therefore, to understand pathogenesis one must examine the psyche and the effects of psychic disturbances upon the soma. It is not within the province of this discussion to consider at length such disorders and their relation to hypertension. For purposes of orientation toward a view of the whole picture, however, we must scrutinize briefly the influences which bear on this condition in order to direct our attention to salient features which deserve further investigation. Suffice it to say, therefore, that disorders or deficiencies of personality exist (30) that they antedate the occurrence of hypertension (8) and that the emotional tension arising from their presence profoundly affects vegetative functions, especially those concerned with blood flow and blood pressure (68).
