to 3.4 mmHg in the case of SBP, from 0.5 to 2 mmHg in the case of DBP, and from 2.2 to 7.6 beats/min in the case of HR. The day vs. night difference, which was absent in April (P>0.10) reached statistical significance in June in the case of DBP (P=0.038) and HR (P=0.021). However, during recovery, SBP is significantly decreased overall (P<0.001). The decrease in SBP is statistically significant at all six sampling times: at 02:30 (P<0.001), 05:30 (P<0.001), 09:00 (P=0.007), 13:00 (P=0.012), 16:30 (P=0.036) and 20:00 (P=0.041). The somewhat larger decrease during nighttime as compared to daytime accounts for a 107% increase in the day night excursion in SBP. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that treatment with HRW may have been helpful in the decrease in nocturnal hypertension with improvement in dipping. KEYWORDS: Circadian variation, night dipping, nocturnal hypertension, homeopathic treatment.
