Even some of them are not well, proved. drugs. For this reason we have chosen some most important polychrest (most commonly used broad spectrum homeopathic remedies) as well as the medicines that have effective role in controlling Hypertension in daily practice. In this paper, we will develop a computational model that retrieve more important and less important symptoms to assess a Hypertension patient. We also rank the medicines, used for Essential Hypertension as per importance by using Principal Component Analysis.
