A quasi-experimental study of 60 patients with uncontrolled hypertension, assisted in the doctor's office 31, belonging to "30 de Noviembre" Teaching Polyclinic in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from April, 2012 to the same period of 2013, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of Bach's therapeutic flower system in the treatment of those affected. Two groups were made (experimental group and control group) of 30 members each. Both received their pharmacological habitual hypotensive treatment, but the flower therapy was added to the first one and captopril to the second. After four days of being treated the blood pressure was stabilized in most of the members of the series; however, this control was not achieved in a member of the first group (3,3 %) and in 3 of the second (10,0 %), demonstrating the effectiveness of the flower therapy in the treatment of the mentioned disorder
