I really don't like taking prescription medication, so along with diet and exercise, is there any type of natural herbs or supplements I can take to help lower my blood pressure? I believe in organic/holistic medicine...anything like certain herbs like garlic, cinnamon, or any kind of vitamin supplements or anything?

If you are interested in a 100% natural whole food approach, I highly recommend ViaViente. High blood pressure runs in my husband's family. He tried dietary changes, high-cardio workouts, but nothing seemed to work. He was getting prescribed medications but it didn't sit well with him that he is only 38 and would have to take hi BP meds. So, his personal trainer/nutritionist and wife (who is a doctor), turned him on to ViaViente (which they recommend to all their clients/patients who are interested in natural approaches to combat nearly any health ailment imaginable). After 3 weeks, his blood pressure went from 140+ to 117. It has been 3 months now and it is at a stable 110.
I know a network of trainers, nutritionists, doctors, physical therapists and herbalists who highly recommend this product. It has also helped me with my lifelong allergy problem (I no longer take any meds) and my kids have not had a drop of Motrin or Tylenol since they've been drinking this juice (I used to feel like I was drugging my kids because they used to get sick so often). My family loves it and we highly recommend it for preventative health, maintenance...your body just operates at an optimal level with ViaViente added to your diet. 4 ounces a day is equivalent to 20 servings of fruits and vegetables.
You are welcome to contact me directly and I can answer additional questions you may have. I did quite a bit of research on the product and it's nearest competitors.

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.

Its a matter of diet, mental serenity and exercise more than anything else. Vitamins and herbs can not do for you what you can do for yourself.
I am dealing with the same thing, as I just came back from the doctor about my blood pressure. My pressure may not be high by your standards (149/84), but I trend towards 110/70. I am dealing with headaches and swelling of the legs. After having spoken to my doctor he said a loss of 5-10 lbs would show dramatic difference. Also, I have been going through some stressful periods in my life, I realize I have got to learn to relax without the aid of supplements or medicines.
I am looking for a good yoga or tai chi class to help me learn to relax. I am cutting the salt and eating healthier. I invite you to join me in trying that first.

Yes there is. I used to take garlic for it in the non smelly pill form and it really lowers your blood pressure naturally. Garlic is a natural antibiotic also and works wonders on your whole system.

I would strongly recommend you to visit a nutritionist before you start taking food supplements, because it can get you in trouble. I am like you, against medication but it was until I saw a nutritionist and told me all the stuff I was eating wrong in the first place. It really helped me to change my diet.

i have been having the same problem. one thing to cut out is can goods, they have so much sodium in them. all the salt can retain water in your body and cause swelling. it can cause blood pressure to go up.try to eat more frozen foods and fresh food.cut out soda from your diet, try having bottled water with you at all times. these are just a few suggestions i have tried and seems to have helped.
