What are natural ways to control (lower) Blood Pressure? I am not interested in taking any medication?

Answer 1

Go to a pharmacy and pick up a free leaflet.
Go to a library and get a book or two.

Meanwhile:
Aim for overall heart health and happiness. Think of preventing and / or reversing bad blood chemistry e.g. total cholesterol. Avoid white sugar in any form, because it forces the pancreas to produce insulin suddenly. Avoid saturated fat. Avoid trans fats. Go for Omega 3.
Vitamin E seems to be another useful blood thinner.
Sensible exercise.
Be active in body and mind.
Consider getting a pet.
Lose weight, if you are overweight.
Try to reduce any stress. (This is a huge topic.)
Avoid sodium e.g. in table salt. Many processed foods may have sodium added.
Magnesium is a muscle relaxant.
I suspect that 200 mg of vitamin C per day would help toi keep your arteries pliable.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

Here are some natural supplements that are very helpful.

GLA Complex: reduces work demand on heart; increase HDL; improves liver metabolism of fats; increase flow rate in small blood vessels

CoEnzymeQ10: regulates circulatory system

Garlic Complex: dilates small blood vessels; prevents clotting; dissolves fatty deposits

Alfalfa Complex: strengthens the kidneys which make a hormone that regulates blood pressure; natural diuretic

OsteoMatrix: A deficiency in calcium has been linked to high blood pressure.

Hope this is useful and feel free to contact me with questions.

Answer 5

Controlling hypertension is a 3-step approach. Step 1 is to change diet, lifestyle and control weight. Steps 2 (one antihypertension med) & 3 (two or more meds) involve medication as well as including step 1.

Modifying your diet to be low-trans/saturated fat, low-cholesterol and low sodium helps a lot. Changing your lifestyle so that it's healthier also helps. Regular exercise, no smoking, moderate alcohol, effectively managing stress and controlling diabetes are all ways to improve lifestyle. And losing those extra pounds helps, too. This can sometimes be made easier by a change in diet.

If you are unable to control your B/P with step1, your provider will most likely want to go to step 2.

Tips 3:

Crush 10-15 holy basil leaves (tulsi) and strain through a clean muslin cloth. Mix with 1 tsp honey. Have it the first thing in the morning.

Answer 7

Lose weight if you are overweight. Also add garlic to your food. You can eat it raw, cooked, or buy garlic supplements. Exercise such as walking each day is wonderful for lowering pressure. However if you have high blood pressure and need meds, take them.

Answer 8

Watch your salt intake- be careful of foods with hidden salt - chips, crackers, cold cut, canned goods - drink plenty of water - 64oz a day or more - walk a minimun of 30minutes a day - these are just a few basics for keeping your blood pressure in check - also avoid any unneccessary stressors!

Answer 9

Exercise, both cardio and weights at least 3 times a week. Even just walking is good. Lose a few pounds if you're overweight.

Answer 10

eat a banana a day and foods high in potassium. NO salt, or fried foods.
