Rauwolfia (if you can find it) also called Indian Snakeweed. Yoga and biofeedback. Deep breathing.
Two answers that require some serious time. Here it is and it also multiplies in that area of age. Any age, any culture that is older. Oldest times 3 or 4, times two such as egypt. OK serious hypertense activities first are to be stopped. Any buying, shopping, art, party, or late hours, all heavy work, all stress work. Re focus is critical such as sewing, mapping, cooking, base activities and more of it. Sleep is critical maybe an extra hour per night is good, maybe not, watch this area for sleep can be the stress also, such as bad dreams, heats, or vitamin deficiency. Generally doses of high sugar clot food is good, a few examples, oil dressing, meat dressings, onions, pickles, and carrots. This substitue replaces liver, kidney, shortages and also poisons. Second food package is to shop with meals in plan, say low cholesterol, low sodium, low sugar, and be definite about the person s tastes are allowed. 4 meals a week is good, say no potatoe or soy, no squash or spinach. More bread, more salad. 2 hours of prayer, and in a language, if needed of poetic faith. Using a smaller guide is better. Not a full education, a comfortable candle burning type of quiet. This can be increased to slowly until everyday. Keep yourself somewhat updated on this faith of interactive actions. Fear is a subtle injurious problem in many persons without guidance. http://www.beliefnet.com
Of course, with any herb, read up more on it to make sure it is safe to use with any other perscription meds you are on, and to make sure it will not mess with other pre-existing health conditions you may have. Hawthorn, like the other user wrote is AMAZING! I LOVE IT. it also helps with arteriosclerosis (the hardening of the arteries) Buergers disease (heart), heart failure, and rapid pulse. In the book quot;quot;the complete guide to herbal neducinesquot; writeen by two pharmacist, Fetrow and Avila, the follwing herbs are listd for high blood pressure: aconite american hellebore bee pollen cinnamon coenzyme q-10 cucumber dandelion dong quai garlic--I LOVE this one too kelp mistletoe nettle parsley peach rauwolfia yerba mate I reccomend this book, it is only 8.oo brand new. It tells you what side effects to look for, what perscriptions not to take the herbs with, what herbs not to take with pre-existing health conditions, common dosages, etc... The book is well worth it, because you never know what you are reading on the internet. And even then, most just give a general overview of the herb, and then dont tell you quot;Hey, dont take this if you have diabetes/epilepsy, etc...quot;
I read somewhere once (think it was Prevention Magazine, but not sure) that if you eat lots of rice it will absorb sodium in the gut so that less of it is absorbed in the blood stream. I also read somewhere that calcium helps to moderate blood pressure. Not sure how. For some people high blood pressure may be genetic. In some cases meds may be a necessity to avoid strokes, etc. Thick blood may increase blood pressure (such as from dehydration or high cholesterol). Oatmeal has soluble fiber that is said to absorb cholesterol in the gut before it is absorbed into the blood stream. You want to drink enough water, but not overly so or underly so(think of your blood and arteries as a hose full of water....more water equals more pressure on the hose walls...) On the other hand not enough water in the arteries (dehydrated) thickens the blood components and makes it more like sludge which is harder to move than watery blood. I just saw something on TV today about a new diet book by Dr. Mehmet Oz. He says that your waist measurement should be 1/2 of your height in inches, and that your belly fat (omentum?) is important to your health, because among other things it can press on your kidneys, contributing to high blood pressure. Ask your doctor before making any changes to your diet or medication.
1.Weight reduction (adopting diet and exercise) 2. Reducing stress level (at home and work place) 3. Salt restriction 4. yoga (Praanaayaam) 5. Meditation Please consult your physician before following these steps. Do not stop anti hypertensive medications till your physician asks you to do so.
1. Meditate 2. Do some strenuous regular physical exercise 3. Take up yoga - only with an authentic teacher 4. Reduce or cut out high fat red meat - or become a vegetarian 1. Meditation is difficult. Do it everyday at least once per day. meditation is focussing on a virtuous object single pointedly. Gradually practise to bring your mind back to the object when it (and it always does) wander off. Don t be strict with yourself. Try to stop thinking of self and think instead of other things, people and believe you are becoming more gentle and caring for other things other than the things that get to you . 2. Run, jog, take up boxing, karate, judo etc - this improves the heart rate and helps focus and concentration.
There is a reason they call it hypertension. Your muscles aren t relaxed and make it hard for the heart to pump blood through or past them. The easiest way I know to relax is to meditate. It releases past causes of tension. When your brain works overtime so does your body. They are connected, literally at the neck. Find someone who can teach you mantra meditation.
I don t take any prescription medicines for my high blood pressure I take vitamin supplements 1. Stress Relief Complex 2. Garlic Complex

The DASH eating plan lowers cholesterol and makes it easy to lose weight. It is a healthy way of eating, designed to be flexible enough to meet the lifestyle and food preferences of most people. The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend the DASH eating plan as a model for healthy eating for everyone! The whole family can enjoy the DASH diet. New research shows that it is effective in lowering blood pressure in children as well as adults. How does the DASH diet plan work? The DASH diet helps to lower blood pressure by providing more key nutrients, such as potassium, calcium, and magnesium, all of which are associated with lower blood pressure. These key nutrients are boosted by including more fruits, vegetables, and low-fat or nonfat dairy in your daily diet. Some people see additional benefits by lowering sodium or salt in their diet. Our book includes additional lifestyle changes to lower blood pressure, such as weight loss, exercise, smoking cessation, and moderation of alcohol intake.

cut out salt, take magnesium tablets, lose some weight if this applies, i tried these measures but ended up on a tablet. mine never went down after having it in pregnancy. on enalapril and its ok no ill effects, i feel much better.
how old are you? if you are over a certain age there may not be much that you can do or you may have an underlying condition which means that no amount o lifestyle changes can do anything. You know the lifestyle changes eat better, eat less, reduce weight, drink alot of water, exercise regulary, less salf and fat in you diet, stop smoking, drink less alcohol, and reduce your stress. But all these things can only reduce your bp by about 10 to 12 mg and then after that only medication can help. see you gp if it remains high, they may be able to treat the underlying cause quickly. But as we get older our bp just rises naturally and it is safer to go on to medications. i hope that this helps, this is a good website http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/hbp/
