What is the best natural remedy for Hypertension? -

I am 40 and have Hypertension for no known reason. For medication, the doctor gave me Diovian, and Norvasec. These seem to work well. I do get light headed sometimes after taking the Diovian. Then he gave me the Toprol XL. I started suffering from heartburn; sensitivity to bright lights, and light headedness. I could not sleep (nightmares). I’d get random erections when I was just idling (while driving, or watching TV) He reduced the Toprol XL, and things got a little more normal. I still could not sleep. So I started taking Melatonin (one when I got home, and one shortly before bed). I discovered my blood pressure went way down. Is this because I am sleeping better, or does the stuff really help my blood pressure? Melatonin is really cheap. Today I just take Diovian, Norvasec, Melatonin, and B vitamins. I have pretty much normal blood pressure all the time. Once in a while it goes up What works for you?

Hypertensive people can remarkably reduce their blood pressure through nutritional changes. Increasing the amount of vegetables and fruit and reducing the amount of fat and cholesterol will not only reduce blood pressure but can help with weight loss, which also lowers blood pressure. Eat whole, fresh, unrefined, and unprocessed foods. Include fruits, vegetables, garlic, onion, whole grains, soy, beans, seeds, nuts, olive oil, and cold-water fish (salmon, tuna, sardines, halibut, and mackerel). Low sodium-high potassium diet. Most people are aware that reducing sodium (salt) intake can help reduce blood pressure. However, that may not be the whole picture. Restricting sodium intake to lower blood pressure appears to work better if accompanied by increasing potassium intake. Keep in mind that reducing sodium intake involves more than not using a salt shaker, but also reading processed and prepared food labels for the sodium content. Avoid salt, sugar, dairy products, refined foods, fried foods, junk foods, and caffeine. Eliminate food sensitivities. Use an elimination and challenge diet to determine food sensitivities. Drink 50% of your body weight in ounces of water daily (e.g., if you weigh 150 lbs, drink 75 oz of water daily).

One of the things that seemed to work best for me is garlic. You can leave a clove (is that what it is called in english?) in water for about 8 hours, and drink it, I usually did it at night just for the smell factor :-O But it really works, good luck!

There are several ways you can approach this. One would be with your diet, and your diet alone can improve your hypertension. There are also a few supplements that will speed things along and give you a quot;remedyquot;. For Hypertension, as an herbalist, I would recommend Supertonic, Ginkgo Plus (soon to be renamed A amp; V Blaster because of it s cleansing properties for the arteries and veins), H. T. combo, and to help these herbs do their job, I would recommend a Stress Pack. The Supertonic will improve your circulation as well as the function of the heart. The Ginkgo Plus (Please don t confuse it s name with Ginkgo Biloba wich is used for the brain) will clean out your veins and arteries. The H.T Combo will work on rebuilding and repairing the heart and the tissue of the heart. The stress pack just helps to keep the stress level down so that the herbs can do their job. I have posted links below for each of the products so that you can see each of their ingredients and a detailed list of their properties and uses. Hope this helps!

Reduced salt intake, a mineral supplement (calc/mag/phos), reduced fat intake, lots of water, lots of exercise, Omega 3 supplements, meditation, yoga.

There are many things that can be done to treat hypertension : - Olive leaf tea - is a natural anti hipertensive. - Magnesium - Reduce salt - Crataegus- one of the best for heart. - Vitamins C, E , Beta carotene and B vitamins - CoenzymeQ10 -L-Arginine - Exercise - Stress relief like meditation See there are many natural things to low pressure

Losing even a little weight can reduce your blood pressure. Cod liver oil will help very much too. I would stay away from BP medicine.
