Natural Remedies For High Blood Pressure

 

It is estimated that nearly one in three U.S. adults have high blood pressure, often with no symptoms.  If blood pressure is not brought back to the normal range it can lead to stroke, heart attack, heart failure or kidney failure.

The typical treatment for high blood pressure is drugs.  However, many have had success in lowering their blood pressure through diet and natural supplements and a holistic approach to blood pressure.  Below you will find some of the best dietary supplements to help normalize blood pressure.

Magnesium 

Magnesium has demostrated to be effective in bringing down high blood pressure. According the The American Heart Association, Japanese researchers say Magnesium may play a role in relaxing the blood vessels, an effect generally proven to help lower blood pressure. When blood vessels are constricted -- not relaxed -- the heart works harder to pump blood through the body, causing blood pressure to increase.

CoQ10 

It has been shown that a CoQ10 deficiency has been shown to be present in 39% of patients with hypertension. Several studies have shown that CoQ10 lowers blood pressure in patients with hypertension. Typically, there is a reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure by an average of 10%. These results usually take 4-12 weeks to be in effect.

Hawthorne Berries 

Hawthorn Berries has been shown to help both high and low blood pressure. It usually takes 4-8 weeks to begin seeing its effects. Studies also suggest that Hawthorn Berries can be taken safely by people with high blood pressure who are also taking blood pressure medications.

Cayenne Pepper 

Capsicum, also known as Cayenne, contains capsaicin - the compound that produces the "hot" in hot peppers. Cayenne peppers have been used for centuries as a folk medicine for stimulating circulation, aiding digestion and relieving pain (topically). Contemporary uses have placed Cayenne extracts as thermogenic aids to help increase metabolism. It also reduces the risk of atherosclerosis, which in turn can help to normalize high blood pressure.

Quality Fish Oils 

Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids

It has been proven that the Omega 3 essential fatty acids found in fish oil help to reduce the stickiness in blood and prevent hardening of the arteries. This makes omega 3 fish oils a great choice for reducing hypertension and helping with other cardiovascular conditions.

Excellent recommendations. I would emphasize though the importance of proper hydration. A technique I was taught about a year ago is to drink six glasses of water (it's difficult when you are starting!) first thing in the morning. Then wait about 45 minutes or an hour (while you are getting ready) to eat or drink anything else. Then continue drinking clean pure water the rest of the day as normal. This technique stimulates all the internal organs and brings them rapidly to prime condition. You will feel the difference in a few days. Also another tip is to take ice cold showers. It will feel you with super energy and also make you sleep better at night.
