Natural Treatments for High Blood Pressure

In most cases of mildly elevated blood pressure, doctors will recommend dietary and lifestyle modification for a period of time to see if this normalizes blood pressure. It is important to work with your primary care provider. Untreated high blood pressure can damage many organs in the body and increases the risk of stroke, brain hemorrhage, heart attack, and kidney failure at an early age.
Diet
Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium – Adequate intake of calcium, potassium and magnesium is necessary for blood pressure control. When the diet lacks these minerals, supplementation may improve blood pressure control. Potassium-rich foods include avocados, bananas, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, grapefruit, nectarines, oranges, asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, green peas, potatoes and squash. Foods rich in magnesium include nuts, rice, bananas, potatoes, wheat germ, kidney and lima beans, soy and molasses.
Herbs and Nutritional Supplements
Garlic – There have been a number of studies examining the effects of garlic supplements on blood pressure. Garlic appears to lower blood pressure by 5 to 10%. It can also lower cholesterol, reduce triglyceride levels, discourage clot formation and promote blood circulation.
Hawthorne Berry – Hawthorne Berry helps to offset the increased demands made on the heart for those who are overweight. It also helps recondition and tone-up the heart muscle while reducing body weight.
Hibiscus Flower – The use of hibiscus for the treatment of hypertension has a long traditional history. In a clinical trial, those consuming hibiscus showed an 11.2% lowering of the systolic blood pressure and a 10.7% decrease in diastolic pressure 12 days after beginning the treatment.
Other Herbs – Other herbs known to be heart friendly and supportive of heart health include Buchu, Uva Ursi, Juniper Berry and Green Tea Extract. All are safe and don't present any interaction issues with prescription medications.
