What is the BEST non-prescription blood pressure supplement?
Ginko-Biloba. Hawthorne Berry. Co-Q-10. Garlic. Each claims to lower blood pressure but which is either the 'best' for reducing blood pressure or the best 'combination' for reducing blood pressure? Each of the prescription BP meds I've been prescribed caused complications: bruising, labored breathing (I'm asthmatic), hives, etc and I am desperate to get my BP down.

Those supplements are an excellent start, in any combination. Use good brands and you can’t go wrong. The most expensive does not necessarily mean the best.
—————-
Ginkgo Biloba highly popular worldwide for its antioxidant, *circulation-promoting, and memory-enhancing properties. Researchers are excited about the positive effects Ginkgo Biloba has shown in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, peripheral vascular insufficiency affecting vision, *hypertension, angina, and impaired cerebral blood flow.

Hawthorn Berry is a natural drug for organic and functional heart disorders such as dyspnea, rapid and feeble heart action, hypertrophy, valvular insufficiency sufficiency, and heart oppression.
If the heart, its valves, and other working parts are in a weakened condition and need quick help, use this great heart food or tonic to assist it back to health.
————-
Coenzyme Q10 is essential to human life. It plays a role in the electron transport chain, one of the body’s energy-producing cycles that converts food into energy. Research indicates that supplementation with this nutrient will support normal *heart function and provide antioxidant protection.

Garlic intake has been linked with lowering blood pressures. Take either enteric coated capsules or fresh garlic cloves. Allicin is thought to be the ingredient that brings down the blood pressure.

Hypertension is the medical term for high blood pressure. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of arteries as it flows through them. Arteries are the blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the body’s tissues.
Hypertension is an abnormal increase of blood pressure in the arteries continuing over a period of time. It occurs when the arterioles, the small blood vessels that branch off from the arteries, become constricted.
—————–
Lifestyle changes that will reduce blood pressure include:
*Reduce table salt intake, use Sea-Salt instead.
*Reduce bad-fat intake.
*Lose weight.
*Exercise regularly.
*Don’t smoke.
*Don’t use alcohol.
*Avoid stress.
—————-
Medicate Naturally
Natural remedies will lower and prevent hypertension. Aromatherapy as a treatment option uses essential oils either inhaled from a bottle in times of anxiety or massaged daily into the skin at bedtime in the area beneath the collarbone. Blue chamomile and lavender are known for their stress relief and relaxation effects.

"Let Food Be Your Medicine….." – Hippocrates
Food therapy has been shown to affect blood pressure. Muscles that regulate blood pressure have been noted to dilate with the intake of celery; celery juice has also been found to have a mild diuretic effect. Eating fresh fruits and vegetables, which are high in potassium and magnesium, lowers systemic sodium and fluid levels in the circulatory system. A 2001 study showed that reducing intake of sodium decreases blood pressure in participants with or without hypertension.

Relax & Meditate
Relaxation and meditation can help lower blood pressure. Focusing on relaxing music can also slow the heart rate and lower blood pressure, as can imagery.

Switching to a good near vegetarian natural diet would be a good place to start, there is no downside to eating right. More fiber, less sugar and fat, and more fruits, vegetables and grains are all great for the heart.

ALSO:
*Lecithin
*Brewer’s Yeast
*Calcium & Magnesium: citrate, gluconate, or amino acid chelated form.
*Potassium
*Wheat germ
*Omega 3 Oils
*Vitamin C
*Vitamin E
*Vitamin B-complex

How may meds has the doc tried. There are tons of meds to lower BP so don’t let the doc stop with just one or two drug trials. Also help ease your asthma by getting rid of the toxic cleaning and laundry products in your home and switching to all natural cleaners and laundry products. All those toxic chemicals aggrivate your asthma. Garlic and Co-Q 10 would be my choice as a natural supplement to help lower your BP but be SURE to check with your doctor first.

Dont fall for these scams. They don’t work—recent studies by Univ. of Maryland confirmed that. Only suckers spend money on them and other diet supplements.
Eat plenty of greens and keep your anxiety to a minimum.

-Add a teaspoon of honey and 5-8 drops of apple cider vinegar to a cup of hot water, and drink it in the early morning. It helps to reduce cholesterol, maintains vasodilation, and helps to regulate blood pressure.
-Exercise regularly. Try 20-30 minutes of brisk walking.
