what natural herbs or supplements will help lower high blood pressure?


I have high blood pressure and need an alternative way to help lower it (I am excercising). I lost my job and medical insurance, so any suggestions are welcome.

  2. Marijuana.
    Not joking.

  3. lavender- as an essential oil and as a lavoring herb is reputed to lower blood pressure.
    Avoid foods containing rosemary as this herb is said to elevate blood pressure.

  4. calcium and magnesium in a combo of 500mg and 250mg respectively.
    also, aged garlic extract 600mg twice daily. fish oil 3000mg three times a day on a long term basis. Vitamin C when taken in high doses such as 1000 to 2000mg daily. All of these are separate items but I would recommend that you speak with a physician to ask what if these would affect any other medications you currently take.

  5. Herbs and supplements are just as costly as prescription meds and much less likely to work. Spend your money on a doctor’s visit and effective drugs, not supplements. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can kill you, economize somewhere else.

    Other ways to reduce high blood pressure include stop smoking, lose weight, exercise more, reduce salt, fat, alcohol and red meat consumption, increase fruit, veggie, whole grain and fish consumption.

  6. The following are good alternatives to try and see if they might help you.

    Magnesium
    Vitamin C ( check out http://www.vitamincfoundation.org/expert.htm#PAULING)
    Vitamin D (check http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/ for recommedations)
    Vitamin E (look for d-alpha-tocopherol)
    Magnesium (any kind is good except the oxide version)
    L-Lysine (an amino acid which are natural and safe)

    The key is the amount that you take of each supplement. Not taking enough will mean poor results so check out the sites and see what you think is a good for you.

  7. Magnesium seems to be a supplement that works well because it relaxes the blood vessels as they should be. There are other nutrients that help as well.

    The best one I’ve found which is a whole food magnesium supplement and it has other things good for high blood pressure is called the Blood Vessel Support Formula. You can find it at http://www.realfoodnutrients.com/bp/home.htm

  8. Learn to do meditation and breathing exercizes.
    Yoga breath work is best

  9. >Rauvolfia serpentina, or Indian Snakeroot or Sarpagandha, contains a number of bioactive chemicals, including ajmaline, deserpidine, rescinnamine, serpentinine, and yohimbine.(Wikipedia)

    >Reserpine is an alkaloid first isolated from R. serpentina which was widely used as an antihypertensive drug. It had drastic psychological side effects and has been now replaced by as a first-line antihypertensive drug by other compounds that lack such adverse effects, although combination drugs that include it are still available in some countries as second-line antihypertensive drugs.(Wikipedia)

    >In our Institute,purified Ajmaline was tried on cardiac arythemias.I think there was nothing wothwhile to report.

    >raw Sarpagandha is NOT safe to take.—Ayurvedic formulations(Ethical preparations) containg "treated" Sarpagandha to be taken only under Expert Medical advice and supervision–lest it may prove fatal.
