Herbal Remedies for High Blood Pressure

Why Choose Herbal Remedies Over Doctor Prescribed Drugs?

Well, why give money to the drug companies if you don't have to. Remember, drug companies are in it for themselves to make profit. They typically even sponsor their own clinical trials which give them the upper hand in approving drugs that should require more studies. Doctors are only given a morsel of information on each new drug. Is it REALLY safe? Well, if there are no long-term side effects from taking blood pressure medication, there could be effects while under the influence. Such side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, vomiting, headache, weight gain (or loss), chest pain, arrhythmia, congestion, and even flu-like symptoms. High blood pressure (also know as hypertension) can be treated successfully through herbal remedies. Why not at least try! Right?

What Herbal Remedies May Be Effective In Treating Hypertension?

In order to lower blood pressure and stay off medication, we will explore our herbal options. First, Garlic is a good start if your blood pressure is not too high. If your blood pressure is mild high blood pressure then it may be treatable with garlic. If you do not know which type of garlic to purchase, I would recommend Kyolic Garlic that can be found at most vitamin and nutrition stores. Importantly, garlic will aid in blood-thinning to lower blood pressure. Another good herbal remedy includes Fish oil. The beneficial acids contained in fish oil are EPA and DHA. However, DHA has been shown to reduce blood pressure and improve brain function. It is important to even try it with a combination with magnesium for optimal results. Here, I recommend looking into GNC’s brand of triple strength fish oil. Although observed as a vitamin, CoQ10 has been shown to lower high blood pressure when taking at least 60 mg per day. If your systolic blood pressure is elevated, Coenzyme Q10 is a good remedy in treating this specific case. Keep in mind that you really do not need a high dose of CoQ10. An average healthy individual makes 300 mg per day, but more is needed if you have a disease or a deficiency. Try taking 60 mg per day at first since there is no evidence how too much CoQ10 may affect your body on a long-term level. It would be best practice if you would try taking one of the herbal remedies mentioned at a time in order to isolate which one is actually working effectively. If needed, you can take a combination on an eventual level. In the end, what herbs work for some individuals may not work for others. If you have severe hypertension, then you may need to consult your doctor to assure proper treatment since high blood pressure may be dangerous. Cheers to good health and prosperity!
