Joe Barton asked:


The best advice I can give for high blood pressure help is you should throw away your hypertension medication! But let me first explain myself before you throw away your expensive high blood pressure pills. As a natural health expert, I tell my customers these three things about hypertension medication.

First off, since your taking medication to lower your high blood pressure, you probably know that they are expensive. Especially, since everything else is on the rise with the current fuel prices. It is in fact, cheaper to naturally treat this disease than to buy medication. Secondly, high blood pressure is one of the simplest, yet deadliest, diseases to cure naturally! And thirdly, if you have been taking the medication for more than 6 months, it might be a wise idea to wean yourself off the medication before you toss them.

The Truth about High Blood Pressure Medication

This year alone, over 60 million people in the United States were diagnosed with high blood pressure. Unfortunately, and sometimes fatally, most of these hypertension sufferers were recommended harmful drugs to treat the ’silent killer’. And even more unfortunately, these patients will be taking meds the rest of their life.

However, currently a committee of government officials decided to lower the measuring standards for “normal” blood pressure. What does this mean for us? The consequence of this will be that millions of sufferers who had “normal” pressure will now fall into “pre-hypertension” stage.

And they can do this because high blood pressure is the ’silent killer’ meaning that it simply has NO side-effects. The first sign of hypertension is a heart attack. Therefore, many people who are taking medication and are content with “normal” blood pressure. They are still at risk of hypertension and possibly a heart attack.

Secondly, hypertension medication is addictive. The body becomes severely dependent upon it over an extended period of time. With that said, you can wean yourself off the medication in a few months and naturally treat high blood pressure.

Thirdly, hypertension medication is also ladened with side-effects. Whatever medication you are taking (whether your body has adjusted to the side effects or not), you might want to think back and consider the small side effects that plague your body. And unfortunately, we have come to accept the side effects because we ‘think’ we NEED the medication to live!

We don’t because of 3 reasons!

Harvard Research Reveals Truth about High Blood Pressure Cure

A recent Harvard research project revealed that it is completely possible to cure hypertension naturally with 3 high blood pressure tips. You can have high blood pressure help by making changes such as losing weight, increasing your activity level and eating the correct nutrition plan (an addition to vitamins and supplements).

With the current research, scientists have found that our bodies are equipped with an internal intelligence which allows the body to heal itself naturally (if given the right tools).

For instance, according to research published in 1995 in the Archives of Internal Medicine, reducing diastolic blood pressure by just 2 mm Hg would result in a 6% reduction in the risk of coronary artery disease and a 15% reduction in risk of stroke and transient ischemic attacks.

And you can do this single handedly with your diet! Imagine what you can do if you add some breathing exercises and the correct vitamins.

Blood pressure is the force in the arteries when the heart beats (systolic pressure) and when the heart is at rest (diastolic pressure). High blood pressure is a blood pressure reading of 140/90 mmHg or higher. High blood pressure can betide in children or adults, but it’s more common among people over age 35. It may run in families, but many people with a strong family history of high blood pressure never have it. People with diabetes mellitus, gout or kidney disease are more likely to have high blood pressure, too. High blood pressure typically develops without signs or symptoms. And it affects nearly everyone eventually. Affecting approximately one in four adults in the United States, high blood pressure is clearly a major public health problem. High blood pressure usually has no symptoms, but it can cause serious problems such as stroke, heart failure, heart attack and kidney failure.

In the UK, about half of people over 65, and about 1 in 4 middle aged adults, have high blood pressure. Certain medications — including birth control pills, cold remedies, capable of relieving congestion,over-the-counter pain relievers and some prescription drugs — also may cause secondary hypertension. High blood pressure is particularly common among blacks, often developing at an earlier age than it does in whites. Difficult situation, such as stroke and heart attack, also are more common in blacks. The cause may be cushing’s syndrome, kidney disease, taking certain medicines e.g. oral contraceptives or, rarely, a tumour of the adrenaline-producing cells in the adrenal gland. Although high blood pressure is most simple in adults, children may be at risk, too. For some children, high blood pressure is caused by problems with the kidneys or heart.

Sometimes blood pressure stays too high even when a person makes these kinds of healthy changes. Losing weight and doing regular physical activity can reduce the blood pressure further. Beta blockers medications reduce the workload on your heart, causing your heart to beat slower and with less force. Eat a healthy diet-not much fatty food such as fatty meats, cheeses, full-cream milk, fried food, butter, etc. Many home remedies help for relief blood pressure. Take four leaves of Tulsi (Holy Basil) and two leaves of Neem with 2-4 teaspoonfuls of water, empty stomach for 5-7 days. Baked potatoes are best for lowering the blood pressure. Take Spiegel seeds in 1-2 teaspoons of curd. Drink a glass of raw beetroot juice 2 times a day, for at least a week.

Tom alter asked:


High blood pressure or hypertension is the condition when the blood flow in the arteries and veins is forced under a higher pressure than normal. This can happen due to the weakness of the heart or due to the buildup of cholesterol in the coronary arteries, which can reduce their lumen. Today, most people in the world are suffering from hypertension, though it is not always fatal. Proper medication and a positive lifestyle can make people with higher blood pressures lead a long and happy life. However, neglect can cause severe fatal problems like myocardial infarctions (heart attacks).

High blood pressure is known as Rakta Gata vata in Ayurveda. It can be caused due to vitiation of any of the three doshas, though the contribution of the vata dosha may be more, as it is responsible for the circulation of blood. The following are the main precipitating factors for people with different doshas:-

1. Vata type of Hypertension – This is caused by extreme emotions such as worry, anxiety and stress.

2. Pitta type of Hypertension – This is caused by negative emotions such as hatred, jealousy and feeling for revenge.

3. Kapha type of Hypertension – This is caused by problems with the digestive system.

(1) Useful Herbs in the Treatment of High Blood Pressure

1. Alfalfa (Medicago satina)

Alfalfa contains several elements which are needed in the softening of the hard arteries. This reduces the tension in the arteries and hence helps to treat hypertension.

2. Bloodwort (Achillea millefolium)

Bloodwort is a sweat-inducing herb. It makes the blood flow towards the skin for expelling the sweat. Due to this free movement of the blood, the high blood pressure is reduced. Bloodword contains an alkaloid which is effective in reducing high blood pressure.

3. Garlic (Allium sativum)

Garlic is an antispasmodic agent. Hence it reduces the pressure in the arteries caused due to the pumping action of the heart during blood circulation. Garlic creates a rhythm in the pumping of the heart, which eases the pulse. Other high blood pressure problems such as dizziness, shortness of breath and indigestion are also taken care of by garlic. Garlic is widely considered to be the best remedy for high blood pressure.

4. Jaundice Berry (Berberis vulgaris)

Jaundice berry is another very effective remedy in the treatment of high blood pressure. It eases the tension in the arteries by making them dilate. Thus the blood flow in them is facilitated.

5. Parsley (Petroselinum crispum)

Parsley is like a monitor of the blood vessels. It regulates the flow of blood in them and maintains easy circulation. It looks after the entire arterial system. Hence it is a very beneficial herb for people with high blood pressure.

6. Rauwolfia (Rauwolfia serpentina)

The effects of rauwolfia on the arteries and veins of the human system have been investigated in detail, and immensely positive results have been obtained. Rauwolfia has a treasure-trove of alkaloids for easing the arteries, synchronizing the blood flow in them, reducing palpitation and even removing the cholesterol buildup in the arteries. Hence, practitioners of all forms of medicine acknowledge the effects of rauwolfia. In Ayurveda especially, the root of the rauwolfia is prescribed for hypertension patients. The Ayurvedic name for rauwolfia is sarpagandha.

(2) Dietary Treatments for High Blood Pressure

A strict dietary regimen is important to seek early treatment from high blood pressure. The following points must be obeyed:-

1. Salt should be reduced or totally eliminated from the diet. Hot and spicy foods should also be avoided.

2. Instead of hydrogenated fats, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats must be used. These include oils of sesame, olive, flaxseed, mustard and groundnut. Ghee and butter made from cow’s milk are beneficial. Buffalo milk should be avoided.

3. Indigestion should be taken care of by consuming a good amount of leafy vegetables containing fiber.

4. Bitter gourd and drumsticks are advantageous vegetables for people suffering from high blood pressure. Colocasia must be avoided, but yellow pumpkin helps in reducing blood pressure.

5. Among fruits, bananas, oranges, guavas and apples are good. All kinds of dry fruits and nuts are good.

6. Sweets and chocolates must be avoided.

7. Red meats must be avoided. But white meats, especially fish are beneficial in lowering blood pressure.

YCC asked:


My husband has high blood pressure and been prescribed Crestor & Micardis. But, due to high costs, we are unable to afford his medications. What are YOUR food suggestions? Everyone always say “diet and exercise” and we know that. My husband does not have a problem with his weight. He’s 38 years old, 165lbs., 5′7″ tall. He’s still muscular (somewhat) due to years of body building. His siblings (all under 45 years old) & parents are all under medication for high blood pressure & high cholesterol.

Mix juice of onion and pure honey in equal quantity. Taken two spoons of this mixture once a day is an effective remedy for high blood pressure. Take for about a week. Upon noticing improvement, take for few more days as needed.

Exercise is an essential weapon in the fight against high blood pressure. Even something as simple as a thirty-minute walk each day can make a huge difference in just a few months. Light exercise such as biking, walking and simple stretching exercises are all helpful with high blood pressure, especially when used in conjunction with a healthy diet.

Among the herbs, rauwolfia is the best remedy for high blood pressure. Alkaloids of this drug, which have a direct effect on hypertension, have been isolated and are being widely used by practitioners of modem medicine, but they have certain unpleasant side-effects which the drug, taken in raw form, does not have. Practitioners of the Indian system of medicine have, therefore, preferred to use the root of the drug in a powdered from. Half a teaspoon of this drug, taken thrice a day, is very effective in hypertension.

Persons suffering from hypertension must get at least eight hours of good sleep, because proper rest is a vital aspect of the treatment. Most important of all, the patient must avoid overstrain, worries, tension, anger, and haste. He or she must develop a calm and cheerful attitude and develop a contented frame of mind.

The key to controlling high blood pressure knows you have it. Under the guidance of a physician, you can battle hypertension through diet, exercise, lifestyle changes, and medication, if necessary.

Make a juice of 25-30 curry leaves with one cup of warm water. Strain and drink first thing in the morning.

Joe Barton asked:


“This will eventually kill you!” echoed in my head as the doctor continued his spiel on high blood pressure. As he continued on, I began to think of my family and what would happen to them if I died. And finally, I remembered thinking “Is my life in its final years?”

It is crazy the details we remember during the turning points in our life. The good news is my customer who wrote this to me is high blood pressure-free and as he puts it, “the healthiest he has ever felt”. But just how did he do it?

And why did he choose to a natural high blood pressure remedy instead of the popular traditional medication?

Natural or Synthetic?

The ’silent killer’! That is the nickname given to high blood pressure because it takes over 50,000 lives each year and that is a pretty generous figure. If you include cardiovascular related diseases you could probably double that figure. But, if you consider how many people suffer from high blood pressure; this figure is reasonably low.

According to the American Heart Association (AHA), about 65 million Americans over the age of 20 have high blood pressure. That’s about one in three adults in the United States. And only about 63 percent of those with high blood pressure are aware that they have it.

But if you are aware, should you choose a natural treatment or a synthetic treatment? Unfortunately, most people choose the synthetic treatment because this is suggested by your doctor. And even more unfortunately, some people pop a pill and completely forget to watch their diet, exercise and regularly watch their blood pressure. But do you have to choose the over-priced medication?

No! Almost 90% of high blood pressure sufferers could cure their high blood pressure naturally but are unaware of this. This is what physician and nutrition expert Dr. McDougal stated, “Today over prescribing and overuse of mind-altering drugs are doing far more harm than good in our society.” Many times, only a few simple lifestyle changes are needed and not an over-priced pill with dangerous side-effects.

Here is one of the numerous ways to lower your high blood pressure. BERRIES!

One High Blood Pressure Remedy- Berries

Why are berries the newest natural health rave? Because they are everything a healthy body needs: low calories, high Vitamin C and high water-soluble fiber. Next time you are out in the town, notice how many juice shops are popping up on almost every block. There is a reason behind this and it has to do with the miraculous power of berries.

Here are 5 high blood pressure remedy tips that will drop points in weeks.

1. Four cups of fruit. Nutrition experts recommend at least 4 cups of fruit each day. A better tip would be to take 2 cups of strawberries or blueberries each day and the rest is your choice.

2. Stock up. Stock up when berries are in season. Freezing fresh fruit is always going to save you lots of money in those long winter months. June and July are a good time to stock up.

3. Strawberries. A cup of strawberries contains only 53 calories. Strawberries are rich in calcium, magnesium, folic acid and potassium. Research has proven that magnesium and potassium are two essential minerals in lowering your pressure.

4. Blueberries. A cup of blueberries contains only 83 calories. Blueberries are rich in Vitamin C, minerals, lutein, phytochemicals and anthocyanosides (antioxidants). As you might have guessed, research has also concluded that these berries could also lower the risk of this disease.

5. Five Fiber. We recommend to our customers to get four to five servings of fruit a day. This will be difficult for most people, but if you work up to it gradually, you’ll find it’s not much of a problem. A glass of orange juice at breakfast, a banana (high in potassium) for a snack and about 16 grapes as an after-dinner treat gets three servings down.

If you get 5 servings of water-soluble fiber (fruit), you will notice a change in your health and you will see it when you test your high blood pressure.
