Nov 27

Managing high blood pressure (or hypertension) in a natural way is possible with the right lifestyle choices and a few holistic remedies. My mom was diagnosed with high blood pressure and was told that she needed to take the pill for life. I helped her changed her diet and lifestyle, and went through a process where she was reducing the dose every week until she was out of it. She is now living a healthy life without medication, which could have caused long term damage to her kidneys or other organs. In this blog post, I want to cover four proven natural remedies that can help you maintain healthier blood pressure levels. Remember, these remedies are not substitutes for medical advice or treatment. Consult your healthcare provider before making any changes to your routine.

1. Hibiscus Tea

Hibiscus tea has gained popularity for its potential to lower blood pressure due to its natural compounds that may relax blood vessels. Studies suggest drinking two to three cups daily can contribute to healthier readings.
How to Use: Steep dried hibiscus petals in hot water for 5-10 minutes. Enjoy warm or cold with a squeeze of lemon for added benefits.
Contraindications: Hibiscus tea can interact with certain medications, especially diuretics and ACE inhibitors. Avoid if you’re pregnant or have low blood pressure.

2. Garlic Supplements

Garlic is a natural vasodilator, which means it helps relax and widen blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure.
How to Use: Add fresh garlic to meals, or consider odorless garlic supplements if fresh garlic is too strong for your taste.
Contraindications: Garlic supplements may interact with blood-thinning medications or cause stomach upset in sensitive individuals.

3. Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Found in fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines, omega-3 fatty acids can reduce inflammation and lower blood pressure.
How to Use: Aim for at least two servings of fatty fish per week or consider a high-quality fish oil supplement.
Contraindications: Avoid fish oil supplements if you have a fish allergy or are on blood-thinning medications.

Chronic stress can contribute to high blood pressure, but yoga and meditation can significantly lower it by promoting relaxation and mindfulness. You could give it a try and Join my classes from the comfort of your home!
