My brother has high blood pressure issues and he is taking doctor prescribed medication, however he has located a Astaxanthin and Cranberry seed product, called AstaCran that he states has lowered his blood pressure so he could reduce his prescribed medication.
Cranberry seed oil is highly stable and may be the richest known source of tocotrienols; up to six times higher than palm oil. Tocotrienols are part of the Vitamin E family however they have been shown to be far more effective than the tocopherols. Tocopherols are a less effective form of Vitamin E.
Astaxanthin is considered the one of the best antioxidant available. It is a more powerful than beta-carotene, lutein, lycopene and vitamin E and most other antioxidants. It freely crosses the blood-brain and blood-retina barriers to provide powerful support for eye and nervous system health.
There are numerous Chinese Prescriptions that are used for Hypertension but the patient must be evaluated for the proper one to use. If there is high cholesterol you can look into consuming 3 cups of tea made from Shan Zha of Hawthorne berry fruits. Celery, parsly are also good for HBP as they act as dieurtics. I would not try warming herbs as the other poster suggested as some can actually elevate HBP from a TCM perspective and again the method used needs to be chosen to bring balance and determined from the root of the disease through a thorough consultation.
Along with conventional therapy, the best way to lower high blood pressure are to cut back on sugar, salt, caffeine and alcohol and to reduce or eliminate meats in your diet, says David Edelberg, M.D., an internist and medical director of the American Holistic Center/Chicago. He also says peoples with high blood may want to use the following vitamin, mineral and herbal regimen to help control the condition: 500 milligrams of calcium twice a day; 400 milligrams of magnesium twice a day; one tablespoon of flaxseed oil a day; 400 international units of vitamin E a day; 30 milligrams of coenzyme Q-10 three times a day; one hawthorn berry capsule three time a day; and one ginseng capsule twice a day. Flaxseed oil and coenzyme Q- 10, hawthorn berry and ginseng supplements are available in most health food stores.
Yup!
Here are some things to look into that have been scientifically proven to work:
-CoQ10
-Garlic
-Hawthorn
-Resperate
-Zona Plus (my grandfather used this to lower his BP into the normal range, which for him meant a 50 point drop!)
Good Luck!
Here are some natural cure for high blood pressure:
1. Physical exercise of some variety is urged and if you are unable to walk even short distances due to your legs, or have a problem breathing when walking, going for a swim is a very good exercise.
Meditation is one other way of relieving tension but there is also yoga, which is quoted by experts as being a good means to reduce on strain. Respiration workouts are also advocated for persons who suffer very nerve-wracking lives.
2. Eat healthy foods
- Reduce your sodium intake by reading labels as they will inform you the salt content of virtually everything you consume.
- potassium in your diet plan on a day-to-day basis because the advocated measure is 3500 mg. per day.
- Consume more fruits, vegetables
- Avoid trans fat and saturated fat
3. Maintaining stress levels from becoming too high for prolonged periods of time can also help.
4. Maintain a healthy weight. If you’re overweight, losing even 5 pounds (2.3 kilograms) can lower your blood pressure.
5. Limit alcohol. Even if you’re healthy, alcohol can raise your blood pressure. If you choose to drink alcohol, do so in moderation — up to one drink a day for women and everyone over age 65, and two drinks a day for men.
6. Stop smoking. Tobacco injures blood vessel walls and speeds up the process of hardening of the arteries.
It’s not wise to forego medication if it is really high. You risk all kinds of complications.
Most BP meds are quite safe – my mom has been taking them for 25 yrs.
Nutmeg: Lowers Blood Pressure
HOW IT WORKS: “Warming spices” like nutmeg can bring blood from the center of the body to the skin. This helps disperse the blood more evenly throughout the body, reducing overall pressure.
TRY TO GET: 1/2 to 1 teaspoon a day.
USE IT: Steam 1 head of broccoli and one potato until soft, and then puree with 1/4 cup butter and 4 to 5 gratings of fresh nutmeg or 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
non veg also needs to be avoided. For more details on diet remedies, please see: http://www.boddunan.com/health-a-fitness/66-diseases/3647-symptoms-and-remedies-of-high-blood-pressure.html
