“Natural Treatment” for high blood pressure??
Is there an alternative, more natural way to lower blood pressure? (non-pill-popper)
Also, will taking the medication prescribed cause the body to be dependent on the medicine? If I begin to take them, then stop taking it, will it do more harm than good?

You could try adding more fish to your diet. I prefer to take Omega 3 from pure fish oil in capsule form since I do not prefer the taste of fish.
BEST WISHES!
stay hydrated, use garlic, eat whole foods.
of course and I am glad you ask!
it is not so much taking things to drop HBP, they are things to eliminate.
high fat, and sodium are main contributors to HBP other than alcohol and cigarettes.
I would take out all salt in your diet and most fat.
plus many homeopathic meds help too, like centrum A-Z.
try a daily vitamin and taking out the salts.
Working out actually reduces the level of hypertension. If I were you, walking or jogging in the morning will lower your blood pressure.
1: Find the source. 2: Beat the piss out of it. 3: If that doesnt work, lots of sex.
This is a boring answer, but it’s true… exercise and diet. Specifically, aerobic exercise and lots of fruit and vegetable products, high in potassium. Losing weight can bring it down significantly. You want to stay away from sodium as much as you can, so avoid salty foods. There is also a natural supplement called CoQ10 that you can buy anwhere which has been shown to help a little… Also, stress could be part of your high blood pressure, so lowering it or finding better ways to manage it (relaxation techniques, meditation, sleeping longer, etc.) could be part of the answer for you. Avoiding drugs (including cigarettes and caffeine) that raise your blood pressure is helpful, too. But if you do all of those things and the blood pressure stays high (above 120-130/85-90), you should take the medicine your doctor gave you. It is often very good to be a non-pill-popper, but in this case, it has been very well proven that the risk of harm from taking the pills is much, much less than the risk of harm from NOT taking the pills and leaving the blood pressure uncontrolled.
Life Extension recommends people strive for an optimal blood pressure of 115/75 mm Hg.
Because many of the nutrients that lower blood pressure act along the same metabolic pathways as blood pressure–lowering medications, it is important to let your physician know which supplements you are taking before beginning conventional blood pressure medication.
Nutrients that may help lower blood pressure include:
C12 casein peptide—200 to 400 milligrams (mg)/day
Grape seed extract—150 to 300 mg/day
Pomegranate extract—50 to 100 mg/day
Arjuna bark extract—250 to 500 mg twice a day
Calcium—1200 to 1500 mg/day
CoQ10—100 to 300 mg/day
Garlic—1200 mg/day
Hawthorn berry extract—240 mg twice a day between meals
L-arginine—2000 mg three times a day between meals
Magnesium—500 mg/day (or more), based on maximum bowel tolerance and hypotensive effect; take the most at night before bed
Olive leaf extract—500 mg/day
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)—1400 mg/day of EPA and 1000 mg/day of DHA
Potassium—99 mg/day (or more) when instructed to do so by a health care professional, based on blood test results
Soy protein—17 to 34 grams (g)/day
Taurine—1000 to 6000 mg/day
Vitamin C—1 to 3 g/day
Vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol succinate)—400 International Units (IU)/day with about 200 mg of gamma-tocopherol
