What are some
effective high blood pressure cures?
Untreated,
high blood pressure known as hypertension, can cause damage
to the kidney, eyes, blood vessels and the heart. The scary thing is
that the damage done to your body is irreversible.
The great news is that it
is very easy to find out if you have high blood pressure. Most pharmacies
have a self-monitor station for checking your blood pressure. Get
readings several times over a week to get an average. Then discuss these results with your doctor or pharmacist.
Before you get a prescription from your
doctor to treat high
blood pressure, it’s a good idea to try out some
natural remedies and to make some changes to your lifestyle and diet
first. (The article High Blood Pressure provides many suggestions.)
Below is a list of the top herbs, vitamins and supplements
that are
known to lower blood pressure.
#1 Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)
This
vitamin-like chemical is found in every part of your body. Clinical
studies show that taking 100 mg twice daily can bring the blood pressure
down. This natural substance is also essential for the health of your heart as well.
#2 Fish Oil
Typically,
elevated blood pressure is commonly associated with heart disease. Fish
oil contains large amount of omega-3 fatty acids known to protect
against heart disease. It also lowers blood pressure modestly. Take
fish oil for heart health and it's ability to lower blood pressure as a
bonus!
#3 Garlic
As
with fish oil, high intake of garlic lowers the risk of heart disease.
Several studies show that garlic can effectively lower blood pressure
by up to 7%. This is a significant effect so everyone suffering from
hypertension need to take this herb.
#4 Calcium and Magnesium
These two
essential minerals are used to build strong bones but they do much more
than that. Calcium and magnesium
are needed by the blood vessels to control blood pressure.
#5 Vitamin C
This
essential vitamin is very well known for curing the common cold, but
did you know that it is a potent antioxidant that can also lower blood
pressure as well?
#6 Potassium
A
lot of research studies show that high dose of potassium lowers blood
pressure. However, a word of caution here. The dosage needed to lower
blood pressure is very high and should only be taken under the
supervision of a doctor.
Don’t forget to make lifestyle changes
like managing stress, increasing physical activity and eating more
fruits and vegetables. Cutting back on salt intake is scientifically
proven beyond any doubt to lower blood pressure. Check the article on DASH
Diet Guidelines to discover what you can do.

are many more other natural remedies and supplements. You can find all
the
details complete with recommended dose to use in our article High Blood
