Helpful Herbs that Keep High Blood Pressure at Bay

September 23, 2009


High blood pressure seems to be a common condition and this is mainly because we lead stressful lives and are unable to control or stress. This added to the fact that we do not eat well balanced meals and lack any form of exercise in our lives are the reasons for high blood pressure. Doctors prescribe several medications to get rid of this condition though I prefer to depend on herbs for the cure. They will help to cure your condition and you need not fear any side effects.

Garlic is a pungent herb that is used in most culinary preparations as a flavor or a seasoning. It is like an onion; the only differentiating factor is that it has more medicinal properties. Its pungent flavor adds to the flavor of your food and does your body a world of good. Sauté the herb with oil and add it to almost all food preparations; in this way you spice up the flavor of the food and help your body to control your blood pressure as well. Alternatively if your pressure is soaring then you must eat a raw piece of garlic every morning. This will help you to control your soaring pressure levels within a few days.

Another herb that will help you out is ginger. Like garlic it is pungent in flavor and adds spice to your food. The difference is that the flavor is too strong to consume it in the raw state. You can add it in your food preparations or blend it with tea for best flavor and maximum impact.

The olive leaf from the olive plant is also beneficial to those suffering from high blood pressure. The aromatic fragrance of the plant helps to control cravings of foods that are unhealthy and unsafe for your condition.

Turmeric is a medication that is commonly used in Ayurveda and it is native to India. While it is commonly used for its anti septic properties to fight cuts and wounds. The herb must be used in vegetable preparations to help to build resistance and fight high blood pressure.
