Home Remedies for High blood pressure

NATURAL HOME REMEDIES FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

High blood pressure or hypertension is a disease of the modern age. It is regarded as silent killer. The fast pace of life and the mental and physical pressure increase the adrenaline in the blood stream and this causes the pressure of the blood to rise. The force exerted by the heart as it pumps the blood the blood into the large arteries creates a pressure within them and this is known as blood pressure. A certain level of blood pressure is important to keep the blood circulating in the body. When the pressure becomes high, it causes high blood pressure, which is further caused by narrowing of the small blood vessels known as capillaries. The narrowing puts more stress on the heart to pump blood through the blood vessels.

The highest pressure reached during each heartbeat is called systolic pressure and the lowest between two beats is known as diastolic pressure. The systolic pressure gives the pressure of the contraction of the heart as it pushes the blood throughout the body. The diastolic pressure gives the pressure present in the artery when the heart is relaxed and shows the condition of the blood vessels. The individuals having diastolic blood pressure 90 mmHg and systolic 105mmHg are considered as mildly hypertensive. Diastolic blood pressure above 95 mmHg and systolic above 160 mmHg are considered moderate hypertensive and diastolic above 110 and systolic above 200 mmHg as severely hypertensive.

Causes of High Blood Pressure

The various causes of high blood pressure are:

Obesity
Stress
Hormonal changes in women
High intake of sodium

Take a combination of 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon of honey after each meal.

#1 - DHeyward - 07/23/2007 - 11:32

cider vinegar, honey, garlic, unsalted nuts, potatoes,C0Q10, lots of garlicie, fennelized italian food with requisite olive oil, bread, grapefruit, cayenne, all will to one degree or another, lower bp along with suffient water and exercise or the Pharmaceutical Industry has pills made with synthetic Brazilian jungle poison snake venom derivatives....ooooeeee! One large gl[@] of Red Wine a week or two gl[@]es of Goose Island lager capped off with a period of meditation before the next doctor visit.....laize le bone ton roulez

I have heard celery lowers blood pressure

#3 - Kathy - 11/25/2007 - 11:12

take qarter cup pepsi with a sqeezed lemon.

#4 - aggie - 04/15/2008 - 20:07

I would just like to point out that there appears to be an error on this page. The statement reads: The individuals having diastolic blood pressure 90 mmHg and systolic 105mmHg are considered as mildly hypertensive. A systolic of 105 mmHg would be very much desired by anyone. Mild hypertension systolics would be 130 - 159 or some would say 140 -159. This should be corrected since many could be confused or misinformed regarding a very serious health condition.

#5 - Lauren - 06/20/2008 - 13:17

Thanks Lauren that is sooooo true....:-D

#6 - Melysa - 09/03/2008 - 00:33

Lauren, sorry sweetheart but you too my dear are wrong. hypertention is 120 and 139. And honestly anything over 135 is considered high blood pressure. Whom ever told you that should not be in the medical field. Tell them they need to get updated. I just wanted to inform you so you nor anyone else walk around with incorrect information that is very vital to living a healthy life.

#7 - Niki - 10/16/2008 - 21:08

garlic is the best

#8 - patricia - 10/24/2008 - 21:31

Niki, you need to do more research cause you do not know what the hell you are talking about.....Lauren, you are correct.

#9 - Medic - 11/24/2008 - 14:23

how should i take the garlic

#10 - Clari - 12/16/2008 - 11:34

juice of beetroot lowers the blood pressure.

Try it now

#11 - soi - 01/07/2009 - 09:36

If you try the 1 tsp cayenne pepper with water be prepared to have bread or something close by to cool your mouth off. It burns all the way down.:-o

#12 - Lisha - 01/13/2009 - 14:58

It should be stressed that the ordinary apple cider vinegar that most people buy has been pasteurized and has absolutely no health benefits whatsoever and is useless in lowering BP. You must purchase "Organic, Raw, Unfiltered, Unpasteurized apple cider vinegar with the Mother." Its the only kind of AC that lowers BP.

#13 - Cyril - 01/16/2009 - 18:35

I thinks its good post .. thanks

#16 - anna - 02/10/2009 - 04:20

Start the morning with a gl[@] of orange juice, some whole grain toast and plain yogurt with a banana cut up and blueberries in the yogurt. This is breakfast loaded with pot[@]ium, fiber, calcium, magnesium and low fat. All a good natural way to lose weight and low blood pressure!

#17 - Mark - 03/16/2009 - 21:23

I appreciate the home remedies given for High Blood Pressure above. The best and cheapest home remedy for all kind of heart problem is GARLIC. Gulping fine pieces of two garlic flakes with water on empty stomach before breakfast daily will take care of many ailments besides heart problems.

garlic is great for high bp but it ooze out of your pores when you sweat its ofensive:-(

#24 - tk - 09/05/2009 - 22:43

Garlic is still the best and the cheapest but should be taken last thing in the night with water. In my village we have herbal tea which is very effective when combined with garlic

#25 - elizabeth - 09/18/2009 - 02:08

I have had high bloodpressure for about 10 years. I have been on SOoo many different kinds of b/p meds all of which had bad side effects or just plain didnt work.I heard about the cayenne pepper 1teaspoon in a cup of hot water, and my garlic pill, and hawthorneberry capsule. after about 1 week my b/p is 117/ 76 it had been 152/103 I will never take meds again

#26 - Ladonna - 09/25/2009 - 20:35

Ladonna, what exact amounts of each are you using? Love to know.

#27 - Martin - 09/26/2009 - 02:08

I start my morning with a cup of cayenne tea 1 teaspoon in a cup of hot water . I take my garlic pill, and my hawthorn berry 565mg. I do this three times a day. I also drink 2tablespoons of organic vinegar in water sometime during the day. It lowered my bloodpressure and doesnt give me bad side effects.

#28 - Ladonna - 09/27/2009 - 09:23

hi... my mom has a blood pressure of 200....she s 58 yrs old? s d increased bp s bcoz of d age ? :oops: plz giv some suggestions..

#29 - gomathi - 10/05/2009 - 11:32

I don't believe age is a factor. Stress, weight, hormones, diet...and I am sure a few more, affect it.
If her systolic blood pressure (the top number) is 200 then she really should get to a doctor and start eating well, greatly reduce salt intake in her diet, eliminate carbonated beverages (they actually retain body fluid), try deep breathing exercises (slow deep breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth - a deep breath would be if your belly pushes slightly outward during the inhale...) and/or meditation to help reduce stress.
If she is overweight she needs to start losing it. Make she she stays active no matter what her weight is, but start with simple things like brisk walking for at least a half hour a day...hour would be better.
And, of course, try all the home remedies you can listed above. If you believe in God than you know that everything on earth was created with a purpose to be used to benefit all on the earth.

#30 - susan - 10/08/2009 - 21:23

Does anyone on here know the true readings of blood pressure and whats dangerous. and whats ok I was taught that 120/80 was the perfect reading. My doctor told me that the lower number was the one that he is most concerned with

#31 - Paul - 10/17/2009 - 16:50

I just want to say thanks to all who have posted here. I'm anxious because my blood pressure is not coming down despite an increase in meds. I hate taking pharmaceuticals anyway. I will try some of these methods beginning today! Bless you all. :-D

#32 - annee_mchughes - 10/25/2009 - 08:22

Hello, everyone. I'm a black 43 year old female. I started having high blood pressure once I gained weight. 230lb. I've lost 16 lbs and my job about 2 years ago. I no longer had insurance to pay for Pharm pills, and i always knew garlic was good for blood pressure but a close friend told me to also take cayenne pepper pills which i do now. Guess what no more high blood pressure the cayenne pepper pills are 1000mg. So I take 1cayenne pill, 1 multivitamin, and 2garlic pills everyday and I haven't felt better. Since I've been taking the natural way my feet or ankles hasn't swelled at all. Oh yea I don't smoke or drink. Good luck to everyone.

#39 - shaminder makol - 12/03/2009 - 04:55

I appreciate all the great advise here, it has all been so helpful! So glad for Ladonna that she was able to stop taking pharma drugs and I thank her for her tip about the cayenne but when I tried drinking the 1 tsp. of cayenne in the hot water, I could not tolerate it.....HOT! Will try the cayenne in capsules and also the garlic capsules.
I also celebrate with Mingming her success in using the natural remedies. I worked in a doctors office for years and saw first hand all the problems of side effects with BP meds. All our medicine truly is in our food...all that God has created for us! Wishing you all success in using natural home remedies!

Workout is a must to reduce all ailments.
Deep Breathing every now and then can do wonders.
Take 10 gl[@]es of water daily.

#41 - Rehana - 12/15/2009 - 02:20

Thank you all for the great tips. I am a 26 year old female and I am currently taking 2 medications to control my HBP it's a bit scary to be so young and have to be on medication. I think it may just be my weight, I'm hoping that's what it is so I've been watching what I eat and excercising I'm a bit embarr[@]ed to say what my BP is but it's not good mine has been over all the ones stated in past comments I've been in the hospital and they wouldn't let me leave until it went down that's how high it was. Once again Thanks and God Bless! Wish me luck as I wish you all luck and a healthy life!

#42 - jimenez - 12/16/2009 - 22:19

I would like to find out what is the preparation method for the neem and holy basil, is it boiled, pounded, or eaten raw.

#43 - lyn - 12/22/2009 - 05:04

Artichoke is good for everything including high BP... especially is u r retaining fluid. I try to eat it at least 3 times a week; artichoke leaves are my snack now instead of chips or cookies and I feel like I am a teenager again...;-)

#44 - Rhea - 01/05/2010 - 02:34

It's really a shame that the pharmaceuticals are making all this money by providing meds that are keeping us sick! Back to Nature is where we should be! God bless all of you who've contributed to the natural remedies here. Did you know Sea Salt is our friend too?? Check it out and be enlightened...

#45 - SLou - 01/05/2010 - 14:37

I had a partial mastectomy for breast cancer Nov 19th of this year. I had 1 chemo treatment and about to have my second one the 18th. My blood pressure is always up when taken at the cancer center. But at my doctors it's ok. I purchased a blood pressure monitor, last week. When I get up in the morning before drinking water or eating it reads anywhere from 155/105 to 149/98 pulse ranges between 70 to 92. I wait 10 minutes and take it again, it really doesn't go down much. Through the day it varies from 146/98 to 138/89. Tried the meds and got really sick. I felt like a zombie. Tried half a dose still felt awful. Lost my balance also. Felt faint all the time. I have been trying the garlic, fish oil, and cinnamon to help Lower blood glucose and cholesterol with no luck. I am on a low carb diet. I have severe diarrhea and am being checked for my pancreas, Celiac disease, and wheat gluten and had to do a 3-Day Stool Testing, blood work and a Ct scan. Haven't gotten the results yet. Had a upper and lower GI done showed some inflammation and had one colon polyp that was neg. Been checking my blood gulcose and it averages 145 for 14 days.

#46 - Jeanette - 01/16/2010 - 11:00

So...if you're blood pressure is like 250/190...is considered emergency? or is there probably..an error with the machine?

#47 - Krystal - 02/03/2010 - 18:05

my daughter is 21 and is experiencing bouts of high blood pressure. She's a college athlete that practices every day....doesn't smoke, drink (alcohol or soft drinks), eats right. Top number around 160. She's had an ultra sound of her heart, EKG, and stress test. All normal. Worried and don't know what to do.... suggestions?

#48 - BJ - 02/05/2010 - 23:25

Jeanette, The chemo treatments and medication they are giving you for this could be elevating your sugar and cholesterol. If you are comfortable with the supplements I would keep taking them once treatment is over and your body tries to establish its "Normal" you might find that what you are doing has helped. I always investigate my medication to see what side affects there may be. Also sometime there are blogs out there that are helpful too. People going thru the same thing and you might compare notes with.
Personally I have had many small strokes, I have been treating my self with natural supliment and stoped the medications and I feel better and my cholesterol has come down, still working on triglycerides and sugar. I have tried the cinnamon and raw honey and my glucose levels have been down to 103 morning test from 123 - 145 morning test. Also I was on the virge of a sinus infection or head cold/sore throat and drinking this for 3 days it was gone but I continued for 5 days for good measure. I believe it strengthened my immune system, my family came down with cough and sore throat, they didn't like my recipe and wanted something that worked "faster" but I didn't get sick again as usual with my weak immune system from the stroke and my inability to exercise to strengthen my body.

PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT saying don't take the treatments or the medications. Just that if you continue the supplements you might find that you have done yourself some good. I am getting the results my doctor wants with out the nasty side affects. He's pleased and says continue what I'm doing because it seems to be working. He is in the loop.

Good Luck and God Bless to All

My father has been taking medicines for high BP for a long time now. But recently due to the intake of some other medicines for his other health problems, the BP tablets have become ineffective. N now though he takes BP tablets everyday, His BP continues to remain very high. Will these home remdies help? And should he continue to take his BP medicine along with these natural remedies? even though they are being of no help, I dont want him to stop taking the medicines.

buy two bl press ARM cuff type monitors acheepio at£15 and a dearer one at say £45 the wrist ones are sometimes not accurate. This is so you can check ona against the other.systolic BP is about 40 to 50 points difference but thats just a guide Ihave come across elderly people with 180 systolic and it has not seemed to have harmed them in their eighties,so dont panic....If youve got 120/80 you are ok. If it is 140/90 you need to consider whether to take the doctors med,or try herbal and food remedies. If its over 160/110 get advice soonish.

Am a hypertensive on chronic for almost 9 years. I find that weight and stress are major contributors. I have tried garlic tablets, not sure of how effective they are. Would love to come off medication. Will try other alternatives. Natural remedies are the best cos the side effects of prescribed medications truly do more harm than help.

Those who ask others to tell them what to take for a problem are not being responsible for their own healthcare and are taking a serious risk. (Please, hear me out before you yell at me. :) Not that most would intentionally suggest something dangerous, but anyone can make a mistake. In additon, those of you with several very serious-sounding issues especialy, should immediately go to the ER or see a doctor.
I say this because a couple of you scared me and I fear you could die before you can try these remedies. The things we offer here are not meant for emergencies. Most take some time to work and it is often difficult to tell right away and dosages may have to be adjusted. When you begin taking something new, you should just try one new thing at a time, not 3 or 5 generally. Your medical problems are complex and so are the treatments. If you have three problems and began 3 treatments all at once, how would you know what works? Usually you will find if you begin one new treatment at a time, it is much easier to evaluate to determine it's effectiveness. If you take 3 new things, begin to feel better, which one is responsible, or which 2 out of 3? There is no way to know.
To get the real benefits of these wonderful "foods that are also medicines" we must treat them with the respect they deserve. Do some homework and check out those you are considering, learn about them and be responsible for your own health. If you don't know anything, how will you know if one is making your worse? It is fine to take suggestions from others but you need to know about them yourself so you will recognize any problems should they develop. Some herbs can kill you. Don't you want to know which ones? There are some problems that won't respond to home remedies and it becomes necessary to take prescriptions, at least for awhile. Maybe later they will respond to something kinder and gentler. I hope so.
There is one last thing I would like to point out. There are doctors who know all about these kinds of remedies an cures and will help you decide what to take and how much. These doctors have D.O. after their names, not M.D. They are M.D.'s whom take a lot of additional training to learn all about supplements, herbs, the things Chiropracters know, etc. (The one I go to also knows some Chinese Medicine). The "D.O." is for "Doctor of Osteopothy" (I think that is right) and their main focus is on illness prevention. Therefore, they are on the same page you are when it comes to finding things you can take, or finding something you can do without filling a traditional prescription. If you need one though, these doctors can write one, if you don't, they can tell you what to buy at the health food store to become a healthier, happier person. There are some states where you cannot find a D.O. but others license them like they do regular M.D.'s. So check and see if your area is D.O.-Friendly. The best of luck to you all in your quest for health and happiness. :-) Karen

first thing is to check with your doc to see if there is an underlying cause for yourHBPressure. If none can be found try the docs medication.Such as diuretics beta blockers ace inhibitors types 1 or 2, or calcium channel blockers.or alpha blockers.Consult your google for side effects. If the side effects are intolerable ask your doc to let you try another one.this is important, dont take one that is making your life hell.......Personally the only one i can take is diltiazem that is after trying all the others. diltiazem is calc.chan.blocker.The herbs mentioned previously in my letter above seem to be OK but with diltiaz DONT TAKE HAWTHORN. ...... I must say with my dilt pills my constipation is NEAR to hell But the herbs mentioned above in my previous letter appear to be OK .But then your two arm BP monitors will let you know.

further to previous. celery seed capsules taken as advised on the container. Ordinary celery sticks would need 4 per day and cold be bad long term(pyrrolizidine alkaloids ).... Take Co enzyme Q10 at upto 150mg per day. Pycnogenol at upto 200mg per day ..Lycopene (Lycomato) tomato extract 15mg per day..Grape seed capsules upto 300mg per day. If you take no alcohol, then take half a gl[@] of RED grape juice per day,and sweeten it if needed. Omega 3.6.9. capsules as per container. Evening Primrose caps upto 6 per day. As for Garlic this works but can take months to act,but i could not take the smell The main items above should be taken over a period of a month to establish results Cayenne is useful but take it in middle meal in capsule form so it wont burn Other items which can help with your cholesterol include cinnamon fenugreek ginger root , dandelion and stinging nettle...DONT TAKEANY OF THE ABOV IF YOU ARE PREG OR HAVE EPILEPSY

#80 - terencec - 10/19/2010 - 14:44

Hawthorn Berries 565mg - 2 times daily

Garlic Oil 1mg - 2 or 3 times daily

Triple Magnesium Complex 400mg - 1 daily

Amealpeptide 3.4mg - 1 daily

Beta Sitosterol (also known as Plant Sterols) 400mg - 2 times daily

If you take all these and exercise (yoga is good), watch your diet (low salt and no fried food) and avoid stress then you will see a reduction in your blood pressure.

You should aim for 120/80 but 130/90 is still good. It is only when it gets to 140/100 that it starts to become an issue and you should see your Doctor. Remember it is your average number that counts so check it over a week. If it gets high then put up your feet and relax and it will go down.

I'm 26 yrs old and I have 180/99 high BP :-( I'm really scared that I'm gonna die.. I hate when the clock hits 10pm and I go to lay down on my warm comfy bed.. I freak out and run to the bathroom just so my blood pressure won't go high but it still does and when I lay down it's hard to breathe by the time I was to try to sleep and it's like 3a.m. I let the sleepy droopy eyes knock me out.. it's an awful experience every night.. I wish it can go away already.. I've been to the emergency room and they said I'm just stressed and too anxious, that I should take some relaxation pills and garlic pills.. and also they've given me a chest inflamation pill.. ahhh I want to be normal again and not take any dang pills.. why is this happening to me? how can I make my high blood pressure go away

How many/much garlic flakes do one take a day? Can you buy them from a health food store?

#88 - bj - 01/08/2011 - 15:33

I agree in theory a lot of things mentioned here may work but it depends on the person. If you starting using natural medicine then you should monitor you blood pressure because some may help it and some may increase it.

I personally go for the safer options. I use Amealpeptide, Magnesium and Hawthorn Berries for my Blood Pressure. Beta Sitosterol and Policosanol for my Cholesterol. And then take Garlic, Omega 3, COQ10 and Mulitvitamins for my overall health.

Taking these should improve your blood pressure and overall health but you can't expect good results if you are overweight and don't exercise.

So get into fitness regime but make sure you start off slow and then increase you exercise. A good thing to use at home is the Wii Fit. It lets you monitor your weight, you can set goals and vary the types of exercise so it is fun. You can even use it to do Yoga.

You should also find ways to relax such as doing Meditation because another reason you may have blood pressure is because of stress.

Most of all don't beat yourself up over this and learn to take care of yourself and start putting your health and your well being first. If people around you are making that difficult then politely say 'no' to them.

I’ve been on a mission to find solutions for people who want to improve the quality of their lives, without chemical drugs. Often times, doctors will write a prescription for some drug that the profit-minded pharmaceutical companies are pushing when the drug isn’t even necessary!Nice information and too good concept.

Regarding Pain Killers - it is NOT safe to take certain ones when you have high blood pressure because they could increase it. The safer ones are Aspirin and ones containing Acetaminophen. You should AVOID ones which are NSAID's. However you should note that although some are safer, any of these pain killers could increase your blood pressure so be very careful.

#100 - Sean - 04/10/2011 - 06:51

I am age 60. Blood pressure was quite high six
months ago. I got this PHOBIA now and am
afraid to take it! I have been trying things tho. I
take hawthorn with cayenne, but i think the best
thing i discovered is an indian herb called Jiva
Mukta Vati. The indian sites almost guarantee it
works and fast. Do a google search and you will
find it. I had a forum (like this one) not connected
to the pills where everyone said it helped a lot,
but now i can't find the forum. I thought i book
marked it. If i can find it i will write back here.

Anyway, i've been taking the jiva mukta vati for
six months. It must be working as my pulse rate
is down to 60 beats at rest and 55 in morning
before i get out of bed., and when i excercise on
the bouncer it does not go over 70. I know it
lowered the pulse as before i took the pills my
pulse was 80 at rest and i was having anxiety
attacks now and then. I feel much calmer, BUT
i am terrified to take the pressure! How can i
get around that? I got cut bad a few months ago
and would not go to the hosp. cuz i was afraid
of them taking the bl. pressure. So i doctored
myself and i got a little scar now. The jiva mukta
vati pills are VERY cheap. Check out various sites
as some sell them higher and some cheaper. I
usually get mine for $7 a box , but then you pay
more for shipping. Or pay $20 a box and get free
shipping. It evens out. I like the ones in the pop
out tinfoil paks. Delivery takes anywhere from
2wks to 6 wks depending where you order them
from. There's a place in Alabama or Georgia
which is fast. Check the herbal pills out. Oh, they
have a terrible taste tho. Yur supposed to chew
them, but i let em melt on my tongue, then
swallow with water and chew gum or mints
after. Marie

I was on Lisinopril for a year before developing occasional stomach aches. It got progressively worse so I started looking into alternatives. My neighbor was raving about a osteoporosis supplement and told me they have something for hypertension. I've been taking a supplement called Optimum Blood Pressure Support now, happy camper.

#106 - bob - 09/12/2011 - 07:34

A note that high cholesterol may cause high blood pressure. A way you can tell is if your blood pressure seems to go up after you have a good meal. If it does then you might want to go on a low cholesterol diet and take some natural supplements such as Beta Sitosterol and Policosanol.

#107 - Sean - 10/11/2011 - 04:27

Wow, I'm so happy I found this site! I've tried a few of the tips over the years & some have help to lower my blood pressure. I also take supplements. I too have had negative reactions to the medications my doctor recommended. He suggestion a breathing/squeezing technique & it really worked. I don't remember the website but the product is called iLowerBP and it really helped me. It comes with a dvd that has the most beautiful scenes. My favorites are the fish tank, the fireplace, and the beach scene. Anyhow, it's worked for me so I thought I should share. BTW- I dont work for them or anything.

#110 - Margie - 01/27/2012 - 10:02

140/90 is above normal but not normally dangerous but if your Father is having trouble breathing as well then he needs to see a Doctor.
