However, if you're currently on drugs for blood pressure control, do not stop taking them on your own. If you wish to keep your high blood pressure (hypertension) lowered naturally, first see your physician so that he can coordinate with you a safe program that involves gradually, over time, lowering your drug doses. If he tries to talk you out of this safe way to wean off drugs and test out natural methods, then see another doctor. Did you know that usually, doctors get a bonus from the pharmaceutical company that makes the drug that they prescribe? Thus, doctors want to keep you on drugs!
With that in mind, here are proven, 100 percent natural methods for lowering blood pressure.
Supplements
Garlic
Potassium
Fish oil (omega-3 fatty acids)
Vitamins C and E (with selenium)
Coenzyme Q10
Quercetin
Parsley
Calcium (with magnesium)
Vitamin B complex
Note: Eating garlic is not enough, because the therapeutic dose is equivalent to three whole cloves daily.
Foods
Eat more: fruits and vegetables, particularly bananas, broccoli, orange juice, prunes, winter squash and apples. Also eat more whole grains. Make sure the ingredients list has the word "whole" before the grain's name.
Additionally, increase consumption of legumes/beans, nuts and seeds. Nuts and seeds are best if eaten raw. If you use cooking oil, use only olive or canola.
Avoid or cut back on these ingredients:
