High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a serious medical issue that should be controlled. If it isn't properly treated it can potentially lead to kidney problems, stroke, heart disease and other health problems. The good news is that there are high blood pressure home remedies that have shown to work for many people.
Before you try any of them it is absolutely essential that you talk to your doctor first. He will be aware of your health history and can make additional recommendations. Furthermore, if you are on medication for the treatment of high blood pressure, you should never stop taking it unless your doctor says otherwise.
It has been well documented that many drugs for hypertension have some potentially serious side effects (again, don't stop taking them unless instructed to do so by your doctor).
However, you can always try some high blood pressure home remedies to get your condition under control. If you can use natural methods to reduce it, then your doctor may allow you to stop taking hypertension drugs.
Here are a few remedies that people have used:
1. Cinnamon can help lower your high blood pressure. Sprinkle it on your other foods. For example, toast and honey, on your morning yogurt, or breakfast cereal.
1. Drink a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water every day.
2. Add 1 teaspoon of fenugreek seeds to 1 cup water. Drink it once in the morning, and then again at night. People who have successfully used this method say it can take anywhere from 3 to 4 weeks for it to work, but that still makes it worthwhile trying!
3. Pomegranate juice can help has improve systolic blood pressure. Drink a glass and receive many other health benefits too! It's a great heart health drink.
4. Diet and exercise. Nothing beats diet and exercise as a home remedy for high blood pressure. Reducing the amount of sodium in your diet will go a long way towards controlling your hypertension. Even if you stay on medication, chances are that your doctor will want you to reduce your sodium intake. Doing aerobic exercise most day of the weeks will improve your overall health and can potentially lower your blood pressure.
Try these high blood pressure home remedies and see for yourself how well they work. Again, be sure to check with your doctor, and never stop taking any medication unless you are expressly told to do so by your doctor. Other than that, these remedies can help you get things under control.
