Does anyone know a natural remedy for High Blood Pressure that actually works? My present meds have bad side effects?

My present meds have bad side effects. I've tried lots of natural products, herbs and vitamins but nothing seems to keep my BP in normal range. My presciptions work but cause swelling of my legs, bleeding gums, rashes & sickness.

I'm positive there is a natural remedy that will work for me if only I can find it. Any suggestions?

No magic pill If you are overweight and/or out of shape, you are out of luck. High blood pressure kills you by stretching the arteries. Weak places in the arteries react by forming scar tissue like stretch marks.

These stretch marks tend to be the sites that cholesterol attaches to and clogs up the plumbing. The process is essentially irreversible. Pharmaceuticals are intended to treat people who are out of shape.

If you can't tolerate the drugs, the only alternative is veggies and exercise and get your weight down. If you are in shape, You didn't chose your ancestors carefully. You still need to control the bp.

Keep trying different drugs or combinations of them until you find something that works with minimal side effects. You probably know that nicotine, caffeine, sugar, artificial sweeteners, salt, and anything that "tastes good" is pure poison. So, you have a choice: live or die.

The latest blurb on "diet" drinks is that they don't do what you want them to. If you have trouble complying, there are programs and groups that really do help. Good luck.

No magic bullet remedy, just hard work and patience. Not easy, but: 1. Weight loss to your recommended weight.

2. Eliminate stress 3. Eliminate all stimulants, caffeine, etc. 4.

Walk at least 30 minutes a day 5. If diabetic, keep blood sugars under strict control. All of this is certainly harder than taking a pill, and much easier said than done, but it is a proven way to decrease blood pressure.

Increase fresh fruit and vegetables and decrease or eliminate processed foods, fast foods, anything with chemical preservatives and/or corn syrup. Even if you are not diabetic you can follow a diabetic diet to help loose weight. It is safe to use long term and easy to learn.

Stress constricts the blood vessels and increases blood pressure. There are several self-help books and web sites that teach stress reduction. Since stress is a major contributor to hypertension, it is worth learning the relaxation methods.

Walking and aerobic (mild to moderate) exercise strengthens the heart muscle and blood vessels. As you build up endurance, your heart does not have to work as hard and gradually the blood pressure decreases. Write up a plan of action for yourself, then show the plan to your doctor.

He can adjust it or add to it as seems appropriate in your case. You can ask about taking B complex, CoQ10, calcium with magnesium and potassium, and vit. A,C,E to see if he would agree to any or all of them He may give you a month or 2 on your plan and have you return to see if you are doing ok.

If you have a blood pressure monitor, keep a written record of 2 or 3 blood pressures a day, write the time and results down to show the doctor and for your own measurement of your progress.

This is how I lowered mine Sorry, I posted twice I lowered mine, just by exercising, took it down to normal, believe it or not, I am not overweight at all and have HB. I started walking 7 days a week for only 30 mins a day. And strength trained 3x a week, I did stretches for about 10 mins.

Everyday too, just while I was watching tv, it really seems to relax me. I changed my eating habits drastically, though, no salt whatsoever, period, no alcohol, no tobacco, I wouldn't even allow the smoke around me. I eliminated all caffeine, I had to say goodbye to my beloved Mountain Dew.

Now hold on, you may not like this...I ate one clove of garlic a day, I think that is what really helped clinch it. I know, I had to chew mints and gum all the time, maybe you can get the garlic supplements, that is what I use now. It wasn't overnight, but within a month & 3 weeks, my blood pressure was normal.

My therapy was intense, I didn't sway, I just didn't want to take blood pressure medication anymore. When I went in for my check up, my doctor, just couldn't get over it. I don't know what your doing, you didn't say, but I know just exercising and cutting out all sodium, is extremely helpful.

Run this by your doctor, about the garlic and see, what he/she says. Good luck to you! .

Garlic, celiac diet (no dairy, gluten grains) no sugar or bad fat, Fish oil, evening primrose oil, lecithin, Vit E, .. folic acid (is the Ajax of the arteries), EDTA IV chelation and more. Vit C, and coenzyme Q10 help. Cat's claw and fish oil also reduces inflammation.

Celiac people don't digest fats properly. My son is celiac and he is very thin and has high blood pressure. LDN blocks celiac.

He just started on this.

Calcium has been known to lower blood pressure, and is the main ingredient in a lot of the Blood pressure lowering pills. Milk is the most absorable and cheapest form of calcium, but if you're lactose intolerant, you can get calcium supplements at a Health store like Vitamin World or GNC...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
