Natural Remedies for Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

Adele Davis, the well know American nutritionist, says that trials have been done using cholin which have been proved to help lower BP. This is an ingredient in a Vit B complex supplement. I had been neglecting to take my vitamin supplements and decided to get back into the habit. Each evening I take an executive B complex, a calcium/magnesium tablet, a fish oil capsule, multi vitamin and a 500 mg Vitamin E capsule (vit E tends to increase BP if you don't start taking it in small doses). When I returned to the doctor after a few months, my BP had come down significantly.

I have been walking more lately and my BP has dropped to 114/73 and I'm 66 yr young. I take Apple Cider Vinegar 2x a day and 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil a day. I have also eliminated taking any acid reflux meds also which I was on for 8 years. The site has been good for me and my health. I am lucky that that is all the ailments I have is high bp which is under control and acid reflux which is under control. Now about those 6 grandkids, lol.

Worked Temporarily

I also have high blood pressure, just drinking a glass of water will greatly reduce it, but not for long. Its finding a way to keep it down where you dont have to drink water constantly thats tricky!

High Blood Pressure - Water. The reason apple cider vinegar 'cure' works is because it's usually taken with lots of water. If you don't like the tast of apple cider vinegar, just drink 6-8 glasses of water per day--2 glasses upon rising and the rest before 5pm. High blood pressure is actually just the adaptive process your body has to severe "water deficiency". Drink lots of pure water daily and don't be surprised if your other ailments are cured within weeks or even days.

Response to Hans:

12/09/2008: Hans from Delft, Zuid Holland / The Netherlands writes: "Hi Ted, Thanks for all your alkalizing advice. I have been using the lemon + baking soda formula for over 6 months now. I have a lot of energy. My skin looks great. The pH of my urine is 7,5 or higher consistantly. I take one lemon plus about 1 teaspoon of baking soda. I add one liter of water. this is what i do twice a day. Now here comes my question. Some people noticed my change in energy and also the way i look. They started doing the same, but they experience a rise in bloodpressure. My own bloodpressure doesn't rise above 125 / 83 even when i add extra baking soda. Could you explain why my bloodpressure stays the same while my friend's bloodpressure rises? Several others didn't report anything but positive from this remedy. My aunt and brothers told me their Acid reflux was gone in a few days. They also experience significant weight loss. Thanks alot!

Best regards,
Hans"

High blood pressure is often caused by chronic dehydration. The body needs a certain amount of sodium, but the body also needs to be constantly flushed by drinking enough water, which will help flush excess sodium from the system. When you feel thirst, you are already very dehydrated as this is one of the last symptoms of dehydration to manifest.

As a rule of thumb, take your body weight in pounds and divide by 2. This simple calculation gives you the number of ounces of water your body needs daily. Coffee, tea, juice, and colas don't count. Divide by 8 and this will tell you how many glasses of water you need each day.

Drinking this amount of water daily will naturally bring your blood pressure in line. A good friend of mine was able to discontinue his high blood pressure medication within 2 months of beginning this practice.

Keep in mind that strenuous physical activity and living in dry climates may increase your water requirements.

White Cumin seeds, Fennel Seeds, Green Cardamom for Hypertension (Blood Pressure)

Found this protocol highly effective. My age 65 yrs. had Cardiac arrest in April 2022. Given medications to regulate BP. As a result, my uric acid jumped, which I have normalized by taking daily 4 tablespoon of ACV in a glass of water 3 times a day.

For normalizing BP, I take 1 tsp of white cumin seeds, 1 tsp of fennel seeds and 2 whole cardamoms. Put them in 1 cup of water. Bring the water to boil. When about 1/2 cup of water is left. Drink it as tea with breakfast. You can drink it warm or cold and interestingly it is very tasty. My regular BP use to be 125-130/80-85 using 50mg of Metoprolol. In a matter of few days/1 week, BP dropped to 90's/60's. Dr reduced the dosage to 25 mg.

After reducing medication, BP is around 100/65. It is important that you have a good BP monitor machine to regularly checking your BP. I will experiment by taking this tea twice a day or eliminating my medicine and see the effect on my BP. As I said earlier, this protocol is highly effective. I hope this info helps.

Hello everyone,

Ted mentioned to use either Erythritol or pure Xylitol to lower blood pressure. Erythritol is a substitute sweetner - do these products actually lower blood pressure significantly? Has anyone tried them and got good results? Thank you!

I have has High Blood Pressure for several years and have tried exercise and Several ayurvedic treatments without much success. I started a Yoga deep breathing exercise and within a week noticed that my blood pressure was better managed. You take a very deep breath through your nose for a count of 4 - hold breath for a count of 2 and breath out through the nose for a count of of 6. It is easy for anyone of any age to do and does not require any special equipment. Just drink at least 2 Ltrs of water everyday. You can sit o teh floor or use a chair if you can't sit on the floor

I do three sets of 10 breaths in the morning and at night before going to sleep. Allow 2 hrs after food.

There are several breathing exercises or Pranayama in Yoga that work very well. You can find free and detailed information about this and video instruction on www.anmolmehta.com or You Tube - search Swami Ramdev Yoga

Hope this helps and God Bless
