Salt for Persistent Low Blood Pressure

One of the things I love about EC is that people get to reflect upon some health situations that made a difference in our well being, and how we possibly solved the problem.

I remember when salt was declared enemy number one as far as my mother was concerned because the doctor told her it was bad for her blood pressure. The older she got the easier it was for her to stay away from salt.

Fast foods always tasted over salted to her. Now, if the truth be told I do remember when she started her no salt war, the doctor said she could cook with salt, but do not add any salt directly to her food.

When mom was in her late 80's, she noticed that her blood pressure had started dropping low. She learned to only take her blood pressure medicine if pressure was high.

Then she began to find herself with hospital stays because she began to get fainting spells. Her blood pressure would suddenly drop after, or while she was using the toilet and she would faint.

The doctor started giving her sodium pills to prevent that. When mom found out that they were giving her sodium pills, she said, "If they would put some salt on my food they would not have to give me salt pills."

Listen to your doctor, mother's doctor said, when preparing food cook with it, salt, sea salt, your body needs some salt! Stay away from processed food when you can, home cooking is the best cooking. I'm talking to me too. Take good care of yourself.

The previous post mentions Dr. Wilson, whose book I have read. I would like to give him credit for the idea of drinking salt water. It works much faster and better than putting salt in your food. He says that it is because one of the four minerals in all of our cells, is sodium (calcium, magnesium, and potassium being the other three). When our cells don't have enough sodium (salt, and by the way sea salt is a great form of sodium), then they cannot take in and retain the water that they need.

I've been having really bad hypotension for the last week, so have been searching the net for remedies. I had forgotten about the salt water cure. 1/2 teaspoon is too much for me (gag). I just use my instincts, and shake the salt into the glass of water, stir and drink. Then-immediately, it made me drink cup after cup of fresh water, while I was still standing in my kitchen. My body really needed water!-but couldn't take it in without the sodium! I think my blood pressure might be better (I don't have a way to measure at home) because I feel bright-eyed and awake and energetic now. For some reason, salty food does not make me feel energetic--on the contrary, all food immediately makes me tired.

A few years ago, I started having severe heart palpitations. Cardiologist walked in and immediately said, "I can tell you eat right and exercise, and I can probably tell you what to do, but I have to make the bosses happy, so let's get a couple tests out of the way". She said to eat a banana a day, take a good magnesium supplement, and use Himalayan sea salt. Palpitations disappeared in 3 days. Then I purchased a Berkey Water System. My naturopath said to fill a water jug from the Berkey AND ADD a couple Himalayan salt crystals, not table salt, each time the jug was filled to get the minerals our bodies need.

I'm so thankful for the info about raisins for low blood pressure. I have used raisins to bring my BP up several times now. Low BP makes me feel horrible and half alive! Just eating the raisins (no soaking in water) has helped very quickly for me.

Raisins helped improve my low blood pressure:

I didn't realise that I had low blood pressure until my partner bought a blood pressure monitor so that he could keep an eye on his high blood pressure.

I was told that low blood pressure shouldn't be too much of a problem but it didn't take long to see a correlation between the times when I felt most tired and low energy, with the times when my pressure was lowest. I found a couple of sites on the internet which suggested soaking 30 raisins in about 1/2 cup of water overnight and then eating the raisins (chewing well) and drinking the water on an empty stomach first thing the morning. I did this three times during the course of one week and three months later my pressure has improved and I feel way more energetic.

I've had some super low blood pressure, so much I almost fainted. The thing that helped me the most was potassium-rich foods. Avocado and swiss chard are especially good for potassium! Also potato (with skin might be important, I'm not sure), acorn squash, bananas oranges. You can Google it. Any electrolytes wlil bring blood pressure up. For a while, I was carrying salt pills with me in case I needed one, but too much salt gets hard on my stomach. Potassium is wonderful for so many things in the body and it turns out most people are low in potassium.

Lemon

For low blood pressure, use 1 teaspoon of fresh squeezed lemon in a bottle of water, about 500ml once daily for 1 week.

Note: you will urinate a lot, so you need to replace fluids lost too. I use this remedy all the time, be cautious!!!!

Apple Cider Vinegar
Posted by Louise (Sandy, Utah, Usa) on 09/08/2012

To Nickie, Because the apple cider vinegar is hard for you to use for your arthritis, there is a greater way to get rid of your arthritis. The solution is in a book called "Arthritis and Common Sense" by Dale Alexander. Basically what you do is upon arising drink 2 glasses of warm water on an empty stomach. Ten minutes later take a cod liver oil shake. Get a small bottle with a lid, like a baby food jar. In it put 2 tablespoons of whole milk with 1 tablespoon cod liver oil. Or you can use fresh squeezed orange juice, strained without the pulp, instead of the milk, whichever you prefer. Fresh orange juice and milk both have oil in, which they need to have for this to work. Do not use canned, frozen or bottled orange juice. I used the fresh orange juice. Give it a good 20 or more shakes so it combines (emulsifies) really well. Drink the shake and wait 30 minutes before eating breakfast. At night four hours after your last meal, take another shake. You are supposed to do this for 6 months. This procedure sends the cod liver oil directly to your joints. I had such terrible arthritis, I couldn't lift my head off the bed and had to roll out of bed to get up. I did this regimen, but skipped the night time regimen and only did it in the morning for 5 months. I haven't had arthritis for about 15 years. Now I also try to make sure I get cod liver oil in my diet. But the shake sends it right to your joints. I found out about this procedure while reading an old "Fate" magazine. The story was written by a woman whose husband was so crippled with arthritis he couldn't even work. The couple had four little children and she was pregnant. They were really desperate and felt the situation was hopeless. She fasted and prayed one whole day asking God for help. The next day she felt a very strong feeling which led her to a public library five miles away. She said she didn't understand it but followed willingly. It led her down a certain aisle of books where one stuck out inches farther than its fellows, which were all pushed back neatly in a row. When she read the title of it, "Arthritis and Common Sense, " she said she knew this was the answer to her prayers. Her husband took the shakes and within 3 days he was back to work. Amazingly she was not far from where I live. I checked with our library system to try to find the book for myself and the only book available was from the very same library she went to, so it had to be the same book she checked out from many years earlier. I have my own book now and the copyright is 1984. Good luck and bless you. This is a wonderful cure.

Poor adrenal function is often a cause of low blood pressure. The book titled, Adrenal Fatigue, the 21st Century Stress Syndrome by James L. Wilson, www.adrenalfatigue.org explains the how's and why's and gives many natural suggestions as a way to nourish the adrenals back to health. The term is adrenal fatigue or hypoadrenia.

Vitamin C, E and B vitamins, magnesium citrate, calcium and trace minerals and fiber. The herbs licorice, Ashwaganda root, Korean/Panax ginseng for men, Siberian ginseng/ Eleutherococus senticosus for women, ginger root, and Ginko Biloba in tincture form are all beneficial to the adrenals. The last one is adrenal cell or cortical extracts in liquid or pill form. Blessings, Robin

I too have low blood pressure. My doctor told me that adding salt to a food will raise blood pressure. Anytime I feel dizzy, I eat something salty. It works, almost immediately. I use iodized salt. Though sea salt is much better for you, I am not sure it raises blood pressure.

This new 2024 study suggests a potential remedy for Hypotension which is where you have below normal blood pressure as discussed here :

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0002916524000194

Here is a relevant quote from the human trial :

' We found licorice to be more potent than previously known, with significant increases in BP, after a daily intake of only 100 mg GA. Thus, the safe limit of intake of this substance might need to be reconsidered. '

This may also be a potential consideration for orthostatic hypotension (OH) where blood pressure drops suddenly when standing from a seated or laying down position and dizziness often occurs or in severe cases, the person may pass out, but further study would be required to confirm that.

In the last few days I became very very weak--even talking made me tired, every day I felt close to fainting. Today my mom checked my pressure with her monitor--78/54. VERY LOW.

She gave me glass of water with half tsp of Himalayan salt and after an hour it was 124/76 and I felt great! So fast! BUT why did it drop so low!? (btw special thanks to Art Solbrig for pointing me to NAC as destroyer of biofilm in urinary catheter -- nothing to report yet--but I hope it will work).

Blackstrap Molasses
Posted by Lara (tacoma, wa) on 03/01/2022

I disagree with using molasses for low blood pressure. Molasses is high in potassium, and if anything, it lowers the blood pressure more. I started taking 2 tsp a day, and every day I took it, I had headache, brain fog, dizziness, and felt terrible. When I took my Blood pressure, it had lowered it more than normal. I think people with hypotension need to be aware of this and be cautious.

Hi

I am considering re-starting ACV just 2 days a week to begin with (after stopping if over a month ago) for my food allergies. I just read that ACV helps in reducing blood pressure. I normally have a low blood pressure. Is it ok to take ACV in that case or would it reduce my blood pressure even further? I have just had a stunt with brain fog and don't want to get into any other trouble again.

Denise, This is about your super low blood pressure.

On the positive side, I am happy for you and for your success with high potassium foods.

However, on the negative side, you are treating only your symptoms.

Step 1: Check yourself for symptoms of hypothyroidism.

Step 2: Get yourself checked for hypothyroidism. Ask for serum levels of FT3, FT4, and TSH. Why?

Because it is your thyroid gland that controls how fast (or slow) your heart is beating, and how high (or low) your blood pressure is. If your thyroid is underperforming, then you are hypothyroid.

Step 3: The value of your TSH is just a rough guide. For a far more accurate diagnosis, you need to do a bunch of basal temperature tests every morning for a few months.

Thank you all so much for this useful feedback. My BP is usually on the low side, 100/60 - probably due to adrenals. In warm weather, after sitting for an hour with coffee (my one a day)and a book, it's not unusual to start greying out when I stand up but a little salt will usually stop me being wobbly. Yesterday it was very warm and my BP was 85/52 which concerned the doctor who postponed my small surgical procedure. I was a bit puzzled too BUT I've been using ACV daily, probably 4-6 tablespoons, since January - 6 months. I've read lots about it on this site but hadn't tuned into the BP angle because it has been miraculous in helping with pain from arthritic hips so I shan't stop. I take it with apple juice and water and sip all day and strangely enough have had hardly any grey out episodes; maybe the sugar from apple juice helps. I do use Himlayan salt on food but will take in water henceforth and thanks to the gentleman who posted the advice on supporting adrenals. Love this site. It's my first stop if anything's wrong.

Methylene Blue
Posted by Marina (Miami Beach) on 08/14/2023

This is what I found, after 2 drops of MB under my tongue increased my BP from 100/44 to 136/85 almost immediately. It was an incidental discovery.

"The suspected mechanism of action of methylene blue is inhibition of the enzyme nitric oxide synthase, which ultimately prevents the smooth muscle dilation that accompanies anaphylaxis. Methylene blue may be a valuable adjunct in the treatment of anaphylaxis and other causes of refractory hypotension.'

The data suggested that in human septic shock, methylene blue increases mean arterial blood pressure through an increase in cardiac index and systemic vascular resistance.

Methylene Blue for Distributive Shock: A Potential New Use of an Old Antidote https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3770994/#:~:text=The data suggested that in, systemic vascular resistance [85].

Shock is often a syndrome caused by a systemic derangement of perfusion leading to widespread cellular hypoxia and organ dysfunction. These include cardiogenic (e.g., heart failure), obstructive (e.g., tension pneumothorax), and distributive shock. Distributive shock is characterized by loss of vasomotor tone or an overall decrease in systematic vascular resistance, and is often accompanied by an increase in cardiac output. Sepsis and anaphylaxis are the two most common etiologies of distributive shock. Also, drug-induced shock from certain medications such as calcium channel blockers may have a distributive component as well.

I used Compasslaboratory MB 0.5% solution.

Marina,

By the same token, people with hypertension or pulmonary hypertension should monitor their blood pressure frequently if using or testing methylene blue because of its hypertensive effects.

BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS

I've been taking ACV (just a supermarket brand but it's organic) since August. I take two teaspoonfulls in a glass of water and sip it throughout the day.

It was brilliant at first. I had so much energy I could take on the world! However, I'm finding now that even if I just have a small mouthful, I'm getting dizzy. What could be the cause of this do you think? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I've had to stop taking the ACV and I do miss the energy so...

Art,

Thank you for looking at this article with me. I appreciate your wisdom.

Yes, I noticed that they stated that, Glutamine, "promotes cardiovascular health by serving as an L-Arginine precursor to optimize nitric oxide ".

Many have said that Arginine lowered their High blood pressure. I was wondering that if the Glutamine somehow "fixes blood pressure" to stay in a safe zone.

As far as how low my blood pressure dips, I have noticed that it really depends on what, and how healthy I ate that day and night before I went to bed. If my blood pressure is normal before I go to bed, I have to skip my circulation supplements, or they will drop my pressure to the forbidden zone.

When I do take supplements for blood circulation, (Pine Bark, Co Q10 and Ala), I have to give them a few minutes and check my pressure before I stand up. Glutamine is giving me a satisfactory rate for now, I will watch and see if it really is what is keeping me in the safe zone, if not, I will go back to what I was using before.

Thanks again, "I will let you know how it goes."

I'm sorry that the glutamine did not work out as you had hoped.

If Rob's remedy is working, then you still have a remedy for your hypotension and that is a good thing!

Can you tell me about your experience with the licorice extract for hypotension?

Hi HisJewel,

It sounds like for now, you will have to use a little less of either remedy and take it less often to prevent excessive pressure levels, until you can find a better option.

Dehydration can contribute to hypotension so staying hydrated may help.

Some people with orthostatic hypotension have vitamin B12 deficiency and it might be worth having your doctor test your B12 level. Not everyone responds to oral sublingual B12, but it might be worth a try.

My MD is suggested drink sea salt in water daily. The raisin cure is interesting because raisons have iron. There may other reasons than the obvious ones for low blood pressure, low aldosterone hormone, endocrine issues, allergic reaction, sepsis. Also low B-12 could be the cause. My MD said some people need way more B-12 than others even beyond the standard range. I'm on B-12 shots and folate. Check ferritin levels. Folic acid and iron just because your in the range doesn't mean you're not deficient. Also getting a iron binding capacity test is reasonable.

Greetings Art,

Regarding: Glutamine for Blood Pressure Regulation

When you get some spare time please report back what you think on this PubMed article.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6769761/

I have been using Rob's Baking Soda and Sea Salt mouthwash to help my blood pressure when it drops. However, I believe I found something to stabilize my blood pressure, "L Glutamine"

My blood pressure when I wake up is sometimes is quite low, very low. I was satisfied using the mouthwash and sometimes licorice extract to help raise it up. However, I stumbled upon the Glutamine.

Some time ago my daughter had bought a jar of Glutamine powder and never opened it. I stated using it so it would not go to waste. I noticed that my blood pressure remained in a safe zone while on it. I usually take half a scoop that about 2000mg in half glass of water, morning and evening, after a meal.

I do think this article confirms that Glutamine can regulate blood pressure for some people but to not over-do it. Anyway, I had trouble focusing on the information, so please let me know what you think.

Posted by Art (California) on 04/14/2025 2470 posts

Hi HisJewel,

All studies I have read regarding glutamine suggest that it can lower high blood pressure with no mention of being able to elevate hypotension. The link you posted is similar to the other studies in this sense, mentioning the potential to decrease hypertension, but not mentioning the potential to increase hypotension blood pressure levels.

If you are correct in your idea that glutamine can raise low blood pressure levels, you may have a new use for glutamine!

As far as how it works, it may be through another mechanism of action than the mechanisms described in your link such as increased NO production which would certainly cause further decreased blood pressure.

ChatGPT says that hypotension is associated with gut dysbiosis. Glutamine at appropriate dosing is noted for improving the gut microbiome, offering another potential way that glutamine may be improving your hypotension.

The link you supplied also mentioned that glutamine can have other positive cardiovascular effects, but also mentioned that in some people it can have negative cardiovascular effects. Here are two relevant quotes from your link :

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6769761/

' Moreover, emerging data indicates that Gln elicits both beneficial and detrimental effects on cardiovascular health. '

' Importantly, Gln alleviates many known risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as dyslipidemia, glucose intolerance, insulin resistance, hypertension, and obesity. However, the rewiring of Gln metabolism can also promote the development of cardiovascular disease by fueling the Krebs cycle and stimulating the unrestrained growth and migration of vascular cells and the deposition of extracellular matrix. '

So the above quotes should play a role in deciding whether glutamine is the right way to try and control hypotension for everyone. I imagine the effective dose being used would also play into that equation.

Since you also use the Licorice Extract, can you give any feedback on how effective it is for your hypotension and what dose you are using and how often?

Please keep us posted on how the glutamine works out for you!

Hi. No, I would take it separately. Also read up on what happens to you if you take too much iodine (runny nose, pain in eyeballs, grave's disease, etc etc). Another thought I had is that apple cider vinegar might also be lowering your blood sugar levels so that you are experiencing hypoglycemia. Make sure to eat before you take the apple cider vinegar. That may help!

Hi Art,

Reporting back to you with my Glutamine experience.

"The Glutamine did Not raise my blood pressure."

Without the lemon tonic, it lowered it.

I thought the glutamine alone was regulating it, so that it would not drop to low. It seemed to be the reason why I stayed in a good zone. Then I ran out of my lemon, garlic and honey concoction, I tried it in equal amounts inspired by Rob's heart tonic, which I was taking to stop a cold in its tracks, and it did.

About the third day after I ran out of the lemon garlic mix, my blood pressure went back to being too low in the morning, like 89/44. That's really now too bad, it used to drop lower.

So this morning, I made another batch of even amounts of lemon and garlic juice with just a spoon of honey this morning, I will see if this gets me back in good blood pressure rate.

Me again Art,

Licorice, like the Saltwater mouth wash, will bring my blood pressure up to par, but then, my blood pressure gets higher and higher. With daily intake my blood pressure began to stay headache high until I stop using the licorice or saltwater mouth for a while. So it becomes a cycle, my pressure gives me sudden high blood pressure or sudden dizzy low blood pressure.

it would be wonderful if some thing can heal the blood vessels or whatever so that the blood pressure would automatically regulate to a healthy number after meals or stress automatically.

B12 blood test is useless, yet doctors keep ordering it.

A Methylmalonic Acid (MMA) test is a blood (urine) test that measures the amount of MMA in the blood. MMA is produced when the body digests protein, and it can be used as an indicator of vitamin B12 deficiency. Elevated MMA levels often indicate a low level of B12 in the body.
