As an herbalist I have recommended Hawthorn Blend with positive results to 8 different people. All 8 had a drop in their blood pressure after using a tincture (30 drops AM, and PM) for about 2 weeks. I would recommend anybody with blood pressure issues to research this herb. It also corrects low blood pressure.

What dose has been effective for the 8 people you speak of? My husband has been taking Hawthorne for over a year, 3x/day and was just at the Dr where his B/P was 180/100!!!

To Monica of New Jersey - the first essential is to get your own blood pressure monitor: readings taken in a dr's surgery are bound to be higher than those taken while resting quietly at home - apprehension alone will send them up (there must be countless thousands needlessly on medication from that cause alone).

And your husband should try more remedies than just the hawthorn - Apple Cider Vinegar for example: there are so many on this site, and when they are natural there is no need to confine yourselves to just one. My own miracle supplement for bp is niacin (vitamin B3), though no one should take this without first reading about the famous NIACIN FLUSH - extremely alarming when first encountered, though harmless and of short duration. I empty a 500 mg capsule into a cup and scoop up the powder with sliced grapes, bananas etc - in that way you can start slow, the flush is less of a shock to the system and you are not ingesting the capsule. Do report back!

180 / 100 is out of line. I use Hawthorn leaves and flowers extract - 2 capsules/ Check blood pressure, if not down two more capsules. Try cutting salt extensively and add garlic powder to anything you can stand to eat it in. I had similar blood pressure issue now at rest is normally around 117 / 55 good luck
