You can almost rest assured that if medical science has treatments for any human problem, there will also be alternative medicine choices. People have suffered with all of the same maladies over the centuries that we suffer from today. They didn’t have a handy corner pharmacy, so they went to nature and their own inventiveness looking for cures. They developed techniques that would relieve human pain and found natural herbs that would relieve make them feel better.
High blood pressure, or hypertension, has been a human problem for centuries, and medical science learned to measure human blood pressure about a century and a half ago.
Acupuncture and acupressure have both been used very successfully to lower blood pressure readings. When needles are inserted into the wrist, forearm, or leg, or when pressure is applied, opioid chemicals in the brain that reduce responses in the cardiovascular system are released. This causes a decrease in heart activity and the need for oxygen, which can lower blood pressure.
Garlic, onions, carrots, and celery are known to reduce blood pressure. Garlic is the best known of the group, and garlic pills and capsules can be purchased at health food stores that are just as effective at reducing blood pressure as eating fresh garlic.
Calcium, vitamin C, Q10, and flaxseed meal are all known to help reduce blood pressure, as well. Hawthorn and Ginkgo Biloba have also proven helpful in lowering blood pressure.
Chiropractors can lower your readings through skeletal manipulation.
There are many alternatives for controlling hypertension other than the synthetic drugs that are prescribed by medical doctors. The most important thing to remember is that high blood pressure can cause all kinds of very nasty things (heart attack, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, etc.). Have it checked on a regular basis and keep it under control.
