Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Thanks SO much! As a matter of fact, I drink a LOT of water! I drink a minimum of 5 20 ounce bottles every day. That is not because I just DO, but because I am ALWAYS thirsty. Doctors tested my thyroid. No problem. Sigh. I can't win these days. I watch my sodium intake very carefully. Not just table salt, but on all packaged food as well. So far nothing has worked except as a temporary placebo. Thanks for the suggestions! I will definitely try them!

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Becca, Here are some nutrient remedies I found on the web. The one that I have heard about in more than one place is magnesium. Since a lot of the food you can buy in the market is devoid of nutrients, you might have to use supplements. calcium Increasing calcium intake appears to possess a greater blood pressure-lowering effect in hypertensive than normotensive individuals. Scientists are attempting to isolate the mechanism by which calcium appears to lowers blood pressure. Studies have shown that calcium may also reduce the risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension and preeclampsia. Leading Food Sources of calcium: Broccoli, Bok choy, Milk, Amaranth, Salmon, Kale, Beans, dried, Cheese, fresh, Tofu, Soybeans, Yogurt flaxseed oil Flaxseed oil may help protect against high blood pressure by inhibiting inflammatory reactions that cause artery-hardening plaque and poor circulation. Leading Food Sources of flaxseed oil: Oil, flaxseed garlic Several large double-blind clinical studies demonstrate that garlic significantly lowers blood pressure in people with hypertension. Leading Food Sources of garlic: Garlic magnesium Foods high in magnesium may help to lower blood pressure. Magnesium plays a part in reducing elevated blood pressure by relaxing the muscles that control blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more freely. Leading Food Sources of magnesium: Spinach, Avocados, Chocolate, Pumpkin seeds, Oysters, Sunflower seeds, Brazil nuts, Amaranth, Buckwheat, Almonds, Quinoa, Barley omega-3 fatty acids Researchers theorize that omega-3 fatty acids foster good circulation due in part to their alpha-linolenic acid content. The presence of omega-3 fatty acids makes blood platelets less likely to clump together and form clots that lead to heart attacks. Leading Food Sources of omega-3 fatty acids: Salmon, Trout, Tuna potassium Potassium is an important dietary electrolyte that helps maintain blood pressure levels. Studies indicate that people who consume optimal amounts of foods high in potassium generally have lower blood pressure than those whose potassium intake is low. Leading Food Sources of potassium: Beets, Bok choy, Apricots, Pomegranates, Chocolate, Beans, dried, Clams, Oranges, Water chestnuts, Tomatoes, Potatoes, Quinoa, Cantaloupe, Bananas, Figs, Avocados, Yogurt, Broccoli, Brussels sprouts vitamin C Vitamin C may widen blood vessels, thus helping to lower blood pressure. Scientists speculate that constricted arteries may be partly caused by the type of cell damage that vitamin C corrects. Leading Food Sources of vitamin C: Cabbage, red, Peppers, bell, red, Tangerines & other mandarins, Oranges, Kiwi fruit, Strawberries, Potatoes <<Message: 16 Sun, 14 Aug 2005 22:39:29 -0000 " Rebecca " <alamom345 Blood pressure I am new to this group. I was given a link to come here from my unschooling group when I asked this question. I had a stillborn baby in April, but since her birth I have had VERY high blood pressure. I have gone to doctors, ER, etc, but I am not being taken seriously, and I am not sure why. Other than I am in Dallas, TX and no one seems to care about the " poor " people here. There is no recourse for those of us with no insurance here. Not that I have found anyway, that doesn't take HOURS of waiting in an ER and then being told to go on home because it isn't high. Sigh. Ok, so my question is, besides watching salt intake, is there any kind of homeopathic or herbal pill/supplement, etc that I can take that will lower my BP naturally? It goes down for hours at a time, but it ALWAYS goes back up. It was 193 over 121 just a few hours ago, and now it is 161 over 109. Still VERY high. If I were pregnant I would be admitted to a hospital. Grr. But since I am not, it appears no one but me cares whether or not I have a stroke. Can anyone help? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 I take all 3 of these regularly. I also drink over 1/2 my weight in oz's of distilled water daily & take Celtic sea salt for minerals. Very little caffeine, even though cardiologist wants me to drink more to get heart rate up. [lowest resting rate has been 34 & normally around 52] I had to stop exercising for over a year due to bad back problems. Just prior to stopping exercise I was going through cardiac re-hab with supervised exercising for over a year. I have bradycardia [low heart rate], and am 60 lbs. overweight. Yet my blood pressure has always been in 117-122 over 66-72 range. In the past 9 months it has been slowly climbing. It's nothing to my doc because it is " only " 133-138 over 80-90 average. I know that is not considered high - yet...borderline stinks imo & I can't figure out why it is creeping up! Could lack of exercise have that much effect? I have also lost 15 pounds S L O W L Y during this period. I was also told that increasing B6 is good for lowering BP as well as eating lots of celery [5-6 stalks daily], which I tried. Haven't seen much difference. I'll be watching for any further advice that might do the trick!

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Lack of exercise may actually have that great of an effect. Because of your back I would try walking. Start off slowly and for as long as you can walk a few times a week. Don't push it. Your strength will build up over time. You may want to check into some back stretching exercises that can be very beneficial. When I was young I was hit by a drunk driver and suffered spinal truama the had me temporarily paralyzed. When I was able I found the back stretching exercises to be very helpful in pain mangament and in strengthening my back. hugs, Laurareiki3gal <myrna1947 wrote: I had to stop exercising for over a year due to bad back problems.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Judith, There is an excellent article on blood pressure on the website of Dr. Ben Kim. I tiny-urled it for you. http://tinyurl.com/4hdrqd Perhaps you can read it first, and get an idea of WHY your blood pressure is high. Potentially helpful herbs are Dandelion, bless its ubiquitous heart, and hawthorn. I can't imagine anyone suffering any harm from taking Dandelion, but read this article first, please.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I've had high bp off and on for a couple of years. At first I got it back to normal by exercizing. Then that stopped working. Recently went through a battery of tests - by BP was 194/90 (!!) -- the doc put me on Benicar and it has done miracles for me - with no side effect. High BP is genetic. And there are scads of different BP meds if the one you're on doesn't work (Benicar is not one of the diuretics). If exercising doesn't help, and meditation, and you BP is really high, try a BP med -- not good to have your BP high for a long time - hard on the circulatory system.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hi Judith, You might want to take Magnesium and other mineral supplements. PLEASE read the following book " The Magnesium Factor " by Mildred S Seelig MD. Many folks are deficient in Magnesium and their potassium, sodium and calcium are all out of balance. Dr Seelig explains it better than I ever could. Her book is easy to read and back with years of research. A very natural solution. Hope this helps. It's the way I've choosen and most of my family has high blood pressure but not me (and I take magnesium).

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I use a blend of carrot, neroli and rose oils for blood pressure. It usually brings the levels down in 10 - 15 minutes.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hi Irene, According to my medical doctor, you start drinking more water. First thing is half a liter when you get out of bed in the morning. And next 2 to 5 grams of vitamin C each day. That helps to clean the veins. Ole, Denmark - Irene Monday, May 18, 2009 4:49 PM Blood pressure I was horrified to finally check my blood pressure and find it elevated to 197/82 yesterday. I am 81 and I know that I am too sedentary and that I must get off my butt and get more exercise. My diet is exceedingly good and I only weigh 95 lbs so that is not an issue. I don't want to take medication but those numbers are bad and other than more exercise is there anything else I should do to try to get the numbers down? I would appreciate suggestions.Irene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 My mother is 88 and when I took her off of her HBP drugs (cozaar and coreg) due to side effects, her BP went up to like 160/90. So I took her to a natural pathic doctor and he gave us RAUWOLFIA EXTRA by VITANICA. It has other stuff in it but the RAUWOLFIA (snake root) is what supposedly keeps the BP lower. She's got to take a capsule 3 times per day so that her BP is reduced to readings like 123/80. My mom doesn't seem to be having any side effects that I have noticed and she's been taking the product for a month now. What bugged me is that the ND didn't even know how the snake root worked to bring the BP down.
