Signs and Symptoms of High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure (also referred to as hypertension) is often called the "silent killer" since it is one of the leading risk factors associated with heart attacks, stroke, and kidney failure but it has no clearly identifiable symptoms. Since it is estimated that one in three adults in the USA suffer from high blood pressure, it is extremely important to get your blood pressure checked regularly by your doctor.Although medication is often prescribed for serious cases of high blood pressure, most instances of the condition can easily be treated using a variety of everyday natural foods and simple lifestyle changes.
Causes of High Blood Pressure
While there is no single exact cause of high blood pressure or hypertension, a few risk factors have been recognized:- A regularly high intake of salt (exceeding 6 grams per day).
- Excessively drinking alcohol (more than 2 drinks per day).
- Regularly consuming large amounts of caffeine.
- Obesity, since the heart has to pump more blood to supply the excess tissue.
- Lack of aerobic exercise (such as walking, jogging, biking, or swimming).
- Stress.
- Hereditary (genetic) predisposition (for example, African Americans are more often susceptible to high blood pressure than Caucasians or Asians).
Home Remedies and Natural Cures for High Blood Pressure Treatment
High Blood Pressure Home Remedy Using Celery
Research has shown that munching on celery can help to lower blood pressure.
It turns out that compounds found in the oil of celery can relax and dilate the muscles that line the arteries,
which helps to regulate blood pressure. Therefore, simply eating a few stalks of celery per day as
a simple snack at lunch can help significantly.
Using Garlic as a Natural Cure for High Blood Pressure
Garlic has also been known to help reduce high blood pressure. Although the exact reasons are still not clear,
studies have shown that eating just a single clove a day (either raw or cooked) has a beneficial effect. An added
bonus for eating garlic is that it is also known to reduce cholesterol. Therefore, regularly consuming
garlic, either fresh or in capsule form, is a great way to reduce your risk of heart disease.
Natural Remedy for High Blood Pressure Using Potassium
Studies have shown that consuming potassium-rich foods can help to lower blood pressure. Good sources
of potassium include bananas, oranges, spinach, and zucchini.
NOTE: If you are being treated for kidney failure, potassium rich foods can actually be harmful to you. Therefore, if this applies to you, consult your doctor first before trying this home remedy.

Home Remedy for High Blood Pressure Using Black Seed Oil
Black seed oil contains a number of active ingredients that have been shown to help reduce cholesterol and control high blood pressure.
Therefore, to reduce excess blood pressure simply take one teaspoon of Black Seed oil daily.
Black Seed Oil can also be mixed into juice or tea if you don't like the taste of the raw oil.
High Blood Pressure Home Remedy Using Ginkgo Biloba
Ginkgo Biloba is an herb which helps increase blood circulation in our bodies by dilating our blood vessels.
Therefore, a simple remedy to lower blood pressure is to take 120mg of Ginkgo Biloba extract daily before any meal.

I am 84 years of age. I have hbp for about 30 years, but
now it is increasing. I have diabetes type 2 for 6 years.
My doctor has tried all kinds of medicines but they have
severe side effects. I do not drink nor smoke. I don't
drink tea or soda. I work out at gym for one hour every
day. My weight is idle. The problem I have now is severe
ringing in head and ears which keep me awake, so I can not
sleep as I used to sleep. My salt intake is very little.
I do not each much meat or chicken, just vegetables and
occasionally pulses. Please help me. Thank you very much.

For my high blood pressure or hypertension, as well as celery, I eat Japanese/Chinese Shitake Mushrooms (pronounced "Sher-tarky.") They are delicious cooked in a meal or soup and seem to lower my BP quite quickly. You can also get Shitake capsules at some chemists and nutrient stores, but I haven't tried those yet. Avoid flavouring with common salt: instead use potassium-based salt substitute or low-salt soy sauce.

To Anonymous, It's perfectly fine to start taking Apple cider Vinegar when you are on BP medication. It's an organic vinegar! I think it'd be q good idea to keep an eye on your BP levels when taking ACV regularly because you want to keep it at normal level. In case it goes down too much!

Recently i had just taking HBP medicine which given by my doctor and just feeling release after choosing the medical way instead of a natural remedy. At the beginning i was suffered to the headache and dizziness,trying to find out any traditional or natural solution to reduce my BP because of unwilling to have the BP medicine for whole life once you started to take it.But it still cant make my BP stable and reduced to a standard level.I had found a lot of information and studies on it and finally i come out a conclusion for some natural remedies for example having a clove of garlic,apple cider vinegar with honey and water,cayenne pepper on food/tea,a bar of dark chocolate,green tea,banana/orange,celery/carrot juice,less salt more exercise.Although i have just started taking the BP medicine,but i still will trying my best to find out any possible way which is natural and less side effect remedies.Anywhere i m just 21 years old...Just giving a Big Cheer for those who suffer the same problem as me^^ Don't stress it,if can just take a long break or holiday,why not!

It is true that the active ingrdient in garlic is allicin and that you cannot and WILL not get the same results using garlic capsules. Garlic capsules are better than no garlic but if you really want results you must use fresh crushed or squeezed garlic for medicinal purposes.Fresh is always better when speaking of natural healing. Dried herbs are good for tea infusions, decoctions, and tinctures when fresh is not available. You can actually stor fresh peeled garlic in a pickling liquid so that you have it on hand.

I crush one garlic clove into a small glass of tomatoe juice add 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper and chug it down. It will lower blood pressure in 6 days if you use cayenne with it, 6 weeks with no cayenne. I actually take this 3 times a day from time to time if I am waking up with BP headaches. Cayenne pepper is a powerful healer and helps all other herbs work much more quickly. In 3 days using this 3X first day and 2X daily after I lowered my BP from 168/102 to 134/84 and headaches were gone. I also use this in chicken bouillon, just add garlic & cayenne. This helps BP, Diabetes, Colds, and in general is just a good tonic for your body.

I had high blood pressure & could feel the strain on my body & the deadly fatigue. I googled natural remedies and found continuously: apples, bananas, green tea & more importantly apple cider vinegar ACV. The first night I read about those- I was suffering from a high blood pressure HBP- headache for two weeks. I looked in my kitchen and I had a banana, apple and green tea-each of which I ate & drank. Within twenty minutes the HBP headache was gone! The next day I went out to buy apple cider vinegar and have been drinking a tablespoon or so-in a half cup of water every day. Not only did my blood pressure & headaches go away but I also lost 15 pounds! I learned later that ACV is good for weight loss. oh yes, I also started walking more & have had more energy with all my new found remedies & light exersize.

I take medication daily( atenol,frusimide,enlarparil, nefedipine) and it has since controlled my High Blood Pressure. At one stage my pressure was unreaderable because it was too high but with the right combination of medication it is normal now. Doctor says it is for life and I accepted it. May try some natural remedy to go with it. What do you think?

Allicin the ingredient in garlic which helps to fight hypertension is destroyed within one hour of crushing the garlic. So your garlic needs to be fresh and raw. Capsules will do you no good at all. Recommended dosage is two cloves per day.
