Natural Remedy For High Blood Pressure: 4 Ways To Lower Blood Pressure Without Drugs

To find a natural remedy for High Blood Pressure is on the minds of a lot of hypertension sufferers

. A drug free approach is achievable for thousands who are currently taking medication.

The obvious natural remedy for high blood pressure is a change in diet along with exercise.

Let me introduce you to 4 other that you may not yet have considered because they are less obvious.

Transcendental Meditation

A simple natural technique, TM is practiced for 15-20 minutes twice each day in a comfortable seated position with eyes closed.

TM achieves a state of restful alertness that is quite unique. This state reduces activation of the sympathetic nervous system, which leads to dilation of blood vessels and a reduction of stress hormones such as cortisol, adrenaline and noradrenaline.

Acupuncture

The ancient Chinese technique of acupuncture is where a licensed practitioner inserts needles into the body at certain points where there are invisible energy lines connecting the body's energy system or qi, to restore balance. The belief is that an imbalance of the body's qi is the cause of disease.

In Germany in 2007 Flachskampf FA, Gallasch J, Gefeller O, et al. conducted a clinical trial and found that acupuncture can significantly reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings.

You would expect to get these kinds of results with substantial lifestyle changes and single drug therapy.

If acupuncture treatment is stopped, blood pressure was found to return to original values within 3 months.

Do some background checks before you decide on an acupuncturist. To achieve these results requires an expert practitioner.

Biofeedback

With the help of a therapist, this technique teaches you to learn to control processes in your body such as blood pressure, which are generally thought to be involuntary.

A study conducted at the University of Nevada recently showed a significant lowering of blood pressure (as much as 10 points) using biofeedback.

Those who gained the most benefit from this technique were people prone to negative and quick reactions to stressful situations.

Yoga

Yoga is a mind and body approach to health and each pose is executed slowly and deliberately with balance and concentration.

It has been most effective in lowering blood pressure related to stress, strain and emotional disturbance.

My interest in this topic stems from a family history of high blood pressure. I've lost my father and grandmother to the disease, and my sister and mother are both on anti-hypertensive medication. Getting informed about natural remedies for high blood pressure and applying the things they've learned has enabled them to lower blood pressure and reduce medication.
