Lemon Juice
table spoon of Lemon Juice in water once or twice a day. Acidity brings down BP quite well. Always brush after you have it though as it can cause tooth decay.

yes, especially a sativa....
I have extremely high blood pressure (around 160/100 with pulse 101) and my doctor is on my case to go on chronic medication. It developed when I was expecting my son. However, after he was born I started using Pressure Eeze Forte (homeopathic medicine) (available at dischem pharmacies) and it brought it right down to normal in a couple of weeks (if not sooner). I subsequently stopped it and am right back where I was. Will get it again soon.
How would plain water do that, if not via the placebo effect?
Thats what every single homeopathic remedy is - plain water. Read up on it.

Still don't get your guys "plain water" theory.
Edit to add: Okay, I am still reading the article and am starting to understand what you mean (although not agreeing with the article). But I KNOW that Pressure Eeze Forte worked like a charm and I prefer homeopathic medication.

Do you know what it contains, Cheri ?
I am going to assume you mean the tablets? Yes, it has Rauwolfia serpentina in it.

LOL! Sounds dangerous
The doctor prescribed medicine, but we'd like to investigate the herbal alternatives.
Thanks for the help.

ja, don't mess around. Hypertension medications are widely used and generally very safe. Don't gamble with this herbal stuff. You know what they say about herbal medicines that work? They get turned into pharmaceuticals. The stuff that is left... well you go figure.
Also, even for those herbal medicines that are known to have effects (St John's Wart for example) are very dangerous because of their interactions with other drugs.

That is exactly what I was worried about ... if you take the herbal medicine and the western medicine, they may not 'mix' well ... and if you only take the herbal medicine, what if it does not work and the hypertension spins out of control and something bad happens (i.e. heart attack, etc) ??
I don't see where it's described as homeopathic. Homeopathic remedies are water only (or a base tablet daubed with water).
I think you're thinking of herbal remedies...which are generally based on anecdotal evidence, poorly tested for efficacy or safety, and not approved as medication.
