Remove your cause of mental tension or stress or worries. If the reason is your office, discuss the problem with your colleagues and seniors. Don't keep the problem with you. Mental tensions can often be reduced by a brisk walk, laugh loudly and relaxation or meditation. In fact, if you daily practice meditation, you can control your blood pressure for ever.\nMaintain your weight. Exercise more often.

If you are interested in a 100% natural whole food approach, I highly recommend ViaViente.  High blood pressure runs in my husband's family.  He tried dietary changes, high-cardio workouts, but nothing seemed to work.  He was getting prescribed medications but it didn't sit well with him that he is only 38 and would have to take hi BP meds.  So, his personal trainer/nutritionist and wife (who is a doctor), turned him on to ViaViente (which they recommend to all their clients/patients who are interested in natural approaches to combat nearly any health ailment imaginable).  After 3 weeks, his blood pressure went from 140+ to 117.  It has been 3 months now and it is at a stable 110.\n\nI know a network of trainers, nutritionists, doctors, physical therapists and herbalists who highly recommend this product.  It has also helped me with my lifelong allergy problem (I no longer take any meds) and my kids have not had a drop of Motrin or Tylenol since they've been drinking this juice (I used to feel like I was drugging my kids because they used to get sick so often).  My family loves it and we highly recommend it for preventative health, maintenance...your body just operates at an optimal level with ViaViente added to your diet.  4 ounces a day is equivalent to 20 servings of fruits and vegetables.\n\nYou are welcome to contact me directly and I can answer additional questions you may have.  I did quite a bit of research on the product and it's nearest competitors.

You might try cooking with olive or grapeseed oil. Those oils are known to raise the good cholesterol and reduce the bad. Another trick is to take Niacin (the type that makes you flush. Some even claim garlic can help.

Lose Weight\n\nPeople who are overweight are 2 to 6 times more likely to develop high blood pressure, and the heavier you are, the worse your blood pressure is likely to be, so the most important high blood pressure treatment you can practice is to maintain the ideal weight for your body.\n\nTomato\n\nA diet rich with tomatoes is an excellent high blood pressure treatment because tomatoes contain high amounts of gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA), which can help reduce blood pressure. In addition, tomatoes also contain six other ingredients that have the same effect.\n\nCalcium\n\nTo significantly reduce high blood pressure, take 1000 mg of calcium per day.\n\nSalt\n\nA very simple high blood pressure treatment consists of just reducing your intake of sodium, try to stay under 2400 mg per day. Sodium causes your body to retain water, and this in turn increases your blood volume, therefore raising blood pressure.\n\nAlso, add salt at the table instead of cooking with salt. When cooking, foods absorb a lot of salt, which reduces the flavor of the food, which leads to the need to add additional salt at the table to remedy the blandness.\n\nCelery\n\nStudies have shown that celery is an effective high blood pressure treatment, and that eating as few as 5 celery stalks per day can lower blood pressure.\n\nPotassium\n\nThe more potassium you take, the more your sodium levels decline, which of course results in a reduction of blood pressure. Take the recommended dosage of 3500 mg per day.\n\nCalcium And Magnesium\n\nAlthough neither of these are a high blood pressure treatment, your blood pressure may begin to rise when you have a calcium and magnesium deficiency. Try to get about 1000 mg of calcium per day and about 400 mg of magnesium per day.\n\nBroccoli\n\nBroccoli contains six different chemicals that can help to reduce high blood pressure.\n\nCarrots\n\nCarrots contains eight different chemicals that can help to reduce high blood pressure.\n\nGarlic\n\nGarlic is known to be a very good high blood pressure treatment. Add minced garlic cloves to your food whenever possible, or alternatively, you can take 600 mg garlic oil capsules 5 times per day. Look for capsules that provide 8,000 micrograms of allicin potential daily.\n\nExercise\n\nStudies show that exercising 30 minutes per day, 3 to 5 times per week, can lower blood pressure by 5 to 10 percent.\n\nReishi\n\nReishi is a proven high blood pressure treatment. Take in capsule form, 3,000 mg per day.\n\nHawthorn\n\nTake about 1 pound of hawthorn berries and remove the seeds. Soak the berries overnight in about 2 1/2 quarts of water. The next day, bring the mixture to a boil for about 10 minutes. Let it cool, strain, and drink 2 to 3 cups per day.\n\nThis herbal high blood pressure treatment can also be taken as a tea. Mix 1 teaspoon of dried hawthorn with 1 cup of boiling water. Strain and drink 2 cups per day.\n\nAnd, as an alternative, you can also take hawthorn in capsule form. Take two 500 mg capsules or 1 teaspoon of tincture 3 times per day.\n\nCoenzyme Q10\n\nCoenzyme Q10 is known to enhance energy to the heart muscles, helping them to pump blood more efficently. This results in lower blood pressure.\n\nSmoking\n\nEvery time you light one up, your blood pressure rises significantly and stays high for a couple of hours.\n\nMeadowsweet\n\nMeadowsweet is very high in iron and magnesium, making it a good high blood pressure treatment as well as being beneficial for all blood disorders. Mix 2 tablespoons of meadowsweet into 1 1/2 cups of boiling water. Let the mixture stand for about 10 minutes. Strain and drink 3 times per day.\n\nLemon\n\nSqueeze the juice from 1 lemon into a glass of warm water. Add 1 tablespoon of honey, mix and drink daily.\n\nSaffron\n\nThis herbal high blood pressure treatment may be expensive, but it is known to be very effective in lowering blood pressure because it contains the chemical called crocetin. Use saffron while cooking or use it as a tea.\n\n

Do a search for the DASH diet. It's been shown to help decrease hypertension (high blood pressure). There are several low sodium meal suggestions in there (I think 2 weeks' worth).

I  use apple cider vinegar. While the vinegar is an acid, it moves the body over to an alkaline position, and thus should lower p.h.\nIt is also reportedly excellent for cleaning out our arteries. Don't know about that one yet, but it seems (along with some other things I am doing) to be lowering my blood pressure. It is also supposedly good for losing weight, and is a good all-around tonic. I take a teaspoon two or three times daily in a little juice glass of grape or apple juice.

I would start with diet. Lifestyle issues you can control to lower your risk of developing high blood pressure include obesity and not being active or exercising, drinking alcohol (three drinks a day or more), eating a lot of salty or processed foods, and not getting enough calcium, magnesium, and potassium in your diet. Do you take a supplement like Centrum? Look into the DASH diet. Dietary approaches to stopping hypertension. www.nhlbi.nih.gov try this, and enter DASH into search. Maintain a healthy weight.\nGet regular exercise. Avoid using too much sodium. Get enough potassium, calcium, and magnesium in your diet. Add fiber to your diet. Limit alcohol use. Stop smoking. Use anti-inflammatory medications wisely. Learn to check your blood pressure at home. Reduce stress.

I can't imagine that there is a way to lower it overnight, but I can make a suggestion that has lowered my husband's blood pressure within 3 weeks and maintains it.\n\nIn the same way, my husband tried dietary changes and cardio workouts, but nothing worked until he added ViaViente to his diet.  It is a 100% natural, whole food juice.  After 3 weeks, he went from 140+ to 117.  After 3 months, he is at a stable 110.  He does not take any medications and no dietary supplements.  He swears by ViaViente.  I can only recommend it and hopefully your husband may want to give it a try because it's a natural way to keep his body operating at optimal levels.

THE NATURAL way (unlike the previous respondant's answer) is regular exercise. I know I won't get the #1 response for this cuz it requires effort, but it does work to an extent. This is the best natural way to do it, however, supplements help. Exercise regulates loads of things (estrogen, cholesterol, blood pressure, etc.).

Good suggestions here already, but perhaps I could add:\n\nHerbs:  passionflower, hops, camomile, baical skullcap, oatstraw, motherwort.  This last plant is known for its nurturing effect, although in Florida might be hard to find.  Its Latin name is leonurus cardiaca, so its slight beneficial effect on blood pressure and on heart palpitations has been known since ancient times.\n\nI'll add valerian with a special note:  it's generally used for insomnia or anxiety, but it has a counter-effect with a small minority of people - it speeds them up instead of calming them.  So if you try valerian I'd try it alone, not in any combination, so you can determine whether you belong to the majority or the minority group.\n\nTo nourish the adrenal glands, which in turn will permit one to tolerate stress better:  oatstraw and nettles.  Nettles as in stinging nettles.  One of the most beneficial herbs in the plant kingdom.  Contrary to its common name, plant has a slightly sweet flavour.  Chock full of vitamins & minerals, more than spinach or broccoli.\n\nOne can usually find combinations of these herbs in tea preparations or in tincture form.  If you get to Washington state you can probably find wild nettles growing in the countryside, or someone who knows how to find & harvest them.  Make nettle soup, as north Europeans did for centuries in the spring - it perked them up after long winters without fresh veggies.\n\nFlower essences:  in addition to Rescue Remedy, there's also mustard flower essence (for grief) and bleeding heart flower essence (mourning something that's lost).\n\nWould you have time to try yoga?  Or even just to read Yoga Journal in a library, it's inspiring to read about people practising yoga to grow their minds and spirits as well as their bodies.

Well you can unblock your nose by using saline drops. All that is normal salt water. It can be bought  but you can make it yourself by boiling salt,but let it cool first of course! Decongestants causes high blood pressure so salt water is the safe alternative.
