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. Since excess body fat is a primary risk factor in hypertension, it is important to maintain a healthy weight.\nBe physically active. Brisk walking, bicycling, raking leaves, and gardening are the best exercises.\nFollow a low fat diet. Eliminate cholesterol in your diet.\nEliminate salt from your diet. Look at the salt content of tinned foods, snacks, potato chips, French fries, diet soft drinks, sauces, etc. These are high in salt, don't eat them. Do not eat foods that contain soda, sodium, Na, monosodium glutamate, baking soda and preservatives. Read the food labels carefully.

Unfortunately there are many causes of high blood pressure.  For a natural approach, find a Chiropractor or naturopath in your area for a full evaluation.  Once the root cause or causes of the high blood pressure is found, the doctor will be able to suggest natural approaches to help.

Not an herbal treatment, but a mineral one.\n\nBlood pressure is regulated internally by a balance of minerals, in particular: potassium, sodium and magnesium.  We usually get a lot of sodium in our diets, not so with magnesium and potassium.\n\nMagnesium isn't high in most foods, but almonds and buckwheat (as in pancakes) are good sources.  As is broth - real broth made from your own bones - chicken, beef, pork, even fish; it's the best source for all minerals, in the most bioavailable form.  \n\nAll that said, I take a magnesium supplement at night (it also helps you to sleep).\n\nPotassium in supplements is limited to 99 mg per pill, but the daily RDA is 3 g, meaning you'd have to take 30 pills a day to get the RDA.  It's high in bananas (about 400 mg), but higher still in potatoes (1200 mg or 1.2 g).  If you don't want to eat a lot of potatoes, you can make "potato water."  Just slice a potato really thin (with the skins, as the nutrients are just below the skin level).  Leave it to sit in a large glass of water overnight and in the morning drink the water and put the potato in the compost pile.

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).

First of all, get to a Dr. asap. Second, cut out the salt and most of the caffeine, and follow the diet the Dr. advises. Get exercise--walking is great. If the doc prescribes meds, TAKE THEM! If you are stressed, try to get some help to deal with it. Hypertension is called "the silent killer" because a person often does not know they are suffering from it. By the time you have a stroke or a heart attack it may be too late. With on going high blood pressure you need to be under a Dr's care. Monitor your blood pressure at home, but always keep in touch with your physician.

Actually, your blood pressure is only a little high. There is a general rule of thumb that say, " 100 + your age, over 70ish". Of course that only gets you so far.\n\nQ's: What is your fat intake? Do you exercise? Are you under any undo stress? Has something changed drastically in your life?\n\nAll of these can increase your blood pressure. What does your Doctor say? If he wants to put you on medication with exploring other options, look for another Doctor.\n\nOtherwise, doing simple forms of meditation/yoga can actually help. This not coming from some woowoo philosophy. Concentrated focus on something as simple as you breathing actually helps the mind to "tune-out" all kinds of external pressures.\n\nJust a thought.\n-Alan

Check for high blood pressure, eat high fiber foods such as grains & vegetables and cut down on fatty foods. Take fish oil daily. Drink plenty of water. Exercise regularly - and even a half hour of brisk walking creates significent change. Avoid stress - and plenty of sleep creates significent change. DO NOT SMOKE- a major contribution to circulatory damage.

Well...first of all, high blood pressure is defined as anything over 140/90 mmHg.  If you think that you have high blood pressure, then first thing to do is to go see a doctor.  He or she will take your blood pressure once more and if it is high (but not dangerously high), then most probably they will advise exercise, proper low fat low cholesterol diet and will also tell you to not get stressed out often.  Usually they try this for a couple of months and then tell you to come back at which time, they will check your blood pressure once more.  If it is still high, then they will start medication.  High blood pressure can be controlled at this stage with medication (either one or a combination of drugs), proper exercise, proper healthy diet and minimal stress.  Along with your cooperation, your doctor can combine drugs to achieve a satisfactory blood pressure reading over time.  There are always many options available.  Therefore, discuss with your doctor, and with your cooperation, both of you can get your bp under control, which is very essential since high blood pressure is one of the risk factors for heart attacks and strokes. Also, smoking is also associated with high blood pressure...so, if you're a smoker the first step would be to stop smoking.

Make a list of the things poor lifestyle has on heart/lungs, like strees,  smoking, lack of exercise, being overweight, eating the wrong foods that contribute towards high blood pressure.  Then write on each topic showing how, for example, giving up smoking will help breathing, thus aid exercise so bringing down the excess weight and help to bring down the high blood pressure....

The salt that you find in table salt and most processed foods is sodium chloride. Salt in this form has been processed at high temperatures, which changes the molecular structure and removes vital minerals from the salt. Table salt also contains additives, anticaking agents, and even sugar. Excess salt consumption is associated with high blood pressure, fluid retention, heart and kidney disease.\n\nTrash It: Dump out your salt shaker and toss out all other packaged or processed foods with a high sodium content. This should be pretty easy for most people.\n\nStash it: We have been told for years to avoid salt, but following this advice can lead to even more problems. We are all salty on the inside—our blood, sweat, tears, and even our urine—it's all salty. It's important to replenish the salt in our body, using the right salt is what makes all the difference in the world. The best way to put salt back into your body is to use Celtic sea salt. This high quality salt contains over 80 balanced minerals from the sea. Celtic sea salt is essential for maintaining proper fluid balance and utilization in the body. It also normalizes blood pressure, enhances digestion, and nourishes the adrenal glands. Celtic sea salt is available at many natural food stores

If you mean is ginseng a cause of hypertension, then no. If you didn't have hypertension before taking it, ginseng alone will not "cause" it. It can, however, temporarily raise your blood pressure and for this reason it is not recommended for persons who already have high blood pressure.

First, only your Doctor should prescribe a medicine for hypertension....\n\nI have been on Atenolol for over 5 yrs, and it has worked fabulously.  It is relatively cheap ( Under $30 per mo. ) \n\nLIFESTYLE changes, reducing stress, moderate aerobic exercise ALL contribute to reducing BP normally...\n\nDo a Google Search for Homeopathic HYpertension Treatments

Suck on pepperment and take Ginseng, if your blood pressure isn't high, and stay in bright areas and do what you like and eat chocolate (chocolate has a chemical that makes you happy), drink cocoa, early for caffene's sake, if you want. I would pray if I was in your state of mind, personaly.

You do know that high blood pressure WILL KILL you, right? My blood pressure was 220/180 right before my son was born. I had hypertension and was on drugs for \n\nsome time after that...This is the deal...if you are going to do the "alternative" route you have to stay on your meds EVERY day w/o fail while you do the alternative stuff EVERY day w/o fail...\n\nCut out salt and this means almost NEVER eating out...NO cigarrettes..little caffeine --Exercise-EVERY day and Meditate for at least 30 minutes two times EVERY day...no excuses...almost all people with high blood pressure from external causes(like stress)are also guilty of the lifestyle that raises blood pressure and stress and I know you KNOW what I am talking about..\n\nNow a word about those drugs you're taking...for some reason(money) doctors today do not prescribe the old drugs like water pills eventhough it is documented that the originals work BETTER with fewer side effects than  these new fancy things that put you in the hospital with NO blood pressure. It is your body ASK for the old stuff.
