If you are ready to get started on your way to naturally lower blood pressure, there are some important herbs you should know about. New clinical trials have forced even the archaic medical community to take notice of these effective, natural remedies. Here are the top four supplements that build-up your cardiovascular system and work on the causes of hypertension.
Doctors and pharmaceutical companies agree that OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT decreases blood pressure. Clinical research proves it lowers blood pressure by increasing coronary flow with absolutely no side effects. It also protects the heart and circulatory system from free radical damage with the additional benefit of reducing LDL cholesterol.
The herb HAWTHORN has been used in many cultures for hundreds of years to treat high blood pressure. It is believed to dilate coronary blood vessels and maintain the flow of blood and oxygen to the heart.
CoQ10 is yet another natural treatment highly prescribed by cardiologists and medical doctors to prevent heart disease and related cardiovascular problems. By improving energy production in the heart muscle, CoQ10 has been documented as a natural means to lower BP after only 4-8 weeks of use.
GARLIC has long been recommended as the leading herb for the natural treatment of numerous health ailments. Studies show that raw GARLIC aids in overall cardiovascular health, including lowered blood pressure, with no side effects. Five to 10 minced raw garlic cloves per day, or 300mg of dried garlic three times per day, lowers cholesterol, prevents blood clots and destroy plaque in the arteries.
As always, before taking any herbs you should check with your doctor to see if they will interact with prescription medications you may be taking. And do not stop taking blood pressure medications without first discussing it with your doctor or a trained naturopath, herbalist or acupuncturist.
This is a list of herbs that have been found, or are suspected of, causing high blood pressure if not prescribed properly:
Licorice
Ephedra
Ginseng
