Herbal remedies
There are many factors contributing to raised blood pressure; e.g. diet, lifestyle, stress or lack of exercise. Hypertension, if left untreated, can result in serious medical conditions such as heart attack, kidney failure or stroke. Many people have begun to turn to natural remedies and cures for high blood pressure. While conventional medicines often do not address the root causes, natural remedies treat both its symptoms and the underlying causes. Let’s examine the most effective ones in greater detail.
Herbs frequently used to control and regulate blood pressure levels include hawthorn, passionflower, guelder rose (also known as water elder, European cranberry bush, cramp bark or snowball tree) and ginkgo. They are often the base for ready-made herbal remedies. All of them have the ability to lower blood pressure and act as a tonic for the heart.
You can grow them in your garden, buy them individually or as a ready-made mix from herbal suppliers and online. If you buy them, always source your herbal remedies from a reputable company to ensure maximum safety and efficacy.
You can create a mix for raised blood pressure from 30ml of hawthorn tincture (strength 1:2, i.e. one part of plant material and two parts of alcohol), 20ml of yarrow and 30ml of lime flower tincture (both strength 1:5) and 20ml of valerian tincture (strength 1:1). Making tinctures is not difficult but if you don’t want to do that it is possible to buy them ready-made. To make the mix, pour the tinctures together into a dark glass bottle and store at room temperature. The mix can be used for up to a year.
