Holistic Remedies for High Blood Pressure

Tuesday April 13, 2004
There is good and bad news about high blood pressure. The bad news is that the incidence of this dangerous condition has edged up a bit over the past decade, to nearly a third of the country's population or 58 million Americans. The good news is that the percentage of people whose condition is controlled has also increased a bit.

And with Americans eating more and more processed foods, getting less exercise, and getting more obese, the national goal of having half of all cases under control by 2010 will be very difficult to achieve. High blood pressure is a significant risk factor for heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular disease.

Learn information and natural treatments for high blood pressure, such as herbs, diet, nutrition, chinese medicine, ayurvedic remedies, supplements, and home remedies.
