Natural Remedies for High Blood Pressure

Thursday December 21, 2006
According to the American Heart Association, nearly one in three adults in the United States has high blood pressure. But nearly 1/3 of those people don't know they have high blood pressure, because it is a silent disease. People can have high blood pressure for years without experiencing symptoms or knowing that they have it.

Lifestyle changes and natural remedies may help to control high blood pressure, but your doctor may also recommend medication to lower high blood pressure. It is important to work with your doctor, because untreated high blood pressure may damage organs in the body and increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, brain hemorrhage, kidney disease, and vision loss.

Learn about natural remedies for high blood pressure, including CoQ10, garlic, hawthorn, fish oil, folic acid, diet, mind-body interventions, Ayurvedic approaches, and more. Also find out about natural products to avoid. Read the article: Natural Remedies for High Blood Pressure
