Natural Remedies For High Blood Pressure
Consider these high blood pressure natural remedies the better alternatives to taking too many drugs and medications which will later bring unpleasant side effects.
When you are concern about your blood pressure, buy a blood pressure monitor and measure your pressure twice a day. The most accurate times to taking pressure readings are the very first thing in the morning, right after getting out of bed and, around 5 o’clock in the afternoon. No matter how old you are, your readings can be maintained at the normal range, be between 110-120 over 70-80.
What do these numbers mean? The upper number is the systolic, is the blood pressure when the heart is contracting, pumping blood out of the heart, and the lower number is diastolic, the blood pressure when the heart is resting and blood is flowing back to it. High systolic causes are mostly associates with the heart and the blood circulatory system, while high diastolic (or the lower number), is often related to your kidneys conditions.
We need to understand how our circular system works if we want to treat it. The heart acts as a pump, sending blood to the cells through blood vessels though out the body. When 0ur arteries and capillaries are narrowed by plaque buildup, the heart has to raise the pressure in order to pump blood through. Just think of it as the drain in your kitchen sink, when there are grease buildup in the drain pipe, water is not flowing as fast as it should, and will cause water back up if it is serious enough.
The first thing to do to treat high blood pressure is to clean up the arteries, by removing plaque buildup, not to suppress the pressure. With a clean artery system, it no longer necessary for the heart to raise its pumping pressure and therefore, drops back to normal.
So what is normal and when you should be concern about your blood pressure? Blood pressure readings fall into four categories ranging from normal to stage 2 hypertension (high blood pressure).
- Normal blood pressure readings: systolic is between 110-120 over diastolic of 70-80. This is the ideal range for a healthy body.
- Pre-hypertension: systolic is between 120-139 and diastolic is between 80-89. Your arteries and kidneys may start to have buildups.
- Stage 1 hypertension: systolic is between 140-159 and diastolic is between 90-99. Pay closer attention to your cardiovascular system.
- Stage 2 hypertension: systolic reading above 160 and diastolic reading above 100. Be very careful for people with reading in this range have a greater chance of getting a stroke.
When you are in the pre-hypertension stage, there are many ways you can improve your blood pressure such as changing your diets, exercise more, drink more water, quit smoking, etc. There are 3 acupressure points you can use to adjust your blood pressure, lowering it if it’s high or raising it up if you have low blood pressure. Use 3 Magna Blocs (therapeutic magnetic device) on these points and you should see improvement in a couple of hours or so, or you can massage these places often to maintain normal pressure ranges (pictures below):
- The first one is the acupoint GV14 (Dazhui), the big vertebrae central reunion point.
- Acupoint L14 (Hegu)
- Acupoint ST36 (Zusanli)
When you or someone in your household have blood pressure that is way too high that could indicate a stroke, there are two more acupressure points, if used correctly, can save someone from suffering a stroke:
- GV20 (Baihui), located on the top of your head, apply a magna bloc or massage by hand.
- BL40 (Weizhong), these points are directly behind your knees, use a clean, sterilized needle and release some blood from this acupoint. According to Dr. Su Wen Long of Taiwan, if these two points were used accurately and quickly enough, one could prevent a serious stroke.
- Acupoint GV 14 (Dazhui)
- Acupoint ST26 (Zusanli)
- Acupoint L14 (Hegu)
- Acupoint GV20 (Baihui)
- Acupoint BL40 (Weizhong)
NOTE: There are some acupoints that are not to be used when you are pregnant. Just to be safe, DO NOT USE MAGNETIC THERAPY OR MASSAGE ON ANY OF THE ACUPRESSURE POINTS WHEN PREGNANT.
Using acupressure points to treat high blood pressure can temporarily bring it down to a safer level to prevent a sudden heart condition. To treat on the root cause, you need to work on your diets and lifestyle to clean up your arteries and the whole cardiovascular system.
There are dietary supplements you can use to help with high blood pressure treatment. Depending on your individual reading of the systolic and diastolic, you can pretty much have an idea which organ needs some attention. For a stronger heart, there are calcium and co-enzyme Q10. To lower cholesterol, garlic, fish oil, green tea extract, lecithin are doing a good job. You can include lots of these in your diets or supplement with the pills.
To treat high diastolic, use Vitamin B complex and lecithin. Vitamin B complex and lecithin are very good supplements to help clean out the tiny blood vessels in your kidneys. It is also important that you learn to control your emotion. When you are under stress, your diastolic will most likely rises, you need want to find ways to manage your stress.
If you have developed dark spots on your face and hands, you have monitor your blood pressure and pay really good attention to your cholesterol level, since this is a sign that you are a stroke candidate. Watch you diets, exercise regularly and take supplements, especially the lecithin because it is very good at removing bad cholesterol and triglyceride.
While there are many choices of supplements on the market, be careful when you choose the one you take. I like taking my supplements from a reputable company that makes their products from or as close to natural as possible. The synthetic supplements will do more harm than good in the long run.
