Herbs That Cure High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure can lead to a stroke, heart attack, congestive heart failure and kidney damage. Combating your high blood pressure can be a difficult journey. Giving your diet a complete overhaul and paying for expensive medications and countless consultations can certainly take its toll on your life and wallet. An alternative way to treat the condition is through the use of herbal remedies. While herbal remedies aren't a quick fix, they are said to help substantially reduce blood pressure overtime.
  1. Garlic

    • The pharmaceutical name for garlic is Alli Satbi Bulbus. According to the Herb Society of America, Garlic can be used as a folk medicinal cure for high blood pressure, amongst other uses. When heavily implemented into the diet, the use of garlic can reduce the growth of arterial plaque and work to prevent further growth from occurring. To benefit from the use of garlic without saturating your food with the pungent taste, consider taking garlic supplements and eating at least one healthy meal per day with a slight hint of garlic.

    Turmeric

    • Turmeric is an herb that is most commonly recognized as its use as curry powder in Indian dishes. While turmeric certainly packs a flavorful punch as a seasoning, it's most beneficial use is combating high blood pressure. Turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory which helps unclog the arteries, therefore increasing the ease of blood flow. To experience the health benefits of turmeric, you can lightly season your meals with the turmeric, take curcumin (the beneficial ingredient in turmeric) supplements and drink turmeric tea.

    Hawthorn

    • The leaves and berries of hawthorn flowers hold the benefits that are provided by the herb. Hawthorn is used for reducing blood pressure and cholesterol. Hawthorn reduces blood pressure by dilating the blood vessels and reducing angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which causes narrowing of the blood vessels. You can implement hawthorn into your diet by drinking up to two cups of Hawthorne tea per day.
