Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that natural ways may lower blood pressure values up to 10-20 mm Hg.
This means that in advanced stages of hypertension (values above 150/100), it is very difficult to achieve normal blood pressure values only with natural remedies.
Here are some tips to lower blood pressure naturally :
- reduce maximally salt and caffeine intake in your diet
- try to lose some pounds if you are overweight. A dietitian can help in this regard.
- perform regular physical activity (Yoga, aerobics, recreational sports, etc.).
- avoid straining physical activity
- use some supplements in your diet. In this regard I would recommend using garlic, lemon juice, potassium supplements, food rich in omega 3, flax seed, etc.).
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
