hi,
You can try low salt diet, relaxation techniques like yoga. These techniques will lower to some extent but if your bp is too high then you will certainly need medicine. If bp is high then you should take the medicine because uncontrolled bp leads to multiple problems. Keep track of bp. Also get your lipid profile and sugars tested.
