So you go to your doctor and you are told that you will be placed on a medicine for high blood pressure. "Oh NO!", you may say, " I told myself this would never happen to me." What you need to understand is: 1) What went wrong?, and 2) What are your options for dealing with it - both conventional and natural? Knowing this information will arm you so that you can get rid of the high blood pressure and never get it back again.
What went wrong - what causes high blood pressure? Most high blood pressure (hypertension) can be placed into four areas of cause: stress, obesity, lack of physical fitness, and bad nutrition.
PRESSURE SORES
Stress: Stress is one that everyone knows about. Mental/emotional stress has been shown to raise blood pressure especially over a prolonged time.
Obesity: When we get overweight by more than 20% of our optimal body weight it is called obesity. Pushing the blood through a body that is clogged with fat challenges the heart and increases the blood pressure.
Lack of physical fitness: Being a couch potato can lead to obesity. But it also is bad because it lets stress build up. Psychologists tell us that 3 hours of quality exercise weekly gets rid of this stress build-up and raises our mood level.
Bad nutrition due to intake of wrong types of fat: This one is more insidious. Saturated fats (dairy) and hydrogenated oils are everywhere in the grocery and especially in fast food. It has been quite challenging to choose processed foods without these things in them.
Now that we have a snapshot of what could have gone wrong, we need to know how to fix it. For our purposes I will break the high blood pressure remedies into two types: allopathic and natural.
Allopathic: This refers to medications given to us to force the body to lower the blood pressure. Over time we may need to increase the potency of these medications as the body struggles to get oxygen where it is needed and overpowers the medicine. This is not a cure. It is an emergency measure that can be used temporarily when the blood pressure reading is in the stroke range. If you remove the medicine the blood pressure goes right back up unless other measures are taken.
Natural: This is a large area but I will break it down into three broad areas: lifestyle, diet or nutrition, and herbal aids and cleansing regimens. Lifestyle includes but is not limited to exercise. It also includes getting fresh air and sunshine. If you are not overweight, it is possible that just getting the right amount of exercise regularly, getting fresh air regularly, and getting some exposure to sunlight will bring your pressure down. Diet or nutrition: I mean good nutrition.
Herbal aids and healing regimens: Cayenne has,time after time been used to lower excessive blood pressure. I take one teaspoonful in about 4 ounces of water three times a day. It is wonderful for the circulation. Apple Cider Vinegar has been used to strip the calcium off the walls of the arteries. Usually a teaspoonful is used taken three times a day in warm water and sweetened with raw honey. Dr. Christopher's Blood Circulation Formula is another excellent herbal aid for high blood pressure.
Cleansing is the last regimen to talk about. The 3 day juice cleanse is useful to remove toxins from the body that may be clogging the circulation. Send me an email and I will see that you get the instructions for this cleanse. Extended cleanses are also available for deeper cleaning.
Now that we understand what went wrong to cause the high blood pressure, we can:
• Improve our lifestyle
• Improve our nutrition
• Use the herbal aids and other healing regimens
Remember that, in most cases, high blood pressure is not something that just happens. It has a cause and is not a normal result of living and aging. Caution: do not go off your high blood pressure medication cold turkey. That is dangerous! There is a protocol for doing that. It is pretty hard to communicate everything you need to know in this space. You can come visit me at Natural Healing With Herbs to ask questions and to get clear on any of this information.
