natural Support for High Blood Pressure

Always consult with your local medical practitioner before starting any new supplements or making significant changes to your diet or lifestyle to ensure they’re safe and appropriate for your situation.

Our holistic approach for hypertension aims to address the underlying causes and promote overall health. These approaches, such as nutrition & stress management, complement conventional treatments. Here are some naturopathic strategies for a holistic approach to hypertension:

• Dietary Changes: Adopting a heart-healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats (like those found in fish, seeds, and avocados). A good example is the Mediterranean diet. Avoid refined and processed foods. Reducing sodium intake can help some people.
• Exercise and Physical Activity: Regular physical activity can aid in lowering blood pressure. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week, as recommended by your healthcare provider.
• Stress Reduction Techniques: Stress management plays a crucial role in managing hypertension. Practices such as yoga, meditation, and deep breathing exercises can help reduce stress levels.
• Weight Management: Losing excess weight, if applicable, through a combination of a healthy diet and regular exercise can significantly impact blood pressure. If you have difficulty losing weight, then get a checkup with your doctor to see if it could be linked to hormonal health issues including thyroid, adrenals, and reproductive health.
• Lifestyle Modifications: Limiting alcohol intake, quitting smoking, and getting adequate sleep are essential lifestyle changes that can positively impact blood pressure.

You can also lower blood pressure naturally with herbs in some cases. Consider herbs like hawthorn, garlic, olive leaf,  mistletoe, or other herbs for high blood pressure depending on your situation.

Some supplements like magnesium, potassium, CoQ10, and omega-3 fatty acids might help support cardiovascular health and manage blood pressure. However, the dosage and interactions need careful consideration, so consult with your local medical practitioner before starting any supplements or herbs for high blood pressure.
