How to lower blood pressure using a natural treatment 

Stress is frequently a contributing cause to high blood pressure. When we are comfortable, everything in our body is relaxed, including our blood vessels. As previously said, high blood pressure is caused by the constriction and restriction of the blood arteries, thus anything that allows them to dilate or relax is advantageous.

Herbs, aromatherapy, and yoga are among alternative treatments for high blood pressure.

Herbs

- Lemon Balm (melissa officinalis)

This is a green leafy plant that looks like mint and is almost as easy to cultivate. The plant gets its name from the lemony fragrance of its leaves. It is well-known for its soothing and relaxing properties, as well as its muscle-strengthening properties.

It was introduced to Britain by the Romans in the fourth century and is also beneficial for digestion, stomach cramps, stress, and nerves. The essential oil is effective as an insect repellent, but it should never be consumed orally, as with other essential oils.

Lemon balm leaves are delicious in salads and may also be used as a marinade for poultry and fish.

Pregnant women should avoid using this herb since it relaxes the cervical muscles.

Nettles are a kind of plant that has a stinging sensation.

Stinging nettles are high in vitamin C and have traditionally been used to treat arthritis. They energize and detoxify the body while also improving cardiac function.

They actually make decent tea, believe it or not. Pick the plant's top new shoots and brew herbal tea as directed on the left.

Hawthorne

Hawthorne relaxes muscles while also stimulating cardiac metabolism and strengthening heart contractions. It also dilates blood arteries, which enhances blood flow to the heart. Hawthorne may be found in English hedgerows and was formerly thought to have mystical abilities. Typically, the berries are utilized medicinally.

You should never take Hawthorne without first seeing your doctor and a herbalist. Look through the relevant contact list at the bottom of this article to find a herbalist.

Other Beneficial Herbs

Compounds found in fennel, black pepper, ginger, oregano, basil, tarragon, and hyssop can help decrease blood pressure. Fennel and ginger also make tasty herbal drinks and pair well with lemon balm.

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy oils, when used appropriately, are simple and safe alternatives. Except for lavender and tea tree oil, they should never be consumed orally or applied directly to the skin. You may either burn 5-8 drops in an oil burner or dilute 5-10 drops in 10ml of almond oil to produce your own massage oil.

Choose oils with soothing and relaxing characteristics. Rose, ylang ylang, marjoram, lavender, cypress, chamomille, clary sage, and rosewood are all good choices.

Yoga

Yoga can also assist to lower blood pressure by stretching, elongating, and massaging the blood vessels, which promotes circulation and helps the blood vessels to remain supple. Stress may also raise blood pressure, which yoga, with its soothing principles, can help to reduce. Yoga is also a weight-bearing workout since several of the positions demand you to support your own body weight. Weight-bearing exercise can aid in the prevention of osteoporosis, a condition that affects one-third of women and two-thirds of men over the age of 50.
