Re: Omigod...
I am also stuggleing with high bp, and was taking the standard meds, but my doctor was just throwing stuff at me, I did reasearch, and my main theory is that lack of exercise and STRESS and some weight gain was the causual factirs in my BP rise.
I took milkthistle for a month,a nd that (did ) lower my BP to near acceptable range, went off of it for some stupid rason, and now it will not do the trick again, but I am looking at some other herbals:
Hawthorn root, berry
Dandelion leaf (diuretic)
Valurim (calming)
Garlic, Cayanne Pepper
Lemon Balm.
That is alot of herbals! I am currently on Dandelion, and will be looking forward to the Hawthorns.
Also, look up Rawolfia at Amazon, there are capsules that have all of these in them, plus the snakeroot which sounds like a powerful reatment.
You CANNOT be on OTHER MEDS when you do herbal treatment, use CAUSION with herbals, they are just as 'dangerous' as regular meds IMO. Go so an herbalist if you can to get proper treatment.
AND I WOULD START WITH THE EXERCISE, THAT WLL DROP YOUR BP IF YOU ARE LUCKY, quite a few points.
Remember start slow, it takes a month for the herbals to work usually if you go that way.
Be very cautious!!
Good luck!
