I've heard for a while that Celery is helpful, but you have to eat a ton of it. It seems the most potent part is the seed, and there are expensive Celery seed extract suppliments out there. Taking a page from the "kidney cleanse," I decided to see if this would help.

I bought bulk seeds at my heathfood store, ground them up fine in a coffee bean mill and then put them in a zip-lock. I add 2-4 pinches ground seed inside my tea infuser (with tea) and let steep about twice a day. My BP went down like -15/-10 within a few days! Celery seed is both a diuretic and calcium channel blocker. It also has anti-inflammatory and mild sedative properties (more too). All I know is it's working great for me. I also bought some empty capsules for those times when tea is impossible. Like all diuretics, you should probably up your potassium intake.

Here's some links with more info:
