Bood pressure varies with age, sex, altitude, muscular development, and states of mental and physical stress and fatigue. Women generally have lower blood pressure than men, low in childhood, and higher in elderly. It can also be affected by diet, hormones, and blood loss due to menstruation or severe injury. Blood pressure is measured in terms of how much the arteries contract and dilate.
High blood pressure can remain symptomless for 10-20 years, possibly damaging the brain, kidneys, and eyes without the patient being aware. Cutting back on salt intake may be helpful in many people with high blood pressure, as well as lowering body weight by eating fewer calories, drinking less alcohol, quitting cigarette smoking, and watching the diet.
Hawthorne Berry is the best known alternative medicine for high blood pressure, as it relaxes and dilates artery walls. It generally takes several weeks or months to work, so it is best used in the early stages of high blood pressure. Reishi Mushrooms have been studied for many years, and published studies show that it not only lowers blood pressure, but it reduces bad LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. This reduces the likelihood of blood platelets to accumulate, thereby making the blood less likely to clot. Garlic is also known to lower blood pressure, as is Dandelion, by increasing urine flow with its diuretic effect.
