c_schumacker	I applaud your friend for realizing that high blood pressure is something that needs to be dealt with and can have many long term detrimental effects including stroke, congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, kidney failure, aneurysms, and loss of vision. You mentioned a few very good suggestions - engaging in vigorous physical activity (like full court basketball, for instance. Biking 13 miles an hour or more is another) three times weekly for 30 minutes can be very helpful. Staying away from alcohol, especially binge drinking is useful. Some people have a salt sensitivity and even if they are not adding salt to food, they may be getting (more than) enough from prepared food to have an effect and also from hidden sources (like pickles, for instance). Other people are not salt sensitive at all and it really makes little difference. It is reasonable to try alternatives if he/she has had a bad time with prescription medications in the past. After an adequate trial, though, if he/she is not meeting their blood pressure goals, it is too important an issue to ignore and it may be time to revisit medications again. There is no shortage of types (easily over 100). Even if he/she has an odd chemistry, there's bound to be something that works. It may just take a medical provider who is willing to move slowly and extra carefully with your friend's medication regimen. I hope this helps. Good luck. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

naturalchelsea	I know that "Silky Scents" has essential oils & organic essential oils, and they have a free recipe section. You'll probably be able to find all the information there. Plus they have the pictures of each plant. You can google their name to find them online. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Alida	Coenzyme CQ10 100mg Garlic pill 2000mg Vitamin c-500 mg. Take one of each once a day. Both values of the bloodpressure will go down after 10 weeks by 0.5 and if you continue the pressure will go down to normal. The supplements are affordable too. I bought the CQ 10, the Garlic pills, and the Vitamin C at Walmart. Walmart sells CQ 10 120 gelcaps for around 25 dollars, the Garlic pills came to around 6 or 7 bucks, and vitamin C is very cheap. My blood pressure went from 148/83 to 100/76, and since I am continuing the coenzyme CQ10 did my bloodpressure not go up again. I put my fiance on it because he got treated for hypertension and since April has his bloodpressure gone from 168/89 to 112/73(despite the fact that he has a few pounds too many) Was this answer helpful to you?
