Nearly a third of all Americans have high blood pressure. Many of these people take prescription medications. But the side effects of these medications are often as bad as the illness they’re supposed to cure! These side effects include impotence, sleeplessness, fatigue, dry mouth, leg cramps, depression, dizziness, constipation–the list goes on and on. How can people help reduce high blood pressure naturally?
In fact, there are very effective natural cures, but the medical community doesn’t want you to know about them. These people make too much money off overpriced pharmaceuticals. But people are beginning to catch on. According to The New York Times, 36 percent of Americans now take alternative medications for their illnesses. As ethnobotanist Chris Kilham says, “People in the U.S. are more cranked up on pharmaceutical drugs than any other culture in the world today. I want people using safer medicine. And that means plant medicine.”
This isn’t just nonsense. Did you know that plants are directly responsible for a vast array of drugs and medicines? According to the United Nations University, about 62 percent of cancer drugs approved by the US government are derived from chemical compounds found in plants.
There are quite a few herbs that can help reduce high blood pressure naturally. Some herbs reduce stress, some herbs enhance blood flow, and some herbs strengthen the heart’s pumping capacity. Many scientific studies have confirmed their ability to treat hypertension. Best of all, these natural ingredients don’t have any side effects!
Taking a natural supplement is as simple as taking a daily vitamin. Of course, you must try to eat right and get exercise as well. The herbal supplement should be a part of an overall plan to control your blood pressure. But if you do all these things correctly, you will be able to enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle.
Men and women who start taking a more natural approach to treating their high blood pressure rarely take pharmaceutical drugs again. But it’s very important to find a natural supplement that contains a strong dose of high quality herbs. Too many natural products use second-rate herbs. And very few of them provide the proper dosage.
Since ancient times, millions of people have used herbs to strengthen their heart and improve circulation. With the right combination of these natural ingredients, you can “kick the habit” of taking prescription medication and live a happier, healthier life.
