Research Notes on Alternative Treatment for High Blood Pressure
With an increasing number of people being diagnosed with high blood pressure, more people are turning to alternative treatments to treat the disease. Relaxation techniques such as yoga and meditation can temporarily help to lower high blood pressure.1 Although a number of people are using herbal remedies to treat their high blood pressure, the effectiveness of doing so has not been evaluated by the U.S. FDA.1 Before starting any alternative treatment, please consult with your health care provider regarding the safest treatment.
Fast Facts:
- Changing your diet to include healthier foods such as whole grain products and fruits, can make an impact on your blood pressure.2
- Exercise can decrease the risk of developing high blood pressure, and help to lower high blood pressure for those who have a mildly elevated blood pressure.2
