Natural ways blood pressure can be controlled

My blood pressure has now returned to its normal level. This may have been helped by the garlic supplement, or by drinking the correct amount of fluid each day, ( see my earlier post ) or it could be that the drug Ramipril is now starting to work.

If the above had not worked then I had intended to start taking the herb Hawthorn, I still may do this but I do not want to mix it with Garlic. Hawthorn is a shrub and its berries contain many active flavonoid compounds. Hawthorn can dilate and relax coronary vessels, reducing blood pressure and improving blood supply to the heart, and therefore beneficial in the prevention and treatment of angina.

It may not be wise for me to take Hawthorn at the moment, because of taking Ramipril and garlic as this may lower my blood pressure by too much, symptoms of this are nausea and feeling faint.

Do you smoke?

I don't smoke myself but I do chew nicotine gum and I don't know why I started. I intend to look at alternative health ways of replacing the gum, perhaps with some natural remedy.

I don't have anything against smokers, my dad smoked cigarettes and then a pipe, although he did die quite young, at 64 from lung disease.

What I would like to know is would you be prepared to stop if you could find a way to stop the craving?.

Do you want to stop?.
Do you know of any alternative ways to stop smoking?.
I would be very interested to know. Please add your comments.
Thank you.

Ear Adrenal Acupoint helps craving for smoking.

By using this Acupressure point this is a simple, natural way to stimulate the adrenal gland and thus helps to remove cigarette craving.

Use your thumb and forfinger to locate the top of the ear, on the border of the indentation. Gently stimulate the point for about sixty seconds on each ear. This should be done each time you have a craving to smoke. Take care not to damage sensitive skin of the ear.

Natural Health Strategies

Easy way to beat heart disease

An easy way to beat heart disease,and strokes is quite simple, eat tomatoes!

Tomatoes are a rich source of lycopene
Scientists say a natural supplement made from tomatoes, taken daily, can stave off heart disease and strokes.
The tomato pill contains an active ingredient from the Mediterranean diet - lycopene - that blocks "bad" LDL cholesterol that can clog the arteries.
Ateronon, made by a biotechnology spin-out company of Cambridge University, is being launched as a dietary supplement and will be sold on the high street.
Experts said more trials were needed to see how effective the treatment is.
Preliminary trials involving around 150 people with heart disease indicate that Ateronon can reduce the oxidation of harmful fats in the blood to almost zero within eight weeks, a meeting of the British Cardiovascular Society will be told at Ateronon's launch on Monday.
Our advice to heart disease patients or those at high risk is to rely on proven medications prescribed by their doctor, and aim to get the benefits of a Mediterranean diet by eating plenty of fresh fruit and veg
Professor Peter Weissberg of the British Heart Foundation
Neuroscientist Peter Kirkpatrick, who will lead a further research project at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge on behalf of Cambridge Theranostics Ltd, said the supplement could be much more effective than statin drugs that are currently used by doctors to treat high cholesterol.
But Professor Peter Weissberg of the British Heart Foundation said: "As always, we caution people to wait for any new drug or modified 'natural' product to be clinically proven to offer benefits before taking it.
"It will take some time, and several clinical trials, to provide such evidence for Ateronon.
"In the meantime, our advice to heart disease patients or those at high risk is to rely on proven medications prescribed by their doctor, and aim to get the benefits of a Mediterranean diet by eating plenty of fresh fruit and veg."
He said the British Heart Foundation had supported some of the basic science at Cambridge University underpinning the development of the product.
Professor Anthony Leeds, trustee of the cholesterol charity Heart UK, said: "The new lycopene product Ateronon represents an entirely new approach to the treatment of high blood cholesterol and opens up the exciting possibility."
He said the preliminary findings were "very promising".
Lycopene is an antioxidant contained in the skin of tomatoes which gives them their red colour. But lycopene ingested in its natural form is poorly absorbed.
Ateronon contains a refined, more readily absorbed version of lycopene that was originally developed by Nestle.
Dr Peter Coleman of The Stroke Association said: "We know that diets rich in antioxidants are beneficial in reducing the plaque build up and welcome the findings of this research."
