Cayenne Pepper is probably the fastest way to lower high blood pressure. Either mix one teaspoon of cayenne pepper with half a cup of luke-warm water and stir, or better still, mix two tablespoons of honey with two teaspoons of cayenne pepper and boil them with a glass of water and drink when it is warm. Not only will this bring great relief to your high blood pressure, but it also tastes good!
Hawthorn berries have rightly been called "food for the heart". They lower blood pressure as well as protecting arterial walls and preventing and treating hypertension and angina.
Two Evening Primrose oil pills a day can drop blood pressure about 10 points off of both the bottom and top numbers.
Cutting out all caffeine can lower blood pressure by 10-15 points off the top and 8-10 points off the bottom.
Eat lots of garlic, preferably raw minced garlic. Studies have proven that garlic significantly lowers both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Likewise cinnamon can help lower blood pressure, as well as lower circulating blood glucose, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol and overall cholesterol.
Mix 1/2 onion juice and 1/2 honey. Take two tablespoons once a day for one to two weeks.
Eat one Papaya on an empty stomach daily for a month. Do not eat anything after for about two hours.
A healthy diet with plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, and quality fish oils and other good omega 3 fats will also help.
Natural remedies for high blood pressure are typically diuretics. A number of different foods, including cranberries, asparagus, parsley, melon, coffee, certain teas, and others fall under this class of medicines.
Diuretics act by increasing urine output, which results in a decrease in total body water. Removing water will drop blood pressure. (If that doesn’t make sense, imagine you had a balloon filled with water almost to the point of popping. Then siphon some water out. The pressure will drop!)
