long walks every day will bring down your blood pressure and avoid salty foods along with msg.
Fish oil is very beneficial, among many things , it’s good for the heart and blood pressure. Take it daily. I do.
exercise daily, eat a high fiber, low fat diet, and an antioxidant supplement.http://www.charismatichealth.com/bibesuanop.html
I second fish oil as a great supplement for your needs. However, I encourage you to be very selective when choosing a product, as many supermarket varieties are rancid and do not contain very high concentrations of omega 3. Look for a fish oil supplement that has been moleculary distilled to remove any heavy metal and chemical contaminants and create a product with the highest possible concentration of essential fatty acids. Nordic Naturals is my recommended line of fish oil. Best of luck!
Lifestyle changes are usually indicated. You could try the DASH diet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DASH_diet

I would advise you to read the homeopath’s answer with skepticism and caution. Even though the website he links to proclaims "Blood Pressure Cure", it is homeopathy, which has never been shown in any quality clinical trial to perform better than placebo. The extreme dilutions they use typically mean you are only buying water.

Herbal Therapy:
Eating up to three or four cloves of garlic every day may lower blood pressure, according to Varro E. Tyler, Ph.D., professor of phramacognosy at Purdue University in West Lafayette Indiana. If you’d rather not eat fresh clove, try garlic supplements (they’re are available in most health food stores and many drugstores.) Dr. Tyler recommends enteric-coated tablets such as Garlique for maximum absorption of allicin, the blood pressure-lowering ingredient in garlic. He says to follow the dosage recommendations on the label of the product you choose.
Juice Therapy:
"Celery juice has a mild diuretic effect, similar to many drugs that are prescribed for high blood pressure," says Elaine Gillaspie, N.D., a naturopathic physician in Portland, Oregon. She recommends an eight-ounce blend of one part celery juice, one part carrot juice and one part water, taken at least once a day. "This juice is highly nutritious and can be helpful for people with high blood pressure," says Dr. Gillaspie.
