Natural Ways to Lower Blood Pressure

Has your doctor advised you to lower your blood pressure? It's important to listen to your doctor and manage your blood pressure. Try these natural ways to lower your blood pressure; you may even be able to come off medication or avoid going on it altogether.

Hold a pet. Studies show a lowering of blood pressure when a person spends time petting an animal each day. Scientists think the combination of the unconditional love and the physical act of holding and stroking something comforting combine to work as a powerful blood pressure reducer.

Hire a massage therapist. Massage therapy naturally slows your heart rate and lowers your blood pressure. If you can’t afford a massage, a simple backrub from a trusted friend or partner will have the same effect. Try using a homemade massage oil, made from almond oil (as the base) with a drop of high quality lavender essential oil.

Speaking of lavender, this scent has been scientifically proven to lower blood pressure. Diffuse lavender essential oil in your home or office. You'll want to invest in good high quality lavender essential oil, which can be used in lotions and oils, because the fake stuff doesn't have the same effect.

Try praying or getting some time alone each day to decompress. Lock yourself away from everyone and let yourself relax, focusing on your breathing and thinking only restful, positive thoughts.

Sekk out physical affection. Your blood pressure will sink when you spend time cuddling with someone. Rent a movie and cuddle up, or turn down the heat and snuggle with your sweetie while you fall asleep.

Keep an eye out for changes you can make in your life situation that may lower your stress. If you can point to a particular stressor that is probably somewhat responsible for your blood pressure problem look for ways to change the situation. Try to think outside the box, considering a job change, an education change, hiring out, or exchanging favors with someone to ease your burden.

If you have high blood pressure, it's important to keep an eye on it. Hopefully you'll find ways to lower your blood pressure and keep it at a healthy level.
