High blood pressure is a very dangerous condition and if you are under a doctor’s supervision for this problem then you must advise him or her of any changes you wish to make to your diet.
Vitamin E can help lower blood pressure. Drs Shute and Shute were pioneers in the use of vitamin E in the treatment of heart disease. Vitamin E’s action on the cardiovascular system (under supervision) should not be overlooked. Vitamin E can also help prevent blood clots forming in the blood. This and its ability to lower blood viscosity makes vitamin E important for the treatment of many circulatory disorders (see Hawthorn Berry).
Herbs such as hawthorn and garlic have been shown to have a favourable effect on the cardiovascular system. Hawthorn improves coronary blood flow and causes peripheral vasodilation. This action reduces the myocardium’s (heart muscle) need for oxygen and also lowers blood pressure.
Garlic has a direct effect on the heart muscle and has mild vasodilating properties. It too can lower blood pressure. Garlic and hawthorn help lower blood cholesterol levels and can help reverse arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). These herbs, in combination, are very beneficial and useful when used for the prevention and/or treatment of high blood pressure.
Medical trials have shown that evening primrose oil can also help to lower blood pressure and cholesterol. It therefore should be included in the diet if high blood pressure is a problem.
