Consider these high blood pressure natural remedies the better alternatives to taking too many drugs and medications which will later bring unpleasant side effects.

When you are concerned about your blood pressure, buy a blood pressure monitor and measure your pressure twice a day. The most accurate times to taking pressure readings are the very first thing in the morning, right after getting out of bed and, around 5 o’clock in the afternoon. No matter how old you are, your blood pressure reading can be and should be maintained at the normal range, be between 110-120 over 70-80.

What do these numbers mean? The upper number is the systolic, is the pressure when the heart is contracting, pumping blood out of the heart, and the lower number is diastolic, the pressure when the heart is resting and blood is flowing back to it. High systolic causes are mostly associates with the heart and the blood circulatory system, while high diastolic (or the lower number), is often related to your kidneys conditions.

We need to understand how our circular system works if we want to treat it. The heart acts as a pump, sending blood to the cells through blood vessels though out the body. When our arteries and capillaries are narrowed by plaque buildup, the heart has to raise the pressure in order to pump blood through. Just think of it as the drain in your kitchen sink, when there are grease buildup in the drain pipe, water is not flowing as fast as it should, and will cause water back up if it is serious enough.

The first thing to do to treat high blood pressure is to clean up the arteries, by removing plaque buildup, not to suppress the pressure. With a clean artery system, it’s no longer necessary for the heart to raise its pumping pressure and therefore, drops back to normal.

So what is normal and when you should be concern about your blood pressure? Blood pressure readings fall into four categories ranging from normal to stage 2 hypertension (high blood pressure).

• Normal blood pressure readings: systolic is between 110-120 over diastolic of 70-80. This is the ideal range for a healthy body.
• Pre-hypertension: systolic is between 120-139 and diastolic is between 80-89. Your arteries and kidneys may start to have buildups.
• Stage 1 hypertension: systolic is between 140-159 and diastolic is between 90-99. Pay closer attention to your cardiovascular system.
• Stage 2 hypertension: systolic reading above 160 and diastolic reading above 100. Be very careful for people with reading in this range have a greater chance of getting a stroke.

When you are in the pre-hypertension stage, there are many ways you can improve your blood pressure such as changing your diets, exercise more, drink more water, quit smoking, etc. There are 3 acupressure points you can use to adjust your blood pressure, lowering it if it’s high or raising it up if you have low blood pressure. Use 3 Magna Blocs (therapeutic magnetic device) on these points and you should see improvement in a couple of hours or so, or you can massage these places often to maintain normal pressure ranges (pictures below):

• The first one is the acupoint GV14 (Dazhui), the big vertebrae central reunion point.
• Acupoint L14 (Hegu)
• Acupoint ST36 (Zusanli)

When you or someone in your household have blood pressure that is way too high that could indicate a stroke, there are two more acupressure points, if used correctly, can save someone from suffering a stroke:

• GV20 (Baihui), located on the top of your head, apply a magna bloc or massage by hand.
• BL40 (Weizhong), these points are directly behind your knees, use a clean, sterilized needle and release some blood from this acupoint. According to Dr. Su Wen Long of Taiwan, if these two points were used accurately and in timely mannor, one could prevent a serious stroke or heart attact.

Please note that it is not advised for women who are pregnant to use magnetic therapy or massaging the acupressure points. Using acupressure points to treat high blood pressure, can temporarily bring it down to a safer level to avoid sudden heart conditions. To treat the root cause, you need to work on clearing the arteries so blood can easily flow through without putting the heart to work extra hard by raising the pressure to get its job done.
