Lowering Blood Pressure
High Blood Pressure can be a scary thing. There are many holistic ways to lower blood pressure but sometimes, whether taking medication for hyper tension, using natural methods, or just for situational flair ups, tools to lower hypertension can come in handy.
The first tool to reduce blood pressure quickly is to sterilize a sewing needle and prick the tops of the ears, squeezing just a few drops of blood out. If out and about where needling is not an option, just vigorously pinching the tops of the ears can help. It is an Acupoint for high blood pressure.
The second tool is soaking the feet in hot water. This is especially good at night, since hot water on the feet brings the energy flow down in the body, the direction it should be headed in the evening. High blood pressure can make it very difficult to sleep at night, so this is a soothing and effective ritual, that can help, until blood pressure is effectively reduced by other methods.
Crossing the legs when sitting can raise blood pressure by 16 points.
Not drinking enough water during the day, as opposed to other liquids, can be a contributing factor. Caffeinated drinks can also caouse an incease in figures.
High blood pressure is always something to have checked by an M.D. and then keep an eye on. If it is high at the doctor's office, asking for it to be taken three times, in a row, can often rule out 'the white coat syndrome', as going to the doctor can be stressful.
A good diet, exercise, Acupuncture, Chinese herbal formulas and nutritional supplements can do amazing things for blood pressure, but in the case of extremely high figures, have any structural problems ruled out by an M.D. or specialist.
