Robin H asked:


I have recently been diagnosed with hypertension. I look after myself, run regularly and have completed four marathons. I’m not keen on the medication I’ve been prescribed and was wondering if anyone could suggest any herbal remedies.

    Heart Tension Formula by Mountain Peak Nutritionals. Contains Rauwolfia, Hawthorn, Viscum Album (Misteltoe), Allim Sativa (garlic extract), Coleus Forskohili, Magnesium, Potassium and Vitamin C. I would see a naturopathic doc before taking it, tho’.

    Yes take the herb “Hibiscus” it is used to normalize BP. Very much used in North Africa. It comes in teabags also. Try an Arabic store in your area. Its other name is Carcade. A lot of this is from the Sudan.
    Also look into breathing exercises to relieve stress and tension. I believe that may be taught in yoga.
