Garlic – No. 1 Blood-Pressure Lowering Herb

I know that a lot of you are familiar with the use of garlic as a natural remedy for lowering high blood pressure. When you feel signs that your blood pressure is rising, peel a clove of garlic, put it in your mouth and slowly bite it to get the juice from the herb.

Speaking of signs of high blood pressure, the most notable is dizziness, throbbing pain at the back of your head or headache. You are lucky if you encounter these manifestations as head blood pressure normally does not show symptoms. This is why it is called the “silent killer”.

To get the best result out of your garlic natural remedy, it is paramount that you use fresh, high quality and possibly organic kinds. You can distinguish high quality cloves on the basis of its color. Quality bulbs, though normally yellowish in color, have strong pale color and each bulb does not exceed 12 cloves in a bulb. It may have 8 or 9, up to 12 cloves. You have to take the garlic raw. Many users detest its taste and to alleviate the strong taste, you can follow it up with a teaspoonful of raw honey.

You may find some commercial garlic supplements but the organic, raw clove is best home remedy to lower high blood pressure. However, for people who need to go on maintenance medication, the natural remedy is only a supplement – not to be taken as your medication. Drug-prescribed tablets or capsules are still to be taken, as prescribed by your doctor.
