High blood pressure is defined as abnormally high blood pressure on the artery walls. In hypertensives, this tension is constantly high even in the absence of physical activity. Also, it can have serious health consequences and medical follow-up in this case is often de rigueur. However, there are natural remedies that can help lower blood pressure to keep your blood pressure normal.
In France, this disease is the most common. And although it seems harmless, it remains one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular complications.
Signs of high blood pressure
Although this disease does not provide any apparent symptoms, hence its name "the silent killer", there are nevertheless, signs not to be overlooked, such as:
- Headaches, especially in the morning
- Visual disturbances such as the appearance of spots or flies
- Tiredness
- Muscle cramps
- The urge to frequent urination
- Respiratory genes

Natural ingredients are within our reach to help reduce hypertension. We thus find, without context, garlic, ginger and lemon that can be used as part of this remedy and which must of course, come from a biological culture.

The benefits of food
Garlic
The therapeutic potential of garlic is no longer to prove. Its consumption is useful to mitigate several evils. It helps, among other things, improve blood circulation and reduce moderate blood pressure. In a meta-analysis, it was concluded that garlic would reduce blood pressure in hypertensives.
Ginger
To relieve many ailments, such as rheumatism, nausea, colds or headaches, there is no more effective than ginger. Regarded as the antioxidant par excellence, it works to protect the body from free radicals, involved in the development of many diseases related to aging and cardiovascular disease. Moreover, and according to one study, ginger could be a natural alternative in the context of high blood pressure, even if concrete evidence on this subject is still limited.
Lemon
Lemon is the flagship food that has enormous health benefits, whether to lose weight, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, calm inflammation or reduce cholesterol. Its benefits come from flavonoids it contains and its fiber and protein, not to mention its different vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, as well as copper and iron. On the other hand, it has been demonstrated in one study that lemon consumption combined with physical exercise such as walking has been shown to be effective in improving blood pressure.
Note that this remedy does not replace the medical treatment that your doctor is supposed to prescribe, depending on your case. Indeed, it is simply a matter of helping to provide additional help to treat your illness and to do this, it is essential to inform your doctor.

- If you have burns or stomach ulcers, avoid consuming lemon.
