Healing Hypertension at the Source
High blood pressure is typically a symptom free condition that is only picked up on physical examination and is a common (but not normal) problem with age. There are many possible causes of high blood pressure:
- Blockage or hardening of the arteries
- Magnesium or potassium imbalances
- Poor adrenal gland function
- High cholesterol
- Poor kidney function
- Over stimulation of the nervous system/stress
High blood pressure won’t go away without some intervention. Often borderline high blood pressure people are sent home until their next check up and without making some changes, the only place to go is up. If you neglect your blood pressure, you can expect a lifetime of multiple prescription drugs, and heart disease such as strokes or heart attacks.
To correct high blood pressure we:
- Clean out the arteries with proteolytic enzymes and herbs
- Correct magnesium and potassium imbalances
- Nourish, balance and support the adrenal glands
- Reduce cholesterol through dietary changes and exercise
- Heal and support the kidneys
- Reduce stress and nervous system stimulation through exercise, yoga, tai chi, breathing exercises, psychotherapy, massage therapy, herbs and other nutrients
