rebbi1 -“Ok to be more specific – high blood pressure. I was told that Chinese Med has a good success rate for getting it under control and not having to take med for the rest of my life.”
To be honest with you, it really depends on how high. If your talking between 140 -160, then perhaps things besides meds will work. Besides herbs and vitamins, people try biofeedback, diet, weight loss, amongst other things. Google – Mother’s nature on Hypertension/High Blood Pressure for more info.
But, if you’re above 160, it’s unlikely anything besides meds will get you down where you need to be. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try it, but you have to go on meds first. If after you’re on meds and the other stuff brings you down below 120, then you can slowly wean off the meds! Keep in mind anything you do for your BP will be for the rest of your life, not just meds.
Sometimes it’s hard to do something that you’ll have to do forever, but in this case it’s lifesaving!
