Most people know that in our body, all organs are interconnected. Many renal failure patients also suffer from high blood pressure. At this time, some doctors may prescribe antihypertensive drugs to patients. However, these antihypertensive drugs can worsen our renal failure. Many patients, once they have high blood pressure, only focus on medication, which is not advisable. By controlling blood pressure, starting from the root cause, and daily regulation, patients can reduce dependence on medication and stay away from high blood pressure. Now, let me share some methods with you on how to lower blood pressure without medication. You can give them a try.
This acupressure massage can help to lower blood pressure effortlessly.
Acupoint: Located on the back of the ear, you can feel a clearly depressed groove when you touch it, which is the ear back groove.
Benefits: Regular massage at this point not only effectively lowers blood pressure but also helps alleviate symptoms such as dizziness, vertigo, ringing in the ears, and itching.
How to do it: Gently pinch the upper half of the ear with your index finger and thumb, then press down on the ear back groove. Massage from top to bottom following the direction of the groove, 15 times each time, massage two to three times a day. Stop when the ear feels slightly warm, and avoid applying too much pressure.
In addition to this acupressure method to lower blood pressure, there are several dietary therapies for hypertension.
Beetroot juice for lowering blood pressure
A study published in an authoritative journal found that drinking a 250ml cup of beetroot juice can reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients by nearly 7%. Beetroot juice is rich in organic nitrates, which have a hypotensive effect. Researchers also found that consuming foods high in nitrates, such as celery, cabbage, and spinach, can help lower blood pressure.
Celery juice for lowering blood pressure
Remove the roots from fresh celery, wash and crush, extract the juice, mix it with an equal amount of honey, take 40ml each time, three times a day. I persisted in using this method for twenty days. My previous blood pressure was 130/170, but after using this method, it dropped to 80/120. This method not only lowers blood pressure but also benefits patients with cerebral thrombosis. It helps clear liver heat, resolve wind, promote diuresis, and is effective in lowering serum cholesterol.
Pea Sprout Celery Soup
Pea sprouts are cold in nature with a sweet taste. They enter the liver, spleen, and lung meridians. They have the effects of clearing heat and toxins, relieving irritability and thirst, and promoting bowel movements. They are used for ailments like restlessness, thirst, constipation, jaundice, dysentery, pyogenic infections, heat-induced urinary dysfunction, red eyes, lack of lactation, and carbuncles. Those with spleen deficiency and diarrhea should consume it cautiously.
Sweet and Sour Garlic
Soak several garlic cloves in sugar and vinegar for more than a month. Eat six cloves of garlic daily along with 20ml of the sugar and vinegar solution. Continue for a month. This remedy is suitable for stubborn hypertension.
Walnut Peanut Corn Porridge
Ingredients: Corn grits, walnut kernels, peanuts as needed.
Directions: Cook all the ingredients together with adequate water until it turns into porridge. Simmer on low heat until ready.
Walnuts are rich in phosphorus and linoleic acid, which can nourish the brain and nerves and prevent arteriosclerosis. Peanuts are rich in amino acids and unsaturated fatty acids that are beneficial for the heart, reducing the risk of heart disease. Corn is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic acid, which aids in the normal metabolism of body fats and cholesterol, reduces cholesterol deposition in blood vessels, and softens arterial vessels.
Lotus Flower Hemp Tea
Lotus flower hemp tea contains flavonoids that enhance the flexibility and elasticity of blood vessels, reduce serum cholesterol, prevent fat deposition in blood vessels, and the tannic acid in tea can suppress high blood pressure, helping hypertensive patients to lower their blood pressure. It effectively prevents and removes fats and impurities in blood vessels, keeping vessels clear, thereby lowering blood pressure and cholesterol and preventing high blood pressure and high blood lipids.
Recommended usage: Lotus flower hemp chrysanthemum tea
10g of lotus flower hemp tea, 9g of chrysanthemum, put in a pot with 500-600ml of water, boil for about 10 minutes, add 300-400ml of water, simmer for 3-5 minutes, drink three cups a day. After six weeks, blood pressure can decrease by 7%. This is due to the phytochemicals in the specially provided lotus flower hemp tea.
