Hi, yes, there are tons of “natural” approaches to HTN. Some of the more “natural-est” approaches is lifestyle modification. The answer is not always to do something extra, but to sometimes take a step back and perhaps reconsider some of the current practices and make adjustments at the most fundamental layers first.

The big players? Food. Drink. Exercise. Sleep.

The Basics:

Food: low salt diet

Drink: energy drinks are all bad for blood pressure. *Key Rec* don’t underestimate the influence from Alcohol.

Exercise/Sleep: goes without saying that these are important.

Hope that helps
