Traditional Home Remedies for High Blood Pressure

High Blood PressureHigh blood pressure (Hypertension) is a medical condition in which the arterial blood pressure is elevated. Due to this the heart has to work harder than normal to circulate blood through the blood vessels. The more blood your heart pumps and the narrower your arteries, the higher your blood pressure.

The common factors that lead to high blood pressure are chaotic lifestyle, lack of physical activity, obesity, tobacco consumption, excessive alcohol intake, prolonged periods of stress and anxiety, excessive sodium and/or low potassium intake in the diet, or a family history of high blood pressure. Hypertension can also be caused by kidney disease, hormonal disorders, thyroid disease, adrenal gland disease, and the use of oral contraceptives.
