The most common diseases today are cardiovascular diseases. The problem is that pharmacies are filled with counterfeit drugs. The second problem is the side effects of pills. Many medications that lower high blood pressure cause complications in other organs or provide a short-term solution.
However, not everything is so scary because there are old, proven folk methods that can help deal with the ailment.
Effective procedures for lowering blood pressure at home:
Fill a basin or bucket with water, not too hot, around 37-40 °C. Immerse your feet in the water, and during the time until the water cools down, the pressure will drop by 15-20 mm. In case of varicose veins on the legs, steam your elbows!
To prevent a pre-stroke condition, soak wool socks in a 9% vinegar solution diluted with water in equal parts, put them on before bedtime, and wrap your feet with plastic bags.
Ordinary culinary cloves also help stabilize blood pressure. To do this, add 25 grams of cloves to a glass of broth and drink this infusion.
A hot water bottle applied to the calf muscles effectively reduces high blood pressure.
Include tasty and beneficial foods such as dried apricots, nuts, persimmons, and honey in your regular diet, and soon you will rely less on folk remedies to lower high blood pressure.
