The best non-medication treatments for high blood pressure are diet (eg. DASH Diet), exercise and weight loss. These very effective measures, when applied consistently, reliably produce significant reductions in blood pressure, blood cholesterol and blood sugar. The effectiveness of herbal supplements and other "alternative" measures for these conditions have not been studied adequately enough for a sound recommendation to be made. LBCCR is committed to sound scientific investigation and has participated in several studies of food supplements in treating hypertension.
