If you would like to try herbal remedies for your hypertension, ask your doctor first. This is especially important if you are on any kind of prescription or over the counter medications. Even herbs which are considered safe and well-tolerated may cause dangerous interactions. If your doctor is unable to provide you with the information you need regarding herbal remedies, you may need to consult a naturopath who has been trained in the use of medicinal herbs. Naturopaths cannot diagnose conditions or prescribe medication. They can, however, make recommendations about foods and herbs for various conditions. Tags: Herbal Remedies High Blood Pressure
