High Blood Pressure, HBP, HTN, HPN, Hypertension--

There isn't a single health issue that I get more inquiries on than
Hypertension.
So Am I an expert on Hypertension?
I'm not a doctor, but I did suffer a massive hemorrhagic stroke in
2006. It nearly killed me and I've become very acquainted with HBP its
causes, diagnosis and prevention ever since. My stroke was caused by
moderately high blood pressure in combination with a rare condition of
my adrenal gland that causes occasional spikes in Blood pressure. I
had such a spike in June of 2006 that shot my Systolic reading to well
over 200.
The question of High Blood Pressure and Essential oils is a hard wire
to walk for several reasons.
* High Blood Pressure is a serious condition.If you have HPB you
are likely working toward future heart disease.You are probably
playing Russian rulet with the possibility of Stroke. And diabetes is
already a concern or right around the corner.
* Seriously High blood pressure is something that you should be
seeing your doctor about.And my experience is that if it is elevated
to a dangerous level, you need medication like Beta blockers, or Ace
inhibitors.These have can have serious side effects, but the
alternative is more dangerous.
* There are many different causes, types and conditions
surrounding hypertension.It is nearly impossible to identify one or
more essential oil and say that "this oil" (universally) can help with
hypertension.In fact, I left rehabilitation with prescriptions for 8
different medications to regulate and normalize my blood pressure, and
I know take 1.I attribute my efforts to get off prescription
medications to;
1. Weight loss and dietary change
2. Exercise
3. doTerra's supplements
4. No more table salt or high sodium products and a reductive use
of only sea salt or whole mineral salt.
5. Daily use of certain essential oils.
I would highly recommend that any one with elevated blood pressure use
all of these efforts, accepting #5. The essential oils that I use may
not be what will help someone else.
This still leaves many things that a person can do to help their
hypertension. The dangerous thing about our society today is that many
people have a lifestyle and habits that they are unwilling to change
in the name of health. They would rather "take a pill" than make a
change. I know people that are diabetic or borderline diabetic but
still drink outrageous amount of soda pop, or diet soda pop which can
raise A1C levels even more! You must decide to make necessary changes
in your life style if needed.
What I can recommend as a long time essential oil user, and as someone
that depends on essential oils to control hypertension is to;
1. Make dietary and exercise changes in your life that make a
healthy body a priority. This may take time, for some… years. But it
is by far the best step you can take towards normalized blood
pressure. There are many sources that can teach you foods that are
best for elevated pressure. Take advantage of these. If you smoke or
drink alcohol, stop. It's one of the worst things you can do for
elevated blood pressure. Remove high fat, fried, high fructose corn
syrup products and carbonated drinks completely from your diet.
2. Exercise daily. Park a few blocks from work. Get a dog and walk
it daily. Go for a walk with a son, daughter or spouse every night
after dinner.
3. Use doTerra's supplements daily.
4. Use a reduced amount of quality sea salt or whole mineral salt
for seasoning foods.
5. Find essential oils that are effective at reducing high blood
pressure for YOU. This will take testing, and patience. You need a BP
Cuff. You should have one anyway. As you try a new essential oil or
blend, take your BP before and after intervals. Try 5 min, 1 hr, 8 hrs
and 16 hrs. Try applying hourly, every 8 hrs and every 24 hours. Keep
a record of your results.
The following are a list of essential oils that have historically been
used to help regulate high blood pressure. There are also some
"blends" that some have been successful using. And finally, I've
included the blend that I personally use with success, again keeping
in mind that causes of my hypertension are considered rare.
Recommended applications include several drops applied with massage to
the bottom of the feet, wrists, along the breast bone, massage over
the heart, to the carotidal arteries and back of the neck. Also
diffusion might be effective, and adding the oil or blend to a bath
(agitating the water often).
