Live healthy and long
I was informed recently that the parent of one of the acquaintances had very high blood pressure: 200/100 and the family was frantic and nervous.< It is a level 2 hypertension - the highest and dangerous - a stroke is just around the corner> How would you handle such a situation. The family had no cash for admission and when they called the hospital the requirement was a P10t deposit (you can not blame the owners; there are just too many who abscond with their hospital bills debt)
Well I suggested (after searching the net)
l. Relax
2. Breathe deeply
3. Put cold water on forehead and nape
4. Pressure point at the head, and at below eyebrow;
5. Drink fruit juice
6. Bring to er.
But they were not able to bring to the ER and had to bring to a doctor who prescribed a 3 in 1 anti hypertensive: probably a diuretic, a relaxant and a calcium blocker. They were able to bring systolic down to l50. Still a long way down to go.
For the long term what are the cheap/home cures:
l. Turmeric (yellow ginger tea)
2. Chewing raw garlic, one clove daily; or better juice the ginger (about l/4 cup daily)
Thanks God there was no CVA.
