High blood pressure (Hypertension) is when the force of the blood pushing against the artery walls is consistently too high, this will cause the heart to work harder. Let's explore some ways you can manage your blood pressure. 

Note:- If taking medication please DO NOT take anything the same time as your medication and consult your doctor before trying anything!! Not intended to diagnose or treat any condition!

Limiting salt - Although salt itself is not the culprit and it is essential to good health, the 'amount' of salt intake isn't! Salt holds water in our system causing edema (water retention) making the kidneys work harder, this added water puts pressure on the heart, so by limiting salt intake you can improve heart health and lower blood pressure.

Celery - Contains a compound that has been found to lower blood pressure by eating 4-6 ribs of celery per day.

Dandelion Leaf - Boost your potassium intake, the body needs potassium to help regulate its ph and normalize blood pressure. Dandelion leaves are a rich source of natural potassium, it has a mild diuretic action and work as a kidney tonic, relieving pressure on the heart.

Garlic/Onions - Is among the most effective for normalizing blood pressure. Garlic can be use raw, in capsule or liquid form.

Motherwort - Has been used in Europe for centuries to strength the heart. It is classified as a nervine heart tonic to calm stress and anxiety as well as heart palpitation cause by stress and anxiety, it is relaxing and opens the vascular system which aids in blood circulation and lowering blood pressure.

Linen flower - Is a heart tonic with an affinity for the nervous system, it is especially useful as a preventive for heart palpitations associate with stress and hypertension. 

Herbal Tea - Try High Blood Pressure Tea from Loraine Patisserie, comes package in tea bags for easy use.

Some other foods that will help to lower high blood pressure are - Nut seed oils. Coldwater fish like salmon and mackerel. Green leafy vegetables. Whole grains and legumes. Food rich in Vit C like broccoli and citrus fruits. Foods rich in flavonoids like berries, cherries, grapes and red kidney beans.

Exercise - Create an effective exercise routine! First realize the importance of physical exercise. Consult your physician. Select an activity you can enjoy (bicycling, dancing, gardening, golfing, heavy housecleaning, jogging, stair climbing, stationary bike, swimming, tennis, treadmill, walking or weightlifting). Monitor your exercise intensity. Do it often. Make it fun and stay motivated.

  Pâtisserie Loraine Beauty Inside Out Digestive Tea Sluggish digestion is a widespread issue, often due to our hectic lifestyles. Individuals who are nervous or anxious may be more prone to sluggish digestion. The digestive system requires ample blood flow to function optimally; however, eating on the move or during a stressful job can deprive it of the necessary energy and circulation. Resting both body and mind after eating is crucial for aiding the digestive process. While a half-hour rest post-meal is beneficial, it may not be feasible with busy work schedules. In such cases, drinking a digestive tea with meals can be helpful.
