Naturopathic Remedies
Blast Hypertension!

About fifteen years ago, one of my nieces was so interested in naturopathic remedies that she considered becoming a naturopath. She didn't pursue that profession, but it got me to thinking, and I want to share my thoughts with you.

The theme for this site is lowering blood pressure naturally. As such, our Normal Blood Pressure Diet site is naturopathic.

Essentially, I'm presenting to you on these many pages recipes for hypertension, that is, natural cures for hypertension.

The goal is to use naturopathic remedies to help you achieve and maintain normal blood pressure.

Do you know what naturopathy is?

Naturopathy is a broad based alternative medical system based on the idea that the body has the ability to maintain and heal itself given the correct environment.

Let's consider our concern with high blood pressure.

Naturopathy would give us certain recipes for hypertension that would create the correct environment in the body that would lead to normal blood pressure.

Here are some methods use by naturopathic doctors to achieve this:

1. Various massage techniques.2. Electrical stimulation.3. Diet with a heavy emphasis on fresh and organic foods.4. Sometimes the use of herbs.5. Application of air, heat, water and sunshine to achieve beneficial surroundings during these other treatments.

Although naturopathic medical schools include training in psychological counseling, many doctors don't use it in their practice due to its general inefficacy.

Naturopathic remedies do not include the use of major surgery or medical drugs or other body damaging treatment.

Any treatment that would hinder the body from healing itself would not be used.

Would you like to go to such a doctor?

The core curriculum at accredited naturopathic medical colleges is acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, homeopathy, physical medicine, botanical medicine, nutrition and nature cure (therapies utilizing air, heat, water and sunshine).

In varying degrees, many other health care professionals, including physicians, chiropractors, dentists, acupuncturists, nurses, nutritionists, physical therapists and others, use these methods.

When health care professionals say they practice complimentary, or integrative, medicine, you will know that they use some naturopathic remedies.

But, there are many straight naturopathic doctors around with Doctor of Naturopathy degrees. Look up the American Naturopathic Association for guidance in the United States. For other countries, check the Internet for naturopathy in your country.

You can also heal yourself with the natural cures for hypertension found on this site. I recommend that you start with a normal blood pressure diet.
