Natural Diuretic..

[bhumik]

Is there any strong natural diuretic that are effective?? are they safe and can you take them long term, and then discontinue them.? I just want to get the BP a bit lower and also the bloat reduced. ANd yes i have tried overdosing on water, cutting out salt, eating clean, but nothing is working or is as effective to the point that I want it to be.

Thanks

bp --> aspirin and coq10

drink a ton of tea. I like mixing diffrent kinds. green black and madarin is my favorite.

do not decrease sodium unless it is very high... keep it moderate.
water needs to be 'average' as in 1 gallon per day (water, and not total fluids)
good natural diuretics are:
dandelion root
Uva Ursi
vitamin C
green tea

I suffer from hypertension also... the best thing you can do is keep a good diet, keep fat off and not get too heavy... and the no.1 thing that kept my bp around the normal range was daily cardio (not high intensity, but just something that'll take your BPM to 130-140)

hope that helps

do u use dandellion root, or uva ursi?? if so do you use all the herbs togather. Currently i use 2 g of VIT c a day. should i add the other three compounds?

bp --> aspirin and coq10

as far as i know aspirin will do nothing for bp. classified as a non opioid analgesic, antipyretic... coq10 may slightly reduce it. not many reliable studies on it.

i'd recommend you go to a doc. they have great bp meds that work. so many problems with taking the supplement route. people think they're healthier going the herbal route but often these things lack effectiveness, research, reliable dosage, safety, etc. modern pharmacology under supervision of a doctor is the way to go, no question

dandelion tea worked well for me, with lots of Vitamin C.

you had any health checks or bloods.
I had mildy elevated blood pressure. turned out my kidneys were suffering massive damage even though my blood showed normal.
Get it investigated first would be my advice (apologies if you already have)

High water + low/no sodium & high potassium = water retention

I agree with buselmo, don't reduce sodium too much when you increase water.

High doses vit C spread out during the day work well.

you are right. pharmaceutical option is the best option. its just tht its borderline. and sometimes its 120, sometimes 138. I know BP meds work but I think they are for life, and I just dont want to jump on something for life just yet. I am only 23.

what do u mean. How should i get it checked, i have done BUN and creatinine and it was normal. is there any other check you are refering too??

thanks

all docs give for high blood pressure is a diuretic, much safer to change ur diet, and do cardio
