In Egypt, where hibiscus tea has been consumed since the time of the Pharaohs, it is pretty much taken as fact that it reduces blood pressure. It’s the first thing people say when they find out I have high blood pressure.

You can find hibiscus tea everywhere here. My grandparents always have some iced hibiscus in the fridge — it really quenches the thirst during the hot summers.

Good day, Iggy.

I think beetroot juice is another good option for naturally lowering BP.

The full text of a recent beetroot/BP study is now available online at:

Breathing exercises are an even better alternative since they help us to simply breathe more efficiently – like we should be doing anyway.

Taurine appears to have other benefits beyond it’s antihypertensive properties. I believe Bill Sardi recommends it for raising HDL cholesterol.

Be well!

I tried taurine and hibiscus, and while they helped, it wasn’t until I added red beet crystals that I got a big drop. Then I was prescribed terazosin to relax my prostate and that lowered my BP even more. Now, if I breath correctly, my BP is just about always in the favorable range…the 1teens/sixtish. I probably don’t need them all, but I continue with the taurine, hibiscus, beet, and terazosin. The drug also helps me sleep well.

You’re very welcome, Kevin.

Remember that prevention is the best “cure”. Take good care of yourself!

Be well!
