Recently a family member of mine was taken off of her blood pressure medication in order to lessen her daily intake of meds. This brought up a good question – Are there any essential oils that will help keep her calm, and in turn keep her blood pressure down the natural way? Of course there are!
I did a little research, and I would like to share my findings with you. Below you will find a number of essential oils that will aid in keeping your blood pressure at a healthy level.
All of these essential oils have a relaxing/sedative quality.
- Marjoram
- Lavender
- Ylang Ylang
- Clary Sage
- Melissa
Alternatively, these essential oils are known to have a stimulant effect so you should avoid: Rosemary, Hyssop, Sage and Thyme.
Preferably, a couple drops of the essential oil can be applied to your wrists, rubbed into the soles of your feet or added to your bath. There are others ways to obtain the benefits of essential oils, see the Application Guide for options.
There is no easy fix, but these essential oils combined with a low sodium, low caffeine and low fat diet, will help keep your blood pressure levels down.
So there you have it, I hope this information will be useful to you, and I also hope that essential oils will help you and your family in the near future. Please let me know if you’ve had any other experiences with natural remedies to keeping your blood pressure down, I would to hear of them! Until then….
