The force with which heart pumps the blood into the arteries is known as blood pressure. It can increase due to stress, which is a very common cause these days, obesity, high intake of sodium and hormonal changes in women. If untreated, it can lead to heart disease, strokes, injury to the brain and eyes and kidney failure. Hence, maintaining blood pressure at a normal level is very important.

The best way to regulate blood pressure is through natural remedies. Some of these simple ways are:

1.    Garlic has been known to be quite effective for treating high blood pressure. You can either chew or swallow a clove of garlic with water on an empty stomach daily and notice the favourable changes. You can also take garlic rolled in raisins.
