Has anyone found that reducing or lowering caffeine has helped your high blood pressure?
My functional/integrative medicine doctor suggested this.
As any coffee drinker (habitual) knows, this is not easy.
I am also doing a Kundalini Yoga kriya which is said to reduce cortisol.
I have ordered ashawaghanda (adaptogen) which counters the effects of stress.
A friend of mine found that garlic + hawthorne + lots of exercise lowered his blood pressure.
I read that oil of oregano will also lower it. I tried taking it every day and it upset my stomach.
Would appreciate hearing from anyone what works for you...thanks

Be careful with ashwaganda, it may cause a serious liver damage.
There were cases that the damage occurred after only a week of using it.

It is difficult to standardize herbal supplements as the plants grow under different climatic, soil qualities and conditions; pests and plants diseases pressures.
So some plants may accumulate more of certain chemicals vs the others or have less of the bioactive compounds as a result.
Ashwaganda could potentially cause a serious harm; there is risk.
It is an older thread, but this advice could benefit some other people, perhaps
