Horsetail Extract Lowers Blood Pressure?

I'm always intruigued when I read these kind of articles in the newspapers.

Horsetail extract is a new chinese herb approach to lowering blood pressure -well, not new exactly because I'm sure it's been around for hundreds of years - but newly promoted for blood pressure problems to us western types.

As always with these kind of products the hard science research doesn't seem to be there but the anecdotal reports are good.

Not sure if I would try it myself - it's just me but I'm always a bit concerned about the side effects of this kind of treatment. You read so much about so called harmless herb preparations turning out to be a major problem - albeit only for a few.

Anyway - if you've used it or plan to try it then leave a comment and share share.

Thanks again

Herbs to lower high blood pressure

I have to be honest and say that I focussed my efforts mostly on the stuff in Frank's Blood Pressure Secrets pack and there wasn't too much focus on herbs or herbal treatments.

But I've been asked a lot since so - for the sake of all you blog readers out there - here's my brief list of herbs that have been shown to reduce your blood pressure levels.

Actually, I forgot .... I did use one herbal supplement called Lycomato - a powerful tomato extract that helped me when I first started on my blood pressure reduction program. Now that I'm slimmer and more active I find that I don't really need it any more.

Anyways .... here's the list:

• Arjuna Bark
• Black Cumin Seeds
• Forskolin
• Garlic
• Maitake

Now - I ain't gonna pretend I'm any sort of expert on this because I'm not. Garlic is a fairly obvious one on the list and you can get it from any pharmacy or even from the supermarket as an odorless capsule. As for the others I'm not so sure but if you want to try then best go see a herbal specialist or do some google checking.

Hope that helps

Check out Franks site for the details of his current Blood Pressure Secrets Pack - I think the newest edition does have a section on how to use herbal remedies. He always goes with what's been proven to work and is excellent at stripping away all the sales pitch BS that some websites subject you to. Frank's big thing is his honest desire to help without ripping you off in any way.
