High Blood Pressure Help

[Moorbey]

I have high blood pressure and take an assortment of medications to help with it. But i am not happy with all the drugs. So i am asking for suggestions for teas or anything that can help lower my blood pressure and start to cut back on some of the meds that my doctor prescribes.
I heard that i can make some kind of drink out lemon grass and that helps to lower teh blood pressure.

Hawthorn, cayeene, potassium, and garlic. Hawthorn is an herb, it can be prepared as a tea or digested in pill form. You can steep with garlic, cayeene, and honey. Purchase a salt subsitute that has more potassium than it does sodium. You can usually find this within the same area as the regular salt in the market. In general you want to make sure you are getting enough potassium and reducing salt intake. Also excersise. Im not sure what ingrediants are in the lemon grass tea, other then lemon grass but I have head of it. You can't go wrong making the lemond grass with cayeene and garlic, sweetened with honey or mapple. In general, you want your foods to carry more potassium then sodium and increase vegetables and fruits in your diet.

I don't think you should be having sea salt until you get the BP under control. I suggest that salt because it lowers blood preasure; it actually has sodium but only a small portion, the rest is potassium.
