Hypertension is known as the silent disease because it often gives no warning signs or symptoms. Dr Rowan draws on medical findings to help you prevent high blood pressure, cope if it occurs and lower blood pressure through sensible natural means. He explains how to work with your doctor in developing a programme that suits your personality, age, physiology, weight and personal habits. Learn about: tests that indicate the presence of high blood pressure in the absence of symptoms; alternative techniques, from acupuncture to biofeedback to aromatherapy, that can relieve stress and lower blood pressure; natural hypertensive therapies, exercises and foods; perscriptions and other drugs which can affect blood pressure; and diet, including a month of helthy menus and dozens of quick-and-easy recipes.
