Will eggplant water lower blood pressure?

One thing is certain - every body is different.

While one body might respond beautifully to pharmaceuticals, another may rebel by exhibiting nasty side-effects. That's why trying safe natural remedies is smart. We've read before about garlic as a treatment for high blood pressure, but today I have two more suggestions for you:

The first is eggplant water. The article I read told of a person who not only lowered her blood pressure, but dropped 7 pounds. She felt that in addition to lowering her blood pressure, the eggplant water was helping her insulin resistance, which had made it hard for her to shed pounds. Of course, shedding weight is often the way to lower blood pressure, so...?

In that article, the person was taking 60 ounces a day! So perhaps the water intake also played a role in dropping her blood pressure and making it easier to lose weight. Other references I found recommended only one ounce a day - quite a difference.

The recipe called for floating half a dozen thinly sliced pieces of eggplant on 2 or 3 quarts of water. I would assume you'd leave it overnight, or at least for a few hours, before drinking.

The next suggestion I found was for apple cider vinegar. The person whose story I read had started taking it as a sleep aid and got the side benefits of lowered blood pressure and an end to indigestion.

Finding more than one reference to suggest that apple cider vinegar lowers blood pressure, I also found a variation in recipes. While one person took just a tablespoon full in a tea that included a teaspoon of honey, others believed in either drinking one ounce straight or mixing an ounce in a couple of ounces of water.

Since neither eggplant nor vinegar offer harmful side-effects (unless you have an allergy), try one at a time and see if they give you the blood-pressure lowering benefits that they gave these other people.

Finding a way to eliminate pharmaceuticals and still maintain a healthy blood pressure could be the most beneficial thing you do for yourself this year!
