High blood pressure is experienced by nearly 68 million adults in the United States alone — that’s 1 in 3 adults. But this has little occurrence among the Amish population. They live a very simple life that most of us no longer can recall. The Amish people follow an old and strict way of life which doesn’t allow conventional medicine.
Yet they are, however, staying in touch with nature and mostly use natural Amish remedies in order to treat their illness. They generally live in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana.
This Amish remedy for high blood pressure and high cholesterol has been used by Amish people for generations. They say that it can cure many diseases and improve the immune system.
They say that the combination of the following components is very strong and 100% effective.
Ingredients:
- 1 clove of grated garlic
- 1 piece of ginger (grated)
- 1 tsp. of honey
- 1 Tbsp. of apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. of lemon juice
Instructions:
Place all the ingredients in a blender and use high speed to mix them for half a minute. After that, strain the mixture and keep it in the fridge for 5 days.
How to use this?
Drink small amounts throughout the day, before every meal. If you can’t handle the taste, you can dilute the mix in a glass of water before drinking it.
What each ingredient does to our body?
Lemon
Lemon contains vitamin C, flavonoids, and dietary fiber, which have all been proven to lower cholesterol.It is a great remedy for hypertension as it softens blood vessels and makes them flexible such that they are not rigid. This helps keep the blood pressure low. The high amounts of Vitamin B found in lemons also helps prevent heart failure.
Garlic
Some research suggests that garlic increases the body’s production of nitric oxide, which helps the smooth muscles to relax and the blood vessels to dilate. These changes can reduce hypertension.
One study reported that garlic extract reduced both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive people. Raw garlic lowers triglycerides, glucose and cholesterol levels in the blood of mouse models. It can also help prevent atherosclerosis.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar mostly contains acetic acid. In one study, rats with high blood pressure were given vinegar over a long period of time. The study showed that the rats had a decrease in blood pressure and in an enzyme called renin. …
A similar study showed that the acetic acid might also help with calcium absorption . Apple cider vinegar helps lower your total cholesterol and triglyceride levels. In addition, it is a great home remedy for a number of ailments including acid reflux, high blood pressure, gout, upper respiratory infections, and others.
Honey
Blood pressure is an important risk factor for heart disease, and honey may help lower it. This is because it contains antioxidant compounds that have been linked to lower blood pressure. Studies in both rats and humans have shown modest reductions in blood pressure from consuming honey. It has a mild effect in protecting arteries against cholesterol build up.
Ginger
Ginger may help lower blood pressure, so you might experience lightheadedness as a side effect. Ginger also contains salicylates, the chemical in aspirin that acts as a blood thinner.
But again, you’d have to consume much more than the recommended 4 grams of ginger a day to experience that effect.Ginger lowers cholesterol and triglycerides levels in patients suffering from diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, nephrotic syndrome, and alcoholism.

On very rare occasions mine will run higher than normal for a week or so. It will go back down. In the meantime, use Resperate a lot and drink lots of beet juice.
