    Well, yes.

    The first and most obvious remedies are to get enough sleep, not get stressed about so much, eat right, exercise to be healthy, and pray/meditate every day. The best thing I can recommend is to start a 'gratitude journal'- every day, write down something you noticed that you're grateful for. That goes a longer way towards being happy than anything else I know. (See a cute song about this from VeggieTales- sung by ... somebody... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y5_obQsN6g)

    Other than that, there are a number of herbs that can make a difference. The following is from http://www.herballegacy.com/Blood_Pressure.html :

    "High Blood Pressure: With high blood pressure, cholesterol and mucus form a sludge within the body. Avoid the mucus-forming foods and take herbs that act as a solvent by liquefying impurities such as cayenne, garlic or sassafras. Take cayenne, working up to a teaspoon three times a day. This increases the power of the heart and corrects the circulation problems. Garlic in copious amounts will bring down high blood pressure. Pure tomato juice is very good as a nutritional and a medicinal herb. Wheat germ oil is excellent for feeding the heart and helps cut the cholesterol and smoothens its removal from the area. Avoid the use of liquor and tobacco, do not keep late hours, and avoid over-tiredness and worry. There is an intricate inter-relationship between ones living habits and his body condition."

    3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.
