My Aunt is 85 weights about 102 pounds, and she is a smoker. She is a strong woman and as I have said before, she can tie her own shoes. The only medicine she is on is blood pressure medicine. When my aunt had a complaint of being dizzy, I took her pressure it was 154 over 93. Her heart rate was 144!
I had her to do the breathing exercises and gave her a magnesium supplement, which helped to lower her pressure and got her heart rate down to 100. However when she arose the next day we had to fight the same battle with heart rates of 138,119,133. Her heart rate would go down with the breathing exercises and slowing creep back up.
She woke up the third morning with a fast heart rate of 144 once again, however her blood pressure was 130/89. But I said this means war! I remembered that in 2020 we used to give her cayenne pepper capsules, this kept her normally high blood pressure on the low side. When she ran out we did not continue it. Someone needed to be there to monitor it. So remembering cayenne pepper, I got the hot sauce bottle out of the cabinet. I put about two tablespoons in a half cup of water with a spoon of molasses. She said this is bitter. So I added a half teaspoon of sugar and she drank the mixture down. Ten minutes later, I took her pressure again, it was 146/84 with a heart of 79. Seventy-nine what a big drop from 144.
Before the day was over her blood pressure went down to 120/66. We took her to the doctor the same day, they gave her an EKG. The doctor said her heart rate was good, but that he would order more test. A week later without giving her anymore cayenne pepper her heart rate was still in the safe zone below 100, her blood pressure has remained good so far as well. So a now and then dose of Cayenne Pepper will be what we use for Auntie.

Here is what I think I know. You will live better if you eat well. Food is the Rx that old timey doctors knew about. The short cut way will not work. I thank the Lord daily for another day. But, it is going through my mind that I may need to just go. I love my Tractor Driver and want her taken care of. I am now a burden on her. I know . She has to bend over when I can't. That hurts my feelings. I am the man. Don't sweat my program. I have a plan to get me a few more years. That is EECP, if I can pull it off. This is a mechanical system that pushes blood through your heart as if you were excerising. FDA does not like it because they can make more money with Rx . That's the way they are. ====ORH=====

I would personally not suggest quitting your meds cold turkey. I think I would try adding some cayenne and monitoring the results and then begin to wean off meds. Are you able to monitor your BP at home? This way you would be able to try and make your switch over gradually and safely.
Since the goal would be to take 1 teaspoon of cayenne daily, try 1/3 teaspoon in some water or juice once a day for a few days. If it makes your BP go lower, you could perhaps reduce your meds some. However, since Cayenne is normalizing to the circulatory system, it may not actually make your BP too low. If you get up to 1 teaspoon per day with no changes, then go ahead and begin to reduce the meds. Just go gradually. Reduce one medicine by 25 % for a few days, then 50% for a few days, etc.
Also, as you increase the cayenne, I would take it in divided does. Start with 1/3 teaspoon per day. Then 1/3 teaspoon twice a day, then 1/3 teaspoon there times a day. Perhaps for convenience you could move to 1/2 teaspoon twice a day.
Meanwhile, keep reading Earth Clinic stories as to how others have used diet and other things to control and solve BP problems.
I am not a doctor, just going by our own experience with using natural medicines.
Let us know how it goes!

Prior to being diagnosed with much, I had the hot powder near my bed, just in case. It can give energy, so experiment before taking at bedtime.
To Ash from India, the buttermilk may be the culprit. If I eat too much fat or bread, even sweets, my heart can feel like it's going to beat out of my chest.
Dr. Schulze was a student of Dr. Christopher, so he carried on the cayenne and/or African bird pepper legacy. The latter is hotter.
Dr. Schulze sells both liquid and powder, both usually rated between 250,000 and 500,000 heat units. At least they were when I worked there. His products are pricey but well worth it.
African Bird pepper however beinga single ingredient can be bought from other reputable herb suppliers. I buy an organic pound at a time.
To all, if the heat doesn't work, diet will. I've learned much thanks to two birth defects.

This definitely has made an immediate difference in my blood pressure readings. Within an hour or two of taking a 500 mg. capsule, my Systolic reading went from 147 to 109. My Diastolic reading went from 72 to 57. My pulse rate went from 98 to 79. That was yesterday. I took another capsule with breakfast this morning. I just took my first reading today around 4 pm. today. It was 112/62/72. I can't believe how quickly and effectively this worked for me!

Greetings from HisJewel
I used hot sauce. I poured about two tablespoons of hot sauce in a half cup of water and stirred in a teaspoon of molasses to regulate my aunt's heart rate. I was in fighting mode because of the stubbornness of her heart rate. Others may want to start with a tablespoon. Please take note of the effect of hot sauce on her blood pressure. Take notice that after drinking the hot sauce drink the top number went up first before it went down. Before blood pressure 130/89 with heart rate 144, After the drink blood pressure 146/84 heart rate 79. By the evening, her blood pressure was 120/66. That is just something to watch for. With all of that said and done balance your electrolytes as well as you can.
Strong coffee gives me heart palpitations; also dehydration can cause heart palpitations. When I used to do extensive fasting (3 days and 3 nights, no food and no water, sometimes I would get heart palpitations from lack of fluids and the electrolytes they bless us with.
Read about electrolytes in the following article:

It is cayenne pepper that I would use.
If you master only one herb in your life, master cayenne pepper. It is more powerful than any other.
Dr. Christopher believed that cayenne was one of the finest foods for the heart. He wrote: "I have used cayenne so many times over the years with such success. We have been called out time after time on heart attack cases. Cayenne always saves them."
In 35 years of practice, and working with people and teaching, I have never, on house calls, lost one heart attack patient. The reason is, whenever I go in, if they are still breathing, I pour down them a cup of cayenne tea (a teaspoon of cayenne in a cup of hot water.) Usually, within minutes, they are up and around.
Cayenne is one of the fastest-acting aids we could give to the heart. It feeds the heart immediately. Most hearts are suffering from malnutrition because of the processed food we are eating.
But, cayenne is a powerful dose of real food. It is something that has brought people back time after time. This is something that everyone should know about, since a heart attack can come to your friends, loved ones and even yourself ? at any time.
I received an emergency call in the middle of the night. A woman in Salt Lake City had just suffered a severe heart attack and passed out.
I rushed over and fed the woman hot cayenne tea. Within minutes, she was sitting up feeling fine. The hot cayenne tea is faster-acting than tablets, capsules or cold tea. The warm tea opens up the cell structure and makes it expand and accept the cayenne that much faster. It goes directly to the heart through the arterial system and feeds it a powerful food.
(Quoted from the book titled "Curing with Cayenne" by Dr. Richard Schulze, Medical Herbalist)

we would recommend using silver needle white tea, as the taste is great combined with the kombucha, champagne-like, and it has the more anti-oxidants than black or green tea. thanks, Maria

Ginger Tea with garlic water will also address the inflammation involved with HBP issues. Using all (3) will give you the long term results you're looking for.

Not a dumb question at all...here is what I was thinking...if you get up to the 1 teaspoon dosage of cayenne with no changes, you won't know until you start weaning from meds if it is contributing to a stable BP number. (Since cayenne is a normalizing herb, it might not lower it further. People respond differently to things....so there isn't a one size fits all solution to most problems.) If you get to 1 teaspoon a day and start weaning from meds and your BP goes up, you will know that cayenne is not the solution for you. At that point, you would just want to continue the meds as you have been and perhaps look in to something else.
If the cayenne does reduce your BP before getting to the full dose, you could go ahead and start weaning. You just want to do all of this slowly (increase cayenne slowly, decrease meds slowly) so you don't have any dramatic changes happening.
I hope that makes sense.
Keep us posted!

However, the article .. .
Cayenne Pepper: Benefits, Nutrition, Uses, Recipes https://draxe.com/nutrition/cayenne-pepper-benefits/
explains .. .
"Studies indicate that the capsaicin in cayenne pepper helps to *clear away* artery-narrowing lipid deposits, and *dilates* arteries and blood vessels ... ."#
This means that Capsaicin opens up arteries & veins in different ways, thus allowing more blood to flow through them as a result... .
*This* is what improves blood flow ... *not* the narrowing of blood arteries & vessels (which is what causes blood pressure to *rise* & blood flow to *diminish*).

Arginine does not work for me either. I took 6 grams divided 3x a day for four whole months and still bl pr high. I am in age 60's now. Going to see a holistic md next wk. I was at the er last nite cuz my bl pr was 195/116. I was freaking out., and this is with a bl pr pill which I normally only take half. But a whole one does not work either. I am trying the Apple Cider Vinegar now and will buy some beets and just eat one raw.

From my observation, Cayenne increases the Blood Flow, increasing blood flow is initiated by increasing the blood pressure. IMHO, cayenne is not the right herb or food for High Pressure. There are many reasons for High Pressure Mineral Imbalance, Increased Fat in Body, In many cases the body increases itself the pressure so as to maintain the balance and blood flow. If mineral Imbalance is the cause of your blood pressure then take Prune Water which I mentioned in the HBP page. However, if you want to try Cayenne It won't hurt, try from little 1/4 th tsp in a glass of water one time a day. Simultaneously, monitoring your pressure in Home. Good Health
