Research results suggest that certain foods and dietary supplements, including cocoa, garlic, fish oil (omega-3 fatty acids), flaxseed, green or black tea, probiotics, and the herb roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa), may help reduce blood pressure in people who have high blood pressure (hypertension).

However, the evidence that these products can lower blood pressure is limited, and the effects of the products on blood pressure are small. No natural product has been shown to have effects comparable to those of drugs used to treat hypertension.

If you have high blood pressure, follow the treatment plan prescribed by your health care provider. Don’t take natural products in place of your prescribed treatment.
