As part of a natural treatment for blood pressure issues, you should of course first inform your treating physician. Then, everything will depend on the person, their age, and their treatment, in order to avoid any interaction.
However, as a general rule, there is one food known for lowering blood pressure: garlic. Don't hesitate to include it in dishes, salads, or, for the most determined, eat it plain! Today you can even find pharmaceutical garlic capsules.
In addition, black seed also has benefits for arterial health. A small teaspoon of the oil in the morning and one in the evening, alone or with honey, will be beneficial.
There is also a Chinese mushroom known for lowering blood pressure: shiitake.
Finally, there is a little-known fruit called "noni," which is very beneficial for blood pressure. It can be found in syrup form.
What the science says: hypertension
Here is what published research says about the remedies mentioned above, for context — these studies address material causes, while healing belongs to Allah.
Hypertension
Garlic (J Nutr, 2016), magnesium (Hypertension, 2025), olive leaf (Phytomedicine, 2011), and pomegranate juice (Phytother Res, 2023) modestly lower blood pressure according to meta-analyses; reducing salt, reaching a healthy weight, walking, and sleep remain the main levers.
