Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Purchase a home blood pressure monitor to check your blood pressure regularly. Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a serious condition. It has a definite link to cardiovascular disease. If you have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, ask your local pharmacist to recommend a good home monitor.

  2. Step 2

    Realize that most mainstream, conventional doctors want to prescribe drugs to lower blood pressure. While drugs may be the only alternative that works for some people, drugs also come with side effects. If you can normalize blood pressure with apple cider vinegar, this natural route may be the way for you.

  3. Step 3

    Learn about the history and overall benefits of using apple cider vinegar. This simple, cheap liquid has been used for thousands of years. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, talked about the power of apple cider vinegar and used it often. It works as a natural antibiotic and antiseptic. It boosts the immune system. If you normalize your blood pressure with apple cider vinegar, you reap many other benefits as well.

  4. Step 4

    Start by putting 2 tsp. of apple cider vinegar in a pint of water. Drink this daily. Also try using apple cider vinegar with a little oil on your salads instead of salad dressing.

  5. Step 5

    Be prepared for the taste when drinking apple cider vinegar in water. It's probably not delicious to most people, but it's worth it to normalize your blood pressure. Try adding a spoonful of honey and using tepid water (to melt the honey).

Tips & Warnings
  • Don't go off of prescription drugs without checking with your doctor first. Monitor your blood pressure regularly to make sure the apple cider vinegar is working.
