Non-Pharmacological Methods to Lower Blood Pressure
Every set of hypertension guidelines recommends that all individuals with elevated blood pressure begin and sustain lifestyle modifications, either as definitive or adjunctive therapy for their condition. Since most pharmacists are intensively involved in the ongoing care of hypertensive patients, but typically have received little background or training about the non-drug therapies that can lower BP, it may be useful to review some of the recent data about various modalities that can be useful.
