A member asked:
Are there any herbal supplements which can help to control high blood pressure with regular medication prescribed by doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends...: Studies have shown that both garlic and pomegranate extract have the ability to lower blood pressure. However there is a chance that they can interact with BP medication and other medications. The most common interaction is duplicating the BP lowing effects of the medication and causing the BP to be too low. It is important to consult with your physician before taking any herbal supplements.
