None: None other than a low sodium diet, exercise and weight loss. Do not underestimate how important medication are in controlling BP and preventing heart attacks and strokes. Diets and weight loss often cannot do it by themselves.

There is also a lot of evidence that relaxation therapy can lower her blood pressure. These interventions may not eliminate the need for medication, but can lower the dose.
