This oil + another oil = your systolic blood pressure drops by 14 points.
And by the way, blending these 2 oils will do more for your health, too.
For example: they can lower your LDL cholesterol by 26%. Imagine that!
What’s more, these 2 cooking oils – which you can easily find – are also really tasty. It just keeps getting better, doesn’t it?
Many experts recommend cooking with healthy oils to lower high blood pressure. Imagine how wonderful it’d be if using certain oils was almost as effective as blood pressure medications! A research conducted in India has shown how a blend of two oils can have an impressive effect on lowering blood pressure.
The research group has identified how a combination of rice bran oil and sesame oil can work as well as blood pressure medications and presented their findings in the American Heart Association’s scientific session on high blood pressure research.
The group conducted a two-month study in New Delhi, India on 300 men and women with mild to moderately high blood pressure. The average age of the participants was 57.
The participants were divided into 3 groups – the first group received only a blood pressure-lowering medication (Nifedipine) that acts as calcium channel blocker. The second group was recommended the oil blend and the third group used a combination of oil blend and the medication.
The participants used about an ounce of the oil for cooking every day.
The results were simply amazing. All the participants showed a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure. Those who used the medication, showed a decrease in systolic pressure of about 16 points. The group that used only the oil blend showed a decrease in 14 points. The group that used a combination of medications and oil blend showed a 36-point drop.
The diastolic blood pressure also improved dramatically. A 12 points decrease was observed in the group that took medication, 11 points in those who tried the oil blend and 24 points in the group that used the combination.
But here is the most interesting part of the research – the oils did something better that the medications failed to do! It caused a drop in LDL cholesterol level by about 26 percent and a 9.5 percent increase in HDL level. No such effect was observed in those who took only the medication.
It is believed that all the beneficial effects are due to the healthy fatty acids and antioxidants present in the oils such as sesamin, sesamol, sesamolin and oryzanol.
There are other ways to lower your blood pressure, too.

And the two oils are???????
I really get annoyed when you don’t provide the information without sending us somewhere else to get it; or, just as bad, require us to view something else first.
Provide the information or don’t bother, because I simply drop out as soon as you want me to look elsewhere.
It’s a bit like the upside down brochures you get from stores – I just chuck them out. Same logic – make it all readable without gymnastics or don’t bother.
where can we buy rice bran oil,even sesame oil is rarely available in grocery stores
Martin: Paragraph 6 “The research group has identified how a combination of rice bran oil and sesame oil”
Which, Christino, are both available in most supermarkets. But if you can’t find it in your local market, try your local health food store or even the Internet. You can even get them on Amaszon.com
Where these Two oil rice bran oil & sesame oil are available in market Kindly Advise
What are the proportions of the blend? Like others, I would like to see all of the information in your messages. I don’t always have time to go to multiple places to get the information and often those other sites are not available or cannot be accessed. However I would expect the oils to be available at a natural foods/organic food store.
Martin, they did name them above: Secsame oil & rice bran oil.
Cristina: ask Uncle Google … many online shops will carry them. I’m off to check Amazon.
Spelling corrections: sesame oil
And Cristino, not Cristina. 🙂
I don’t know why am still looking at these posts. Undocumented, unprofessional! Where is your ethics Mr Goodman if that is your real name.
These oils ricebran and sesame oil are available in the stores all over india
I agree with Martin!!!!!!
Good old olive oil is the best.

Well I found out that the two oils are Rice Bran Oil and Sesame Oil. But it says to blend them….do you just mix equal parts together and then use 1 ounce. I read to use 1 ounce.
OK, i JUST WENT TO AMAZON.COM AND SEARCHED FOR THESE 2 OILS FOR COOKING(because they also sell oils for your skin) THEY HAD BOTH SO I JUST ORDERED THEM AND THEY WILL ARRIVE OCT. 17.
why would anyone go to India for oil or anything else?
In the study, they used rice bran oil and sesame oil. The participants used about an ounce of the oil for cooking every day. Half an ounce of each oil.
Now. The more complicated part. I’m often pressed, as some of the comments to this article did, about “how much EXACTLY should you use of this or that ingredient?”.
You see, natural health is not a detailed science. Whereas the difference between one or two pills of many medicine can make a huge difference (in effects and site effects), the difference between consuming one or two ounces of oil blend is not going to be huge.
The same goes for almost all natural “cures”. That’s one reason Big Pharma hates them because you can’t pattern and sell them. Drinking beet juice, for example, has been proven to lower blood pressure. Some studies use 250 ml others use 100 ml others use different amount. The point is that beet juice is good for you.
You may see other studies in the future follow up on rice bran oil and sesame oil using different amount. Some may use it for cooking, others may add it to a salad every day. The point is that rice bran oil and sesame oil seem to be very good for you compared to most used cooking oils.
Then we have contradicting studies of natural health. Getting contradicting message can be very frustrating. One shows that after cutting out salt, study participants lowered their blood pressure. Other shows that salt may not play a big role when it comes to blood pressure. Which are we supposed to believe? Well, here on BHHN, we try to report as many points of view as possible so you can make up your own mind. I personally believe when people cut out all salt, they’re cutting out a lot of other chemicals too from pre-prepared foods.
There are many things to keep in mind when deciding, which side you’re on. Studies use “average”. So maybe you’ve 100 people. Ten of them had salt-sensitivity and shot the results through the roof. For the remaining 90, there wasn’t a big difference. Often times even if we read the whole study results, this is not revealed.
Then you’ve studies funded by groups that have interest in the results. Even if they don’t directly influence the study, they may pick the researchers they believe will give them the right results. It’s quite easy to influence study results.
The main thing is however that Natural Health is more about general lifestyle changes than finding ONE solution to everything. It’s totally different approach from popping a pill.
Bulk Apothecary has rice bran oil in bulk at a really good price.
Well, it is a good thing for the comments below because this article does not mention the name of the oils only what is in them. They are talking about two oils and don't mention what they would be here in the US?
Good article
I like your helpful information ,thanks
Reading your article is good but a bit annoying when you do not tell us what the oils are. Castor oil and something else ? Could be a secret. Thank you anyway.
Great information that I’ll have to try!
Gosh we have to read this absolute rubbish to find that the two oils are not mentioned yet every other trick possible is used to extract money. Maybe the authors of this ‘ health’ web site should get real and join big pharma at least thes guys are honest enough about their intentions. Unsubscribe please!
I swear, most of the people who post on here obviously do not read your articles carefully. Rice bran oil and sesame oil, people! It’s in the second paragraph.
Thank you for the interesting article.
who do you think has time to scroll through pages of dialogue to get to the point, why don’t you just put it on page one?
Good addition to knowledge
Thank you Laurie.
Yes, we’ve several people commenting on missing info on which oils we’re talking about. Here is the exact paragraph listing these oils, right here on this page. 6th paragraph, words 9 to 14 – “rice bran oil and sesame oil”:
“The research group has identified how a combination of rice bran oil and sesame oil can work as well as blood pressure medications and presented their findings in the American Heart Association’s scientific session on high blood pressure ”
– Christian G
