A simple, delicious (some say) herb that is used in cuisines of almost every country around the globe is found, yet again, to be a wonderful weapon in the fight to end stubbornly high blood pressure.<\/p>\n
Garlic, which is used in practically every type of diet from vegan to carnivorous, was recently proven again to be effective in reducing high blood pressure for a group of study participants at the University of Adelaide in Australia.<\/p>\n
While ingesting natural, raw garlic in food sources has historically been the most effective in making use of the tremendous anti-oxidant power of the bulb, the study showed that taking it in supplement form as a capsule of dried powder was also effective.<\/p>\n
The researchers looked at 80 participants whose blood pressure was considered to be \u201cmedication resistant\u201d and found that the group who took a placebo had no change in their blood pressure during the course of the study. <\/p>\n
The group who took the garlic supplement, however, saw a drop of a whopping 12 mm\/Hg systolic on average, which is more than many people see even when they take medication.<\/p>\n
