My partner has high blood pressure; what can help?

In conjunction with treatment from the GP he/she may find it useful to use Lemon Essential Oil in a burner or on a lamp ring.

This is the historic treatment. Massage has been proven in clinical trials to reduce blood pressure but lemon can irritate some sensitive skins. As a change try using Lavender and Geranium for ladies, Sandalwood and Bergamot for men in 2 drops in a tablespoonful of Almond Oil or Olive Oil.

These are relaxing Oils compared to lemon, which is often used more as a stimulant. However, they should help reduce anxiety and encourage relaxation, both of which are important in helping reduce blood pressure.
