Natural blood pressure remedy?

Is there any natural alternative to blood pressure pills that lower high blood pressure? My mum has severely high blood pressure and her blood pressure pills aren't working at all, and they give her terrible side effects.

 

Please be very careful with that. I decided that the natural method would be better for me since even with medication my BP spiked occasionally. I don't even remember the herbs I took now, but I researched carefully and followed the recommended dosages. Then I went to the Doc for something unrelated and found that my BP was 220/120. Needless to say, I went back on my medicines and stayed there.

It may work for some folks but didn't for me. It's a helluva serious thing to be playing around with.
