Re: [ozmidwifery] Naturopathy for Hypertension.

Hi Mary, There are some essential oils that can be used to lower blood pressure, but some of these are contraindicated during pregnancy ( 'Aromatherapy in Midwifery Practice' by Denise Tiran.)  I'm sure that there are naturopathic and herbal remedies as well. Has this woman consulted a naturopath or herbalist do you know?  I would think that it would be probably best if she had a professional consultation so that any treatment can be tailored to her specific needs.

To All, Can anyone enlighten me about whether any naturopathic treatments can help with hypertension? My client, 35yrs, and a wonderful mother of 6 kids sadly had a fetal death in utero at term, for no obvious reason except for her hypertension, which has persisted. She would love to have more babies but not willing to have antihypertensive medication. and wondering about the alternatives. Any references would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks Mary Doyle, Bright
