The thing about Mukta Vati is that you can take them alongside your existing medication with no ill effects. If you have invested in a BP machine (ca £29) you can experiment by reducing your prescribed dose while you take the MV pills for a month say. The MV should kick in after 3-4 days and you can monitor to see if they work for you. If you have a decent reading after reducing prescription tablets to nil - then that's great.

Hi Nishira
Here is a link to where I got mine:

i checked out the link - thank you - ugh, so expensive. i think i'll have to stick with regular smart eating and exercise - although time is valuable - it'll do less to break my bank - ha ha
i have read that natural apple cider vinegar can also be very beneficial for BP, and i have used it with seemingly positive results, but as the nature of BP can itself be very spuratic - it's hard to say if when taking the ACV - if that had a positive contribution or if it was just the timing of the reading - although if push came to shove - i'd say the ACV did contribute somewhat to better readings.
I DO like the idea of home BP machines though, i never realized there was such a thing, and relatively affordable as well - i like it 😀
oh! i forgot i wrote on this thread about mukta vati! brilliant that a few here have found them useful.
i cut down to one a day pretty quick and AFAIK, my BP is till fine, but i havent been to GP for a few months now to have it checked. i might just do that.
i recommended them to my BIL too and he has found them to help.
nishira, yes they are expensive but i but 6 and share ;)... and only taking half rations, means less than a GP script anyway!!
i'd like to think i do eat healthily and i do exercise moderately, but i think there were other factors involved in my increase of BP... age being one of them! 😮
That's right. A pot of 120 pills can last quite a long time - particularly when the BP has come down under control.
On the subject of a home BP device. I think they're really important for your own self knowledge and peace of mind. I found that my BP goes up by about 10% (both figures) when I go to the doctors..... stress obviously. That's a vital piece of data about your true reading which your own doctor can't possibly know.
All the best,
M

hmm, has anyone ever heard of have any experience with this model - looks interesting?

thank you ...
Don't know that precise model but it looks almost identical to the one I use which is German made (purchased in a Tchibo store). Runs on 4x AA batteries which seem to last quite a long time (6 months so far). You can download some free BP tracking software (SoundTells Blood Pressure Tracker) and away you go - you're in control.
Best wishes,

wow - this is awesome, i'll definitely but d/l and using that software - thank you!!
Not that it will help nishira in Nashville, but Lloyds the Chemist sell BP monitors at a greatly reduced rate of £10.

Hi nishira,
I have both a wrist type and an upper arm type BP monitor at home.
Doctors say that the Upper Arm type is more accurate. My experience is the same.
My own GP's practice is equipped with Omron machines. I believe they are good. Here is what the British Hypertension society recommends:
<a class="go2wpf-bbcode" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href=" http://www.davidgregory.org/blood_pressure_monitors_list.htm "> http://www.davidgregory.org/blood_pressure_monitors_list.htm
You can see that Omron is recommended.
Here is the page for US residents:

Hope this helps.

Re high blood pressure -my mum has successfully controlled hers for 10 years by taking hawthorn drops She is in her 70s and is a workaholic but has found if she stops taking it the BP goes up. It might be cheaper than the mukti tabs- she uses Vogels. luv Frayja
Try Holland and Barrrett, they always have a cheaper version, as you are not paying for the name, and its the same as a brand make.
Another perspective on high blood pressure.....
I can't speak personally because I don't have it but I'm a homeopath and in our training what came to light was how much it fluctuates and how different devices give wildly different readings! So although taking it regularly over many days would show up the general trend, just one or two readings could be meaningless.
Most people I treat, hate taking blood pressure pills and think they'll be on them for ever. But with a course of homeopathic treatment, they often manage to get off them. They have to discuss this with their gp of course but if they think the patient's really determined, they're usually quite helpful in gradually reducing the dose. -You shouldn't try and do it yourself without some medical advice.
I think emotional stress can have a significant part to play in raising bp and if your diet's pretty good and you don't smoke, aren't really overweight and are reasonably active, other things like yoga and meditation can help with relaxation. HTH Hom
I tried this Russian device for my BP
http://www.citl.co.uk/efficiency.htm They promised that BP will reduce to a normal level in 2-weeks time, but I felt results once I started using it. Not very cheap (GBP 75), but I do not take my pills any more.

Hey Frayja,
What dosage of the Hawthorn pills does your mum use out of interest. I am still going with 2 MuktaVati pills a day and have stabilised at around 130/80 which is 10 better in each figure than the doctor ordered. I'm highly delighted but as you say these little things are up to 400% more expensive than the Hawthorn thingies. Unless of course you need to take 6 pills a day?? 🙂
