Kat sums it up pretty good. Not to be redundant, but I’m on the same page. Is your high B/P genetic? Is it from extra weight? From something vascular like diabetes? heart condition? Are you in the middle of life or are you 20? Has anyone taken your blood pressure at home when you are relaxed versus a doctor’s office where you may be nervous? There is a thing called white coat hypertension (last means high blood pressure) White coat hypertension is only high blood pressure in the doc’s office. Because you’re nervous.
You would be amazed how losing weight can affect high blood pressure. (If you don’t have an underlying medical condition) I’m sorry I don’t know of any natural remedies for you.

Always best to find the cause of a health problem and not to just treat the symptom. What is causing your hypertension? Calcium deficiency? Potassium deficiency? Magnesium deficiency? Essentail Fatty Acids deficiency? Heavy metal (lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, etc.) toxicity? Problems with nitric oxide production? What is the cause?????

May I suggest an excellent book on the causes of hypertension by Sherry Rogers, M.D. – "The High Blood Pressure Hoax". She can teach you about the many causes of hypertension, how to properly test for them and how to effectively treat them. Think of this approach as ‘real medicine’. (The book is available at Amazon.com or through her publisher at 1-800-846-6687.)

Bless you and good luck!

What is the origin of your high blood pressure?
Maybe some other diseases coexist?
If we don’t know that and what kind of therapy you have taken, if you are pre or post menopausal, if your parents had high BP, we can’t talk about natural remedies.
As I use to say, in health one size does not fit all.
According my opinion it is dangerous to try substitute your medicines with herbal remedies of any kind without your doctor’s opinion.

Consider also the following things
- usually, herbal remedies are used along with the medicine
- the form in which you will take the herbal remedy: if you will use garlic, as has been mentioned, what will be the amount that you have to take?
Is garlic proper for your type of hypertension?
If you will drink an infusion(a tea of the herb),what will be the amount of the active substance that will be found in diluition in this infusion? How many cups you have to drink daily?

Try to adopt a healthy life-style that I’m sure you have already adopted, to loose weight, practice some "light" sport like aerobic, walk for 1/2 – 1 hour daily and try to control your stress ; at this point, a herbal infusion containing relaxing herbs is mostly helpful. Take care also if you take any antiinflammatory medicins, as they can slightly increase your BP.

Also drinking green tea can help to bring your blood pressure down.
