Amla herb for lowering blood pressure is working for me

I've always had decent BP, around in the 120s over 60s but for the past few years as I've aged, I've been battling it. I'd wake up in the morning with the BP in the 120s and then it starts going up. Mid to high 130s during mid-day were common, 140s frequent, and 150s-170s occasionally.

I do garlic pills, meditation, aerobic exercise, and yoga breathing. I don't salt my food, smoke, or drink much alcohol (an occasional glass of red wine). I even cut down to 1 mug of coffee per day and a couple of cups of tea. Nothing worked. I tried different other herbs with no luck.

My doc didn't want to put me on meds because she thought the cure was worse than the problem as long as my morning BP was OK (thanks doc).

But then I discovered Amla extract. I bought Paradise Herbs brand Organic Amla fruit extract (it's the first brand I found and I suppose other brands would be just fine). I'm now back in the 120s, sometimes dipping into the teens, and very rarely going to the low 130s. It's like magic. It took only a couple of days for marked results.

I take one in the morning on an empty stomach with a glass of water when I rise (with a couple of other supplements that I've been taking for years, so they aren't the reason).

Amla is Indian Gooseberry, and I read about this in LEF magazine. I have no association with Paradise Herbs or LEF and make absolutely nothing by posting this (it isn't spam). I'm not a doctor, nor a nutritionist and don't know if everyone can take this herb or not. It probably depends on other conditions you may or may not have (if in doubt check with your doc). I'm posting this simply to possibly help another. It works for me, and whether it will work or not for you I can't say. I hope it helps someone.
