Garlic a blood pressure fix

Garlic a blood pressure fix? | Stuff.co.nz: "A new study shows aged extract of garlic might be able to help lower blood pressure in the 3.7 million Australians who suffer from hypertension.

Karin Ried (Ried) from University of Adelaide's Discipline of General Practice has conducted a 12-week trial with 50 people that shows garlic could be used as an adjunct to conventional drugs for hypertension.

``There is a large proportion of people out there who are on medication and some people are on four different types but they still have high blood pressure, it is uncontrolled,'' Dr Ried said."
