Let's talk about helping people with High Blood Pressure with oils.
1) Bergamot - influences calcium levels in cells, reduces endothelial (a thin layer of cells that lines the interior surface of blood vessels) inflammation, and dilates blood vessels which leads to decreased blood pressure.
2) Inhaling combinations of oils like Lavender, Bergamot, Lemon, Marjoram, Neroli, and Ylang Ylang reduces blood pressure
3) Black Pepper inhibits ACE activity
4) Spearmint has carvone, which is a 100x more potent calcium channel blocker than the drug verpamil
5) Citronella blocks calcium from entering the smooth muscle cells of the heart and blood vessels (calcium channel blocker) and promote vasodilation
6) Jasmine Touch direct over the heart. Significant increases in blood oxygen saturation, breathing rate, and easing tension
Recommendations for use:
• Fill veggie cap with 5 drops Bergamot and 2 drops each of black pepper, spearmint, and lavender 1-2 times a day (with food if person has a sensitive stomach)
• Inhale Bergamot, Lemon, Lavender and Ylang Ylang or mixture above from a diffuser or place 1 drop of each on a tissue and breathe in from there

TESTIMONIAL:
“My dad had similar levels, was on four bp meds and a heart pill, (changed his meds 10x in a year). No energy, edema from the meds, zero quality of life.
Then doTERRA came into our lives.
We did two drops each of helichrysum, marjoram and frankincense. He went from 225/100 (on meds) to 135/74 after one capsule of those three oils. After four months of that protocol 2x a day, the vision he’d lost from a stroke four years earlier began returning. We are so grateful!”
TESTIMONIAL:
Last night we did the cardio SOC, took a Turmeric Duo cap, and applied Jasmine over her heart and pulse points. That alone immediately dropped it from 178 to 164 (I can’t remember the bottom number). An hour later she took a capsule of 4 drops Lavender, 4 drops Bergamot, 1 drop Ylang Ylang, 1 drop Spearmint, and 1 drop Black Pepper. Diffusing Lavender, Lemon, Bergamot, and Ylang Ylang.
Last night before she went to bed it was down to 138/78 (it hasn’t been THAT low since she can remember). This morning still great at 144/80! She’s still taking meds, but I’m hoping with consistency, she can come off some of them at least.
