Although we hear more about how to correct high blood pressure (hypertension), low blood pressure (hypotension) can be equally challenging to improve.
I’m contacted regularly by individuals who want to know how to raise their blood pressure by using natural methods, where possible. Therefore, I wrote this post to share my experience, a few remedies and tips to show you how to use foods, herbs and lifestyle changes to raise blood pressure naturally.
At the end of this article you can download my popular do-it-yourself guide Low Blood Pressure eBook covering Nutrition, Herbal and Lifestyle Solutions to Increase Low Blood Pressure Naturally.
Let’s get started!
Causes of low blood pressure
There could be a number of reasons associated with low blood pressure and any medical condition that can potentially cause it needs to be investigated and excluded by your doctor before embarking on nutrition, supplementation and lifestyle changes.
Therefore, it’s imperative to first check with your doctor for possible underlying medical causes of your low blood pressure such as any heart conditions, faulty brain signals or nervous system damage, to name a few.
Other causes of low blood pressure include:
- Acute or chronic dehydration
- Blood loss and anaemia
- Heat and humidity can worsen low blood pressure
- Severe allergies
- Acute, severe infections
- High stress and exhaustion
- Certain conditions can contribute to dysregulated blood pressure including adrenal fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome, mast cell activation disorder, Lyme disease, POTS, some autoimmune disorders, histamine intolerance
- Some medications such diuretics, heart medications, levodopa (for Parkinson’s disease) and some antidepressants
- Large meals, especially high in processed carbohydrates
Side effects of low blood pressure
- Decrease in blood flow to the brain – a serious symptom that can manifest in dizziness, fainting, brain fog, memory lapses, headaches, nausea and blurred vision
- Importantly, long-term untreated hypotension can be linked with brain atrophy more than hypertension. It can potentially cause a permanent brain damage
- Depression and low moods can be directly linked to low blood pressure in some people
- Problems with balance, especially in elderly
- Lower body temperature
Natural approaches to raising low blood pressure
There are a number of approaches that can be undertaken to increase low blood pressure naturally, where safe and possible, as mentioned above.
I’d like to share a few simple natural remedies and methods that benefited my hypotensive clients:
- Being well hydrated increases blood pressure – it can be as simple as increasing your intake of water per day as dehydration reduces blood volume and leads to a drop in the systemic blood pressure. Check out the strategies how to drink and absorb more water daily.
Include vegetables and fruits high in water such as celery, cucumbers, zucchini, tomatoes, cabbage as well as watermelon, apples, pears, papaya and pineapple, to name a few.- Blood pressure is an important indication of adrenal function – low adrenal function is arguably the most common as well as the most overlooked cause. If your blood pressure drops when you rise up from a lying position or stand up too quickly, this almost always indicates low adrenals. This drop in blood pressure upon standing is called postural hypotension and it’s also associated with dizziness, loss of balance or feeling light headed.
- During and especially after menopause the adrenals gradually take on the role of producing sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone and testosterone) after ovaries stop producing them.
- If the adrenals are depleted and thus are unable to produce enough estrogen, progesterone and DHEA, women experience more hot flashes, night sweats, low energy and mood, fatigue, foggy brain and weight gain. Therefore it’s very important to address adrenal depletion before the menopause to alleviate many of these symptoms.
- Adrenal glands (there are 2 of them) located above each kidney are pretty amazing and extremely important organs, their overall function is to help the body cope with stress and survive. They enable the body to deal with stress from every possible source such as disease, injuries but also work stress, relationship problems and negative emotions. Our energy levels, moods, resilience, endurance and our very life all depend on their proper functioning.
- It’s well worth to familiarise yourself with how the adrenals work and how to help them to function well through better nutrition and stress reduction. In a nutshell, the hormones secreted by the adrenals (including adrenaline, noradrenaline, cortisol and DHEA) influence all of the major physiological processes in the body. Find out more in my adrenal fatigue post.
- If you are a vegetarian, your blood pressure may be normally lower (around 95/65). If so, then your low blood pressure doesn’t necessarily mean you have low adrenal function.
- Potassium normalises blood pressure – this mineral is absolutely necessary for normal blood pressure. Adequate potassium in the diet is a simple health basic that just can’t be ignored when dealing with cardiovascular issues. High potassium foods include fruits such as bananas, citrus fruits, vegetables, legumes and chia seeds – a particularly high source. Some people may need to supplement potassium to maintain normal blood pressure – talk to your health practitioner about your supplementation needs.
- I always discuss and address any sleep issues at the start of all working with clients, including with those suffering from either low or high blood pressure, as they need to start sleeping better and gaining more energy to initiate the body’s healing processes.
- My ‘better sleep’ blueprint, in a form of an eBook, will provide you with the tools and guidance to dealing with insomnia and improve your sleep – fast.
- Click on the link to download your copy of the Sleep Better Tonight: How to get a good night’s sleep – a step-by-step blueprint for all struggling with insomnia, fatigue, chronic tiredness or adrenal fatigue.
- If you’d like a more comprehensive approach to correcting sleep problems, I recommend you consider enrolling in my self-paced online Sleep Reset Program where you can learn the steps to reboot all aspects of sleep.
Important: If you are taking any medications, always work with your doctor as well as your natural medicine practitioner to make sure you safely use natural medicines and supplements for low blood pressure.

I noticed something with my blood pressure when i spend a few days on iron supplements or eating dates regularly my dizziness disappears gradually and my blood pressure stabilizes and when i stop taking those supplements my dizziness comes back and gets stonger by the day i mesured my bp once in that phase 100 60 so i guess my bp has to do with my iron levels
Some days i can’t even get out of bed.
Interesting to know about eating dates and blood pressure. They do have good amounts of potassium and normalises blood pressure. Iron imtake may affect blood pressure, read this https://www.bmj.com/content/337/bmj.a547
I have POTS and they do not know the root cause of it. I cannot take any beta blockers because they bottom out my bp which is already low. I drink a ton of water and salt daily but nothing seems to be helping. I’m so frustrated.
Continue to look for a root cause. Did you have the Gardisil vaccine prior to symptoms? Check out this one example of potential causes: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28689455
Blood pressure seems to be getting lower as I get older. Also have chronic constipation. Do you think they play off one another? I get dizzy and extra tired off and on. I started taking a thyroid supplement a few months ago. It seems to be helping, somewhat.
Are you drinking plenty of good quality water (filtered) on a daily basis? You many need to add electrolytes (minerals) for better absorption and hydration. Please read these posts of mine for more guidance https://www.naturimedica.com/how-to-drink-enough-water-daily-and-improve-your-health-dehydration/
https://www.naturimedica.com/how-to-drink-enough-water-daily-and-improve-your-health-electrolytes/
Both low blood pressure and constipation are pretty good indicators of decreased of hydration of tissues and organs in the body, providing other causes of low blood pressure and constipation are excluded.
hello. I am 27 years old. I have very low blood pressure and also stomach problem.I can’t take any Edible Herbs or meats. Now what can I do for raising my blood pressure
Hi Rupa
I suggest you consults with a naturopath or a functional doctor to find out the cause or causes of your low blood pressure and start from there.
Hi Joanna, i am 20 weeks pregnant and since 2nd trimester i have had trouble with lower blood pressure so you think its hormone related or its a sign of low adrenal function?
Could be either or both. It’s best to have this assessed by a health practitioner and then take steps to improve it.
Is dry fruit prunes increases the blood pressure while am suffering from low blood pressur
I’m not aware of prunes causing an increase of blood pressure. Do you have a reference for for this? I would be interested to find out as well!
Hi I’m 37yrs old,people see me and tell me that I’m reducing in weight but I decided to check due to how I feel inside,lo my BP was 80/40 and my sugar level was 70.I m feeling weak and hot Inside of me,what should I do? Scholastica Nigeria.
Doing comprehensive blood tests with the help of your doctor may help to pinpoint any problems or nutritional deficiencies that cause your symptoms.
First off, thank you for this article! Very helpful and informative.
Could something like low iron cause low blood pressure? My ferritin levels were 8 (range in Canada is 10-200), and my iron was low but not considered “low” in doctor terms. I also had a 4-point cortisol test and it was high. I’m also on Yaz birth control, don’t know if that would have any connection with low iron/B.P besides creating gut dysbosis/not absorbing nutrients properly?
I have only gotten my B.P tested twice, once was 100/60, other was 110/80, so not super low, but I do have symptoms, i.e, lightheadedness, fatigue, sleepy all the time. (But could also be due to low iron!). Taking iron has helped but it’s taking forever cause my numbers were so low. Could it be cause?
Hi Jess
I suggest you look into increasing your iron levels first. It can be tricky because there are a number of possible reasons for iron not moving up despite supplementation. Inflammation, particularly in the gut will impair iron absorption. Not enough stomach acid can be a major obstacle, vitamin C deficiency as well (so take vit C with your iron supplement). Have you tried eating liver 1-2 times per week? It’s a good source of iron, protein and other minerals. Have you checked the gut for parasites?
These are just a few ideas to consider, it would be best to see a naturopath/ natural medicine practitioner who would run a few tests and look at the nutrition side of things.
Thank you for your response :)
I see a Naturopath actually. I had a gut test and everything was mostly good, no markers for inflammation, but I do have low stomach acid.
Could low iron be a cause for low B.P, however?
My understanding is that iron levels don’t seem to have any direct impact on blood pressure – low or high. Some research has suggested that a connection can be made but there is currently no solid scientific evidence that low iron can influence your blood pressure.
Pls can you help me with list of specific vegetables that boost blood pressure.
Look for vegetables that have high water content such as celery, cucumbers, zucchini, tomatoes, radishes, cabbage and cauliflower to name a few.
I have always had low blood pressure and recently had a UTI, the Dr prescribed 10 days of antibiotics, however during this I had light headedness, palpitations and tightness around my shoulders. It’s been 6 days since my last antibiotic and my symptoms have changed slightly, headaches, palpitations, light headedness, heavy arms and legs and shaky feeling inside. I don’t feel anxious yet the symptoms align with anxiety. My Dr said I still have slight traces of blood in my urine although the UTI is clear. No one seems to know what it is, all my tests, bloods, ECG, chest X-ray, urine and blood sugars are clear. Could this be associated with AFS?
I’m not able to offer specific advice via the blog; however, when I hear about similar health issues I suggest you look at the gut health/ leaky gut, especially after the course of antibiotics. In addition, I’d recommend a probiotic therapy for the gut and UTI. Please see a practitioner who is knowledgeable about this.
Despite eating high potassium foods with sea salt, my potassium levels test low. Would you recommend a potassium supplement? Also, I know I need magnesium, but have concerns of it lowering my BP even more. Thoughts?
My BP averages: 95/65. Adrenal saliva test revealed high cortisol and I am taking PS to help with that
Sodium, magnesium and potassium work together in the body and any deficiencies of magnesium/sodium would impact potassium levels. Also, are you using laxatives or experience diarrhoea on a regular basis? They cause loss of potassium from the body. These are only a few things to consider and I suggest you consult a health practitioner to discuss your circumstances.
Hi there
my husband has low bp and takes number if medications following a heart operation earlier this year- warfarin, beta blockers and ramipril. he cannot take bisoprolol unless his blood pressure is 90 and above. he drinks lots of water and follows other diets but was wondering what else he can take that is natural? GP won’t give him further med for the low bp and doesn’t seem worried at all.
I suggest your husband does the adrenal function test (saliva test) to gauge the levels of adrenal hormones cortisol and DHEA, and thus assess adrenal health. Most likely the test would need to be done privately but I’m not sure what’s available in the UK.
Also, increasing potassium via diet could be an option but this needs to be checked with your GP as there are some drugs for which potassium could interfere with.
My b.p. is 121/60 i get dizzy all the time and my legs, ankles , and stomach are swollen. What do you suggest ?
It could be many things causing your symptoms. What is your doctor saying about it?
Hi. I’ve been having low blood pressure for a couple months now. But not only that. I have dizziness, palpitations, anxiety, headaches etc. I’ve been with many doctors and everything seem well. My doctor check my hormones level it was good not perimenoupase. The cardiologist toll me to it more salt but it not helping. He gave me midodrine and it raises my dialostic instead of the systolic 108/88. I think that maybe is adrenal fatigue because of all symptoms I have since 11 months now. But all my labs are good. What can I do? ?
Hello Diana
To see if you may have adrenal fatigue I suggest you do the saliva cortisol and DHEA test (4 saliva samples throughout the day and evening) which will indicate your levels of these two adrenal hormones. These tests are done by private functional labs on referral. Read more about them and adrenal fatigue here http://naturimedica.com/adrenal-fatigue-treatment-kalish-method-australia/
Where are you based? I can help you if you’re based in Australia.
Thanks for sharing this information. If you have low blood pressure problem then you have to take healthy diet. It helps you to maintain your blood pressure stable and helps to prevent the low blood pressure problem.
Yes, a good diet is very important indeed.
My name is Laverne. My son is 11 years old lately his pressure has being fluctuating one day it was 122/81, 125/83, 117/78 and the last one was 117/70. We eat healthy veggies and fruits daily. He doesn’t drink anything but water and cranberry. I’m confused is 125/83 too high and 117/70 too low?
Hello Laverne
Blood pressure fluctuates during the day in response to many things such as stress, the food we eat, emotional states, temperature etc so it’s not unusual to have different readings during the day within. If you are concerned, I suggest you track his blood pressure for 7-10 days and record the readings to see any patterns. It’s best to discuss any concerns with a doctor. I’ve included for you a vital signs information for your reference: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/2172054-overview

Hi i been feeling really light headed dizzy and at times when i stand up my vision goes black for like 30 sec my blood pressure was 99/59 does it mean i have low blood pressure?
Jenny
I suggest you measure your blood pressure a few times per day over a week or so and record the readings. If your blood pressure is consistently low you can then look for a possible cause of it under the guidance of your doctor or natural medicine practitioner.
All the best

HI Joanne,
I am soon to be 83. All is under control ie. Diabetes/ cholesterol/heart etc.
BP was under control but the last 4/5 months BP is really low 90-100.
I would not have known except that I get up with lightheadedness 2/3 times at night. Once fell dizzy and had to be rushed to the hospital. They found that it was caused due to my acute reflux and low BP. They have taken me off Coversyl 2mg. I drink 4 glasses of water a day – this I will increase. I sometimes have to take a small glass of salt water and keep Gatorade handy (electrolyte).
I am very active – play golf (walk) 4/5 days weekly. also indoor exercise all winter. But due to my headache feel sluggish all day. Eat a banana daily and have 2 shots of scotch before evening meal.
Need to know what I can do to increase my BP naturally. Doctor does not talk of a medicine .
Hi Ray
Thank you for your question. From you short description I suggest you could consider doing an adrenal function test (saliva test measuring cortisol and DHEA) as the adrenals play the key role in keeping blood pressure at normal levels, and you’d need to investigate this if nutrition and lifestyle options (as outlined in my post) don’t produce results. Most likely you’d need to find a functional medicine doctor/practitioner who is familiar with this test and knows how to interpret the results. Google works well for finding functional medicine practitioners wherever you are located.

I’m taking extra folic acid and I feel very tired so I looked up all the symtoms for low blood pressure since everytime I stand up from sitting or laying down position I feel extremely ill for a few seconds. Is this common?
Hi Mary
I suggest you measure your blood pressure 3-4 times per day for a few days to see if it’s actually low or there are other imbalances to consider.

Hi
Is m 51 yr old female, generally healthy and active, until, 2 months ago.
I had vomits and diarrhoea acros 2-3 weeks about 2 moths ago
No major cause identified, abdominal US and blood and urine and other tests normal.
Do not recall getting adrenal done.
BP around 100/70 usually am around 125/80, so make me dizzy and disoreinted.
Taking hydra,yet to increase hydration, have loose stools regularly since the vomits, so am taking 1 Imodium daily for last 3 days.. What should I do to get of Imodium and have natural bowel motion and increase my bp to my normal levels of around 120/78? Thanks.
Hi there!
Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately I’m not able provide detailed advice over the internet. Doing gut testing such as stool analysis could be worthwhile to gauge if any parasites or overgrowth of harmful bacteria may be involved in causing the diarrhoea.
All the best
Joanna
Hey Joanna!
My blood pressure always fluctuates between 80/60 to 90/60. What should I do?
Hi there!
Depending on your symptoms, you may consider testing adrenal hormones to see if there are imbalances present. Otherwise, make sure you’re well hydrated and you also tried the other nutritional strategies I mentioned in my post.

I am 72 yrs young and use to have high systolic bp. Symptoms were sudden heat flushes, racing heart and bp high as 200. After fighting that a 2-3 years, it started dropping. Now I have very low diastolic bp, persistently staying in the low 50’s and 40’s. Systolic is pretty much controllable. I also have a slow heart rate, often in the 40s and 50s. I have been to a cardiologist and they tell me my heart is doing what it’s supposed to but numbers are getting worse as time goes on, as well as the diastolic. My guess is during the high bp times, I had hyperthyroid or adrenals, and then it fatigued, going into a hypo state. I also have many and acute food allergies. Reading online points to possible arterial problems as a cause but beat is strong. I am on natural thyroid presently and have been for years. I no longer have that. Just tired.
I suggest you have your adrenal function tested to gauge the adrenal capacity to produce cortisol and other important hormones related to feeling tired. Functional doctors or naturopaths would be best to contact as they are more likely to understand how to test and interpret them.

I am a 67 year old athlete whose BP is between 98 and 106. I eat very healthy and gave up salty pretzels because they contain wheat. My pressure used to be 110-120. I ecerise 2-3 hrs a day
I feel fatigued. I don’t drink that much water and sports drinks have too much sugar and bother my stomach. I just had blood work done that showed one of my kidney level showed dehydration.
I asked for them to check my adrenal but they said only if my thyroid levels showed something -‘and it didn’t
Should I go to another dr.
Getting a second opinion is a good idea. I suggest you look for a functional medicine doctor near you. These are trained to look broadly at your current health status and also understand the symptoms, how to test for and treat adrenal fatigue, if present.
hey joanna
I dont know what is happening to me. My blood pressure always fluctuates between 100/60 to 80/40. There are no obvious symptoms, I came to know about my low.B.P only after measuring otherwise there were no symptoms.
what am i aupposed to do?
Hi there
The first thing to do in my opinion is to see your doctor to investigate if there are any medical/physiological causes for the fluctuations in your blood pressure. Our blood pressure varies during the day and you can get different readings at different times of the day, when you’re stressed or dehydrated etc.

Hi Joanna,
I’m so glad I found your site. I have been suffering from a variety of symptoms, many of them being mentioned in this article. I have just been to my integrative practitioner and tested my bp today and it was 83/63, the lowest it has ever been after suffering one of the worst migraines i have ever had last night. I will go back to her now, she said my bp is fine (although i have nausea, dizziness, vertigo and light headedness…almost constantly now.
I will ask her about adrenal support when i get back into see her, otherwise, if you know of a practitioner in melbourne that you would recommend, i would be much obliged. Looking forward to your e book as well.
Thanks so much for your site.
Hi Tanya
Thank you for taking the time to comment. Your symptoms need to be thoroughly investigated to find the cause(s) and yes, adrenals could be involved. I’m glad to hear you are seeing an integrative practitioner who should know which test(s) to order to see how adrenals are working, and test for other things, as required.
I’m afraid I don’t know any practitioners in Melbourne to recommend. You could do Google search for naturopaths near you and use the word adrenals or adrenal fatigue to try and narrow down the list.
All the best

My new meds cause low blood pressure. It is not scarey low yet but for me it is much lower then usual. Is this different then being caused naturally? I will try and help it through food and water intake and I am an active person. Should my plan be good enough just adding more water daily and eating the foods I read can help?
Hi Dan
Thank you for your question. I suggest you talk to your doctor about changing the new medication to something more suitable. It’s usually possible to find a replacement without this particular side effect. This med causes interference with the fluid regulation in the body and this, needless to say, is not a good thing. Of course keep up with the adequate water AND electrolyte intake especially if you exercise at a high(er) pace – see my tips on electrolyte rich drinks here http://naturimedica.com/how-to-drink-enough-water-daily-and-improve-your-health-part-2/ plus blood pressure friendly foods/ nutrition. By the way I find this calculation of daily water requirement works quite good: multiply your weight x 35ml = your daily water intake (not including other foods). So for example 75kg x 35ml = 2,625ml = 2.6l.
All the best

I am conflicted about your comment “Potassium normalizes blood pressure ” and an article from http://www.med-health.net/Foods-That-Raise-Blood-Pressure.html that says “It also helps that many vegetables and fruits have potassium with reduces blood pressure.” Also an article from http://www.bloodpressureuk.org/microsites/salt/Home/Whypotassiumhelps that says “Why potassium helps to lower blood pressure”. If someone has low blood pressure, should potassium be increased or used with caution? Are you able to further clarify? Thanks!
Hi Michelle
Thank you for your question. What I meant by stating that potassium normalises blood pressure is that potassium regulates blood pressure in the body meaning if your intake of potassium is adequate it’ll act to either lower or increase blood pressure as required by your circumstances. So the key is to have good levels of potassium for either high or low blood pressure derived from food, which is relatively easy to achieve. High potassium foods include fruits such as bananas, prunes, figs, citrus fruits, fresh vegetables, and legumes, among others.
Potassium’s best friend is magnesium and both minerals are vital for healthy blood pressure and cardiovascular wellbeing. See more information here: http://naturimedica.com/magnesium-anxiety-stress-high-blood-pressure-muscle-pain/
Also, this is an interesting study that discusses effects of potassium http://www.wellnessresources.com/studies/potassium_in_health_and_disease/

My husband has Parkinsons, Angina and Warfarin for AF. His blood pressure is very low, not surprisingly, at 74/47 this morning. This is causing so many problems and all his Doctor says is take more salt. More salt is not working but Doctor does seem worried. He is active swimming three times a week 30 lengths. Have you advice please?
Many thanks
Carol
Hello Carol
Thank you for your enquiry. Sounds like your husband is on quite a few medications for his conditions. I would look at possible drug side effects (one or combination of drugs) that could cause low blood pressure. Also, have a nutritionist/naturopath assess his current nutrition to see what modifications could be made that will positively affect his blood pressure.

Hello my name is lamare carter I’m having problems with my blood pressure it’s always under 45 I’ve tried all kinds of things nothing seems to help. I’ve been on a medication name fludrocortisone and it doesn’t seem to help. I’ve past out a couple times and doctors seem to figure it out either. I don’t know what else to do
Hi Lamare
Thank you for your email. You may want to investigate the health of your adrenals as adrenal fatigue syndrome is associated with persistent low blood pressure. Please have a look at my adrenal fatigue article on my Wellness Blog – just search for adrenal fatigue. I suggest you find a functional medicine practitioner or a naturopath where you live and get your adrenals tested.
All the best
Joanna
