Hypertension alternative medicines?

my dad is diagnosed of Hypertension, the bagk-fighter among all heart ailment.

He is eating green leaves of vegetables and known plants such as camote, mallunggay, pechay, caturay, chili leaves etc..

is these really effective? We've come to read that folic acids are good at fighting and lowering hypertension; these folliates are found on green leaves. thats why we blanch these leaves and eat it right away with garlic and apple cider vinegar(which are also proven for lowering blood pressure).

Are there any other alternative medicines(effective ones) that can help in treating hypertension?

P.S. We dont take medicines cause its side effect is really evident on us. Whenever my dad take his medicine for hypertension prescribed by his doctor, his arthritis attacks and he has difficulty in walking. Also, his joints and knee caps are aching.

There are studies that eating a teaspoon of cinnamon every day drastically lowers blood pressure. I have actually been doing this for about a month now, and my hypertension has improved without meds. Also, lowering your salt intake helps.

There are lots of medicines for hypertension. He should discuss this side effect with his doctor and try a different medicine.

I heard beet juice lowers BP, here's a article about it
