What do people with hypertension use to reduce blood pressure in addition to conventional medication - Is this related to adherence?

Patients reported high adherence to their use of conventional medication. The most important problem was "forgetting" in low adherent patients and they mainly used lemon, garlic, and yoghourt at times of sudden blood pressure elevations. Physicians should inform the patients who struggle with hypertension about the risk of nonadherence which can result in serious morbidity and possibly mortality.
