===Alternative treatments===
Although often discouraged by doctors, natural solutions are sometimes used to reduce blood pressure. In general, Hypertension is the direct result of thick blood. While medical doctors will use blood thinners, natural solutions include:
*Vitamin E supplementation<ref>http://www.livestrong.com/article/301209-vitamin-e-high-blood-pressure</ref> (which is even encouraged by some medical doctors<ref>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12463106</ref>)
*ALA supplementation (either pure, or in fish oil)
*Coenzyme Q-10 supplementation
Contrary to conventional medical belief, salt and fats are usually not believed to be factors in this issue. Rather, moderate quantities of both are often encouraged.
