One could try mediation, especially transcendental. Some studies have shown that listen to certain kinds of music may help. Try the DASH diet, lowering your salt intake, reducing or lowering your alcohol use. Losing some weight and exercising are good for hypertension. Make sure you're getting enough potassium, calciuma, vitamin C and Omega-3.
