Dr Oz: Wu-Wei Zi Tea for Anti-Anxiety
Wu-Wei Zi Tea (also called 5-flavor herb) is an all-natural solution for anti-anxiety drugs. It is an herbal tea that has been used in China for centuries. This tea helps the adrenal glands and calms you down. It’s extremely safe, helps with fatigue and enhances mental performance. You can purchase it or make it yourself.

Dr Oz: Rose Hip Powder for High Blood Pressure
Rose hip powder is an all-natural remedy for high blood pressure. It is a natural diuretic. Stress is a contributing factor to high blood pressure and taking Rose Hip Powder, which is high in anti-oxidants, allows the blood vessels to relax. Add ¾ tsp of rose hip powder to 1 serving of applesauce. Take 2 x per day.
Dr Oz: Bladderwrack Thyroid Medication
Take this instead of thyroid medication. Bladderwrack is an iodine-rich seaweed that is grown in the the Northern Atlantic ocean. Take 3g 3 x per day (or take 3 first thing in the morning.)
Dr Oz: Glycine Powder Sleep Medication
A brand new study indicates that sleep medications can increase your risk of death 3 times. When you can’t sleep, skip the pills and try an all-natural remedy like Glycine Powder for your insomnia. Glycine Powder is a calming amino acid that is naturally found in beef, chicken and legumes. It will help change your sleep patterns and promote restful sleep. It comes in capsule form or a travel pack. For the travel pack, add the contents (3 g) to water before bed.
Dr Oz suggests taking these product names to your doctor and getting a conversation going about them.
Delphine Peyton says
Good idea I need to try them sometimes. I have high blood pressure and having problem taking prescription medications, I tried a lot of different kinds of blood pressure pills. It’s hard enough to get use to it without bad side effects, in two weeks i get better, after 2 or 3 or more months I got swollen parts of my body like face, legs arms coughing etc. I can hardly wait to go to the Health store and buy it so I can try. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Delphine

I’m wondering if you take BP meds and Thyroid meds already, can you use these in conjunction with it? One needs to be careful if already taking meds and then a supplement to do the same thing. I have found that western physicians don’t know much about this. You have to find a Dr. Oz/Weil, etc for the integrative aspect and there is no one in Richmond, VA.

I want to get off synthetic thyroid medication but I cannot find a doctor who will help me. I saw your show today and I am desperate to know if I can take the bladderwrack pills instead of the cytomel I am on to regulate my thyroid.
Gabe says
Tried the schizandra berries and they have made a difference. Highly recommend giving it a try. I actually took them in tincture form.
Elizabeth says
I am taking Cozaar for high blood pressure and Synthroid for my Thyroid, I would love to get off those medications. I am thinking about stopping my medications and starting Rose Hip Powder and Bladderwrack . Would you have a comment about that.
