        Hello everyone!

        I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for someone dealing with POTS?  My friend is suffering from POTS and she cannot find any relief from this issue.  No doctor can help her and they say they don’t know the reason for her suffering.  All they could do was diagnose her with POTS.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

          I’m sorry, that is so frustrating.  We’ve had this in our family, though not so debilitating that the person couldn’t function.  It has gradually improved over time and is nearly gone now.  Staying hydrated has helped as lower blood pressure overall seemed to be contributing.  We’ve been intentional about using electrolytes in water (LMNT).  We believe food allergies played a role too, plus general nutrition.  Food allergies can cause leaky gut, which lowers nutritional absorption, yada, yada.  Maybe trying some homemade bone broth, the leaky gut tincture plus nutritive herbs?  Look up the blood pressure herbs and see if any of those are vaso-constrictors.

            I just was researching the Rezzimax Pain Tuner and someone had a great testimonial of it helping their son with POTS

              Here are some suggestions for POTS:

              Wearing Compression socks, taking gentle walks while wearing the compression socks, increasing mineralized salt (such as Pink Himalayan or Celtic Gray Sea Salt), smaller meals more often (avoid energy drinks, alcohol, caffeine), reducing external stressors as well as oxidative stressors (spending time in prayer, walking barefoot outside or just being outside in nature, controlled breathing), raise the head of the bed 1-2 inches or use an extra pillow behind the head and upper back, adding B12, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D3, adding herbal teas that are soothing and yet do not lower the blood pressure.  These are all just suggestions and things I have come across in my field of practice.
