Is There Any Natural Cure For Hyperaldosteronism?

Is there any natural cure for hyperaldosteronism? We have identified that there is no tumor just excessive production. I imagine there is something that has to be causing this and nobody seems to be looking too hard for that that they just seem to want to put my wife on meds forever.

1. since possibility of tumor is ruled out, thus primary aldosteronism is ruled out, and as your history suggests excessive production thus secondary causes of increased aldosterone like congestive cardiac failure [CCF], renal edema, and cirrhosis of liver which causes edema in body are likely possibilities to rule out with specific examination and Investigations. [Abdominal CT scan, chest X-ray, echocardiogram, plasma aldosterone level and renin activity, serum potassium level, Urinary aldosterone level].


2. I will not recommend any medicines,but treatment will depend after the likely cause is diagnosed and then management is initiated.
