Natural Herbs to Lower Your Blood Pressure
Blood pressure or Hypertension
is a very serious and concerned health condition.
Hypertension or blood pressure is a condition in which the heart
pumps blood with more thrust to push blood in the vessels; this
thrust is to overcome the resistance provided by the vessels.
High blood pressure can be resultant of any heart condition, high
cholesterol or even tension, anxiety
and stress.
There are several natural herbs
for blood pressure, but they have their own different effects, so
it is better to know the reason of high blood pressure first then
to take any high blood pressure natural herb remedy.
A few herbs are given below along with their functions so that
it can be helpful for you to decide amongst them.
• GARLIC: Garlic is the most important
natural herb. In Asia and Middle Eastern countries it is a regular
ingredient of their meals. Eaten either cooked, raw, in form of
garlic oil or even pickles; it has been used for centuries and centuries.
Ayurvedic herbal treatments are particularly fond of garlic usage.
It is extremely significant in reduction of systolic blood pressure.
Garlic has antiseptic qualities as well as blood thinning/ diluting
properties. It dilutes the blood just like Ginkgo Biloba or Aspirin.
So never take them along each other as it can cause bleeding and
hemorrhages.
• HAWTHORN: It is another natural herb used widely
for the treatment of high blood pressure. There are several studies
going on to prove the beneficial actions.
The test was taken by giving medication for high blood pressure
to 71% of the patients. At the end of the 16 weeks, patients taking
the hawthorn supplement had a significant reduction in mean diastolic
blood pressure (2.6 mm Hg).
No herb-drug interactions were reported.
• FISH OIL: Though fish oil does not have
very tremendous effect on all of the patients; but for some it is
great. Mostly the patients with mild hypertension are advised to
take fish oil.
Although fish oil supplements often contain both DHA (docohexaenoic
acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), there is some evidence that
DHA is the ingredient that lowers high blood pressure.
• FOLIC ACID: Folic acid reduces homocysteine
levels and is also helpful in some anemic patients. For the production
of red blood cells folate is required which needs folic acid as
a part of it.
No strong studies support the use of folic acid. But it will be
proved in very less time like all other treatment options from herbal
remedies.
• GINKGO BILOBA: Ginkgo Biloba is a very
old living tree species. Its leaves in dry form are used in several
herbal remedies and can be used in herbal teas, pills, capsules
and in other formulations.
It is the sole herb for hundreds of disease including anti-rheumatic,
anxiety, asthma, atherosclerosis, attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder, autoimmune disorders, blood vessel disorders, blood clots,
breast disease, bronchial asthma, bronchitis, cancer, cardiac rhythm
abnormalities, cataracts, chronic rhinitis, congestive heart failure,
coronary heart disease.
Additionally it also acts against cough, dermatitis, diabetes,
neuropathy, retinopathy, indigestion, dysentery, eczema, fatigue,
freckle-removing, genitourinary disorders, hearing loss, heart disease,
heart attack, headache, hepatitis B, high cholesterol, high blood
pressure, hypoxia, insomnia, labor induction, menstrual pain, migraine,
mood disturbances, oral cavity cancer, respiratory tract illnesses,
scabies, schizophrenia, seizures, sepsis, skin sores, swelling,
traumatic brain injury, ulcerative colitis, varicose veins.
