Using Herbs for Hypertension HBP
Odds are your blood pressure could be out of whack, and you don't know it until you go in for a checkup. Most people with hypertension don’t show any real signs , and nearly a third of all adults have high blood pressure. When chronic hypertension is left untreated it leads to stiffening and thickening of the arteries, and that contributes to atherosclerosis, strokes, heart disease and kidney disease. |

Common and inexpensive garlic
helps to lower hypertension For effective circulation, blood flows -- under pressure -- through the arteries (blood vessels) to various organs. Our hearts do the job of applying pressure. It’s like catsup or toothpaste: Unless you apply pressure, it won’t move in the tube.
There is a great deal of scientific evidence to suggest that a holistic approach combining the use of carefully chosen herbal remedies, along with lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, reduced salt intake, increased consumption of fruit and vegetables, can improve the overall cardiovascular health and lower blood pressure.

Billberry For: Atherosclerosis and high blood pressure. |
 Profile
| Anthocyanosides in bilberry have a collagen-stabilizing action, and are an active blood sugar reducer. Bilberry extracts help to keep atherosclerotic plaques from forming on the linings of arteries by strengthening the collagen that makes up the arterial walls. This also keeps the arteries flexible, which fights high blood pressure. Collagen is the most abundant protein of the body and is destroyed as a result of gout, inflammatory joint disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. Phyllis A. Balch, Prescription for Herbal Healing (2002) | |

Ginseng For: Balance blood pressure |
 Profile
| Ginseng's adaptogen action helps the body to balance blood pressure, reducing high blood pressure and raising low blood pressure. Ginseng contains compounds that regulate both the strength of the heartbeat and blood pressure. If the body is deficient in potassium, these saponins slow the rate at which heart muscle fibers contract. If there is excess potassium, the saponins increase the
ing optimal potassium levels also eases high blood pressure. Laboratory tests show that American ginseng also lowers blood pressure by stimulating the conversion of the amino acid arginine to nitric oxide (NO), which causes the walls of blood vessels to relax. This action prevents the release of a protein known as endothelin, which can cause blood vessels to constrict during a heart attack. Phyllis A. Balch, Prescription for Herbal Healing (2002) | |

Jiaogulan Tea For: Weight loss, blood pressure |
 Profile
| The active constituents in Jiao-gu-lan have been identified as saponins classified
as gypenosides, which are very similar in actions and properties to the ginsenoside
found in ginseng. The presence of these compounds in high concentrations could
explain the strong adaptogenic activity of the herb. It reduces the negative
effects of stress, has a normalizing effect on blood pressure, and thins the
blood. Daily use of the tea may even help increase the metabolism of fats, and
be used in successful weight loss programs. Richo Cech, Making Plant Medicine (2000) | |
