Herbal medicines have, for ages, been noted to have amazing effects on human health and well-being and can be an alternative to hypertension medication. Although herbs have shown potential in lowering blood pressure, these can potentially interfere with your current maintenance meds and it is adviseable to consult with your doctor first before trying these yourself.
Here are some plants and herbs that are used in different cultures worldwide to control blood pressure:
Black bean (Castanospermum australe)
Celery Juice (Apium graveolens)
Chinese hawthorne (Crataegus pinnatifida)
Ginger root
Giant dodder (Cuscuta reflexa)
Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa)
Tea leaf (Camelia sinensis)
Umbrella tree bark (Musanga cecropioides)
River lily (Crinum glaucum)
Maritime pine bark (Pinus pinaster)
Indian plantago (blond psyllium)
