Is there really a high
blood pressure tea that can cure you of your hypertension? Can the
right herbs be enough to get you healthy again? How exactly does the
tea work and is it easy to get and make?
Hibiscus Tea
Hibiscus tea is derived from a particular species of Hibiscus flower
known as the roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa). The flower is native to
hotter climes and is drunk throughout the world. It is widely regarded
as confering many health benefits including:
- lowered blood
pressure
- reduced cholesterol
- weight loss
- strengthened immune system
- prevention of bladder infections
- prevention of constipation
- expectorates phlegm
Studies
The most widely cited study in support of Hibiscus tea for reducing
blood pressure is one carried out by the Journal of Human Hypertension.
The average systolic blood pressure of type II diabetes patients taking
part in the study dropped by 20 mmHg over one month.
As Hibiscus tea is a known diuretic,
this is believed to be consistent with other diuretic medications such
as commonly prescribed diuretic drugs that help rid the body of sodium
and therefore help to dilate the blood vessels.
There are no other conclusive studies that confirm whether or not this
could actually be described as a high blood pressure tea.
How To Prepare Hibiscus Tea
This tea can be drunk hot or cold. Dried petals can be steeped in hot
water for ten to fifteen minutes, else for a cold drink they can simply
be soaked for a couple of days.
Regardless of which method you choose, make sure to strain the tea
before drinking.
Alternatively, Hibiscus tea is also available in bags.
Natural Supplements For
High Blood Pressure
Remember that although there are a few key natural supplements that can
help you to lower your blood pressure, it is unlikely that taking these
alone will be enough to restore you to a healthy level.
This does not mean that you must resort to drugs because there are
still plenty of other natural
therapies that can be combined with Hibiscus tea and other
natural supplements that will allow you to reach 115/75. Remember, even
a blood pressure of 135/85 means you have a DOUBLED risk of heart attack or
stroke.
