Natural Products for High Blood Pressure
- Hot peppers such as cayenne, serrano and habenero peppers reduce blood pressure by increasing blood circulation. Hot peppers also increase metabolism.
- Garlic is a plant that regulates blood pressure, meaning it will raise low blood pressure or lower high blood pressure.
- Ginger acts as a vasodilator, opening up the blood vessels so the blood flows more easily. It also acts as a muscle relaxant, which ultimately leads to a lessening of blood pressure.
- Hawthorn berries work as a diuretic, dilating blood vessels and thinning the blood. This makes it easier for the heart to pump blood through the body.
- Red clover is another plant that thins the blood. When the blood is too thick, it makes the heart work harder and increases blood pressure.
- Cassia bark, peppermint, dandelion, yarrow and mallow root are just a few of the many other plants that have been used for centuries to treat high blood pressure.
