Herbal Teas Offer Natural Path to Lower Blood Pressure, Doctors Say
HANOI, vietnam – As the nation enjoys the Labor Day holiday, doctors are highlighting natural methods for maintaining health, including the potential benefits of certain herbal teas in lowering blood pressure. New research suggests specific teas can definitely help expand blood vessels and reduce inflammation, offering a complementary approach to traditional medical treatments.
According to a report published today by THANH NIEN Online, hibiscus and green tea are notably effective. Hibiscus tea, rich in anthocyanins and polyphenols, demonstrates a vascular expansion effect that can reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Studies cited by the health website Healthline (USA) indicate that consuming two to three cups of hibiscus tea daily may lower systolic blood pressure by an average of 5-7 mmHg – comparable to the effect of some mild medications. The tea also reduces “bad” LDL cholesterol and triglycerides,tho individuals taking diuretics or aspirin should consult a physician due to potential interactions.
Green tea, abundant in the antioxidant EGCG, also exhibits vascular expansion, anti-inflammatory, and blood pressure-regulating properties. A University of Oxford study found that drinking 5-6 glasses of green tea per day can considerably reduce systolic blood pressure and LDL cholesterol levels.
THANH NIEN Online will continue to publish health news throughout September, including articles on juices and dietary substitutions that can aid in naturally lowering blood pressure.
