Herbal Teas Offerโ Natural Path to Lower Blood Pressure, Doctors Say
HANOI, vietnam – As the nation enjoys the Labor Dayโ holiday,โ 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 โฃexpand blood vesselsโฃ and reduce inflammation, offering a complementaryโ approach โฃto traditional medical treatments.
According toโ a report published today by THANH NIEN Online, hibiscus and green tea are notably effective. Hibiscus tea,โข rich in โขanthocyanins and polyphenols, demonstrates a vascularโ expansion effect that can reduce both systolic โคand diastolic blood pressure. Studies cited by theโข health website Healthline (USA) indicate that consuming two to three cups of hibiscus teaโ daily may lower systolic bloodโฃ pressure by an average of โฃ5-7 mmHg – comparable to the effect of some mild medications. The tea also reduces “bad” LDL cholesterol andโ triglycerides,tho individuals takingโ diuretics or aspirin should consult a physician โขdue to potential interactions.
Green tea, abundant in the antioxidant EGCG, also โขexhibits vascular โขexpansion, anti-inflammatory, and blood โฃpressure-regulating properties. A University of Oxford study found that drinking 5-6 glasses of green tea per day โขcan considerably reduce systolic blood pressure and LDL cholesterol levels.
