Herbs That Support Healthy Blood Pressure

Which Herbs Help Promote Healthy Blood Pressure?

Herbs for High Blood Pressure.

This is a question I was asked by one of our customers. I thought the answer is something you might be interested in. With blood pressure issues it depends on your age and what is going on with you.

Something natural you can do in your home for blood pressure is anything that decreases stress. For example, add relaxing activities to your day like walking or yoga. Prayer and Meditation are also relaxing activities that can help you manage your blood pressure. Breathing exercises can also lower stress and help you manage your blood pressure.

If you are a tea drinker, add some Hibiscus leaves to green tea. It gives a little tangy twist and is one of my personal favorites. Hibiscus tea is really good for your circulation, heart and blood pressure, too.

Helpful Information About The Herbs In Hi-BP

Hawthorn Berries

Hawthorn Berries are great for heart health, and blood pressure while containing antioxidants. Hawthorn Berries have a vasodilation effect – helping to manage high blood pressure.

A little more info from Dr Gittleman 1 about Hawthorn – she says it’s the number-one herb for heart health there is. “It contains powerful antioxidants in both its flowers and leaves, and it supports your heart in many different ways, primarily by reducing inflammation,” she says.

Dr. Gittleman says Hawthorn was first used in the first century for treating cardiac diseases and for strengthening the heart muscle. “Due to its antioxidant profile, hawthorn helps to decrease cholesterol, and it inhibits plaque buildup, lowers blood pressure, and dilates coronary vessels, which improves blood flow and increases blood supply to the heart,” she says.

A good way to consume Hawthorn, according to Dr. Gittleman, is to have it in tea.

Here is a Hawthorn Herbal Tea that is organic and made with Hawthorn Berries.

Essential Oils for Blood Pressure

Have you ever heard the saying “food is nature’s medicine?” Anything you can put into a meal to consume can be considered food, such as herbs. Herbs can contain chemicals that have a certain effect on your body just like meat, veggies and grains have their own chemicals. Luckily, these herbs can be used in herbal or in Essential Oil Form.

Basil – A culinary favorite also helps with hypertension.

Basil is a delicious herb that goes well in a variety of foods. Basil also supplies beneficial plant compounds that have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and other health properties. In addition, these compounds give basil its “essence” — or distinct aroma and flavor. It also can help to lower your blood pressure.

The chemical eugenol, which is found in Basil, may block certain substances that tighten blood vessels. This may lead to a drop in blood pressure. Adding fresh basil to your diet is easy and certainly can’t hurt. Keep a small pot of the herb in your kitchen garden and add the fresh leaves to pasta, soups, salads, and casseroles. Oils derived from Basil are very beneficial. 

Clary Sage  – The Go-to Essential Oil For Many Reasons

Clary Sage is a flowering herb that’s native to the Mediterranean Basin. Clary Sage is known for its calming properties. The main chemical component of Clary Sage is linalyl acetate, part of the esters group, making it a relaxing, soothing, and balancing herb and essential oils.

Clary sage essential oil can reduce anxiety levels and thus lower blood pressure. Women have been using Clary Sage for centuries for its soothing and relaxing properties along with hormonal support. Stimulating and cooling, Clary Sage essential oil can improve memory and attention. It has even shown promise in helping patients with dementia!

Lavender is one of the most versatile and well-known herbs

Lavender is an herb native to northern Africa and the mountainous regions of the Mediterranean. In ancient times, the Egyptians and Romans used Lavender for bathing, relaxation, cooking, and as a perfume. Because of its calming and relaxing qualities, Lavender is effective in treating anxiety and acts as a mood stabilizer and sedative, all of which have a positive effect on your blood pressure.

Lavender Essential Oil can be used topically or by diffusing to create a relaxed atmosphere.

Marjoram – known in ancient times as a “Symbol of Happiness”

Marjoram – This herb offers a wide range of health benefits that make it well worth adding to diets and adds a unique flavor to sauces and soups. Marjoram is commonly used for runny nose, coughs, colds, infections, and various digestion problems; and is used to treat external wounds. That is why some creams and ointments contain essential oil from Marjoram.
