Overview

High blood pressure is often silent and should be tracked with reliable readings and clinician guidance. Natural approaches may support diet and lifestyle, but they should not replace prescribed treatment or emergency care for very high readings.

Safety Cautions

  • ! Do not use herbs to replace prescribed blood pressure treatment.
  • ! Licorice root can raise blood pressure and is usually a poor fit for hypertension.

Medication Interactions

  • ! Hawthorn, garlic, hibiscus, green tea, and licorice may interact with cardiovascular, blood pressure, anticoagulant, or diuretic medicines.

FAQ

Can herbs lower blood pressure enough to stop medication?

No page on Eden should be used to stop medication. Blood pressure plans should be monitored with a clinician.

Which remedy should people with high blood pressure avoid?

Licorice root is a key caution because it can raise blood pressure and affect potassium levels.
