As is known, hypotension can be physiological, meaning it occurs in practically healthy individuals, and pathological, which brings many problems and changes to lifestyle. While low blood pressure is considered normal and causes no discomfort in the first group of people, those in the second group are often prone to hypotensive episodes with all the resulting consequences. Medicinal herbs and folk medicine recipes are successfully used in the treatment of hypotension.
General principles of hypotension treatment
Before combating hypotension using folk remedies, it is important to remember all the principles of low blood pressure treatment. Combining folk remedies with other methods will help to always feel normal and maintain a regular lifestyle.
So, here are several methods of comprehensive hypotension treatment:
Regularly perform morning exercises or a set of physical exercises. It is beneficial to engage in running and swimming.
Get at least 10-12 hours of sleep, especially in the cold season.
Perform breathing exercises to ensure tissue oxygenation.
Adjust the regime and diet. Introduce foods with high carbohydrate, fat, salt, and spice content into the diet. Drink as much water as possible to improve blood flow speed.
Avoid alcohol and cigarettes.
Apply therapeutic massage with aromatic toning oils.
Take a contrast shower, especially in the morning.
Regularly undergo physiotherapy sessions to increase vascular tone.
Walk barefoot whenever possible, especially in the summer.
Use folk remedies to raise blood pressure.
Treatment of hypotension with folk remedies
For treatment, plant and natural remedies that have the ability to increase vascular tone and improve blood flow processes are used. It is necessary to use these recipes for a long time to maintain the necessary vascular tone. Fortunately, natural remedies have virtually no contraindications for use and do not have side effects.
Folk remedies for hypotension can be applied in courses of 2-4 weeks, during which 1-2 recipes are used, and then they are changed to prevent the body from getting used to them. Typically, ingredients are mixed together and prepared in the form of mixtures, infusions, decoctions, and other medicinal forms.
Herbs commonly used for hypotension:
• Manchurian aralia.
• Ginseng root.
• Leaves of periwinkle.
• Rhodiola rosea.
• Eleutherococcus.
• Hawthorn.
• Prickly Eleutherococcus.
• Immortelle.
• European centaury.
• Hawthorn leaves.
• Fluffy panacea.
• Lemon balm.
• Motherwort.
• Hop cones.
• Common spurge.
• Valerian root.
All these plants are adaptogens, which tune the central nervous system, increase blood pressure, stimulate the vegetative divisions of the nervous system, increase the body’s reserves, and enhance excitability. These remedies are not recommended to be used before bedtime to avoid overstimulation of the body and disruption of sleep.
There are many recipes for infusions and decoctions, and ingredients (plant adaptogens) can be mixed together or used separately.
In addition, when treating hypotension with folk remedies, natural products with the same properties are included, from which you can prepare tasty and nutritious dishes that have tonic properties. Such products include carrots, sorrel, pomegranates, and spinach.
These products contain many flavonoid compounds and flavonoids with vitamin P activity, as well as iron, which can increase hemoglobin. Tonic properties are also possessed by sour apples, celery, cabbage, lettuce, from which you can prepare nutritious and healthy fruit and vegetable salads. For taste qualities, lemon juice, olive oil, and nuts of all kinds, which also have tonic properties, can be added to salads.
Additionally, natural juices of beetroot, black mulberry, and pomegranate are good for raising blood pressure, which can be easily prepared at home. The red color of the products indicates the presence of flavonoids. They can be taken separately or mixed. It is important to remember that commercially processed juices do not provide the desired effect.
Beetroot, mulberry, and beetroot juices contain natural pigments that can stain tooth enamel. Therefore, these juices are taken before or after meals, diluted with water in a ratio of 1:2, and the mouth is thoroughly rinsed after consumption.
Recipes for hypotension treatment based on natural products:
Mix 400g of dried apricots, 1 lemon (with peel), and 3-4 tablespoons of honey, previously passing dried apricots and lemon without seeds through a meat grinder. Take several times a day before meals, one tablespoon each time.
Mix 500ml of red grape juice with 2-3 tablespoons of ginseng root juice. Infuse the mixture for a week, then take 50-70g on an empty stomach in the morning.
Prepare a juice mix consisting of parsley juice (60ml), spinach (90ml), celery (150ml), and carrot (200ml) juice. Drink 100ml of juice 2-3 times a day before meals.
Steep half a glass of dried milk thistle herb in 1 liter of vodka in a dark place for 2 weeks. Occasionally shake the container to allow the beneficial substances of milk thistle to infuse better. Then strain and take 50-60 drops of the mixture 3 times a day before meals.
Mix 50g of roasted and chopped coffee beans with 500g of natural honey and the juice of 1 lemon. Store the mixture in the refrigerator and take one teaspoon after meals.
Patients with low blood pressure often complain about being irritated by society, loud noises, and crowds of people, so over time, such patients become antisocial, seeking solitude and isolation. Therefore, home treatment for hypotension is very convenient and effective, as all procedures (exercise, contrast shower, nutrition) can be combined with each other.
