Hypertension Tea

HYPERTENSION TEA is aimed at dilating the peripheral blood vessels, eliminating the chances of blood congestion in the head, and reducing the accumulation of lipids in the liver cells. This gradually reduces blood pressure to normal levels. In Chinese medicine concept, HYPPERTENSION TEA tonifies the kidney system, which allows the system to work better to control the blood pressure. It is helpful for all kinds of hypertension, but especially effective for primary hypertension. After using the tea for one week you will feel a difference and will see a drop in blood pressure.

High blood pressure is closely related to genetic factors and also associated with dysfunction of the cerebral cortex in the central nervous system. Other factors such as environment, eating habits, consumption of salt, being overweight, smoking, mental and emotional stress, and accumulated work pressures may also trigger the occurrence of hypertension.

With hypertension, there are no obvious symptoms in the early stages. As this condition

progresses over time, some symptoms may occur such headaches, dizziness, insomnia, loss of memory, etc. Among these, headache is the most commonly seen. In the later stages of hypertension, serious impairment of organs may result. These may affect the heart, brain, kidneys. Therefore, symptoms of high blood pressure that are relatively minor, can progress into a serious condition.

Conventional ways of treating hypertension by using a diuretic, anti-adrenergic, hydralazine or ganglionic blocking agents often have adverse side effects such hypokalemia, hyperuricemia (gout), loss of vision, insomnia, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, palpitations, and others. Moreover, taking these medications for long periods of time may result in weak and flabby muscles, and impaired function of the liver and kidneys. In addition they can increase the incidence of heart disease. In many cases, serious rebound high blood pressure is observed once medications are terminated.
