Which natural herbs help reduce high blood pressure?
The most important herbal ingredient in Hyperzosin is Hawthorne Berry. The leaves, fruit, and flowers of Hawthorne are widely used in Europe. Hawthorne Berry increases the heart’s pumping capacity, improves blood circulation, and reduces high blood pressure.
In fact, in 1999 an article appeared in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. It reported that patients with high blood pressure and chronic heart disease “who were given 600 mg/d of a Hawthorn extract had lower blood pressure and heart rates and less shortness of breath when exercising compared with subjects not receiving Hawthorn.”
Hyperzosin also contains Capsicum Pepper. According to an article by Dr. Darrell L. Wolfe, Ac, Ph.D., capsicum “enhances the health of the circulatory and digestive systems by increasing the flow of enzymes and enhancing the function of organs.”
Another ingredient is Garlic. A review of recent clinical trials, published in the Journal of Hypertension, showed that garlic reduced high blood pressure in subjects between 1% and 5%. This led the report’s authors to conclude that the incidence of stroke could be cut by anything from 30-40%. Cardiovascular disease could be reduced by 20-25%.
According to The New York Times, a study published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences show that garlic boosts our levels of hydrogen sulfide. This acts as an antioxidant and transmits cellular signals that relax blood vessels and increases blood flow, thus reducing high blood pressure.
Another ingredient is Parsley Leaf. Yes, that stuff usually regarded as a “throw-away” garnish on your dinner plate is actually really good for you. It contains lots of folic acid, which is a critical nutrient for cardiovascular health. Folic acid helps turn potentially dangerous homocysteine into harmless molecules. This can greatly reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.
