Extended information:

Many antihypertensive teas on the market are very popular, such as Kuding tea, Apocynum tea, Eucommia tea, chrysanthemum tea, Shouwu tea, Panax notoginseng tea, Hawthorn tea, etc., and some Chinese herbal mixed tea drinks are also popular. In fact, it is not advisable to achieve the purpose of reducing blood pressure just by drinking anti-hypertensive tea.

First of all, antihypertensive tea is not a drug. It is only sold on the market as a health product. Many merchants exaggerate, causing many hypertensive patients to think that as long as they drink antihypertensive tea, they do not need to take antihypertensive drugs, resulting in high blood pressure. If it remains high, it will eventually lead to damage to the heart, brain, kidneys, fundus and blood vessels.

Secondly, many people think that antihypertensive tea is a traditional Chinese medicine with no side effects and can be taken for a long time. In fact, this is not the case. For example, Polygonum multiflorum tea, regardless of its antihypertensive effect, oral administration of Polygonum multiflorum tea and its preparations has the risk of causing liver damage, especially when taken in excessive doses or for a long time, this risk will increase.

Thirdly, even if you take Chinese herbal tea, your constitution should be differentiated. Take chrysanthemum tea as an example. Chrysanthemum is slightly cold in nature and tastes sweet and bitter. It has the functions of dispersing wind, clearing away heat, calming the liver and improving eyesight. Therefore, chrysanthemum tea has an auxiliary antihypertensive effect on hypertensive patients with dizziness, brain swelling, red eyes, swelling and pain, and strong liver fire. . However, chrysanthemum tends to be cold and should not be taken for a long time.

This is especially true for Kuding tea. It is bitter and cold in nature. It has the functions of digesting and reducing phlegm, lowering fat and removing greasiness. The blood pressure lowering effect is not obvious. If drank for a long time, for people with weak spleen and stomach, not only the blood pressure will not be obvious. Changes will damage the spleen and stomach even more, and the gain outweighs the loss.

The main component of compound apocynum tablets, a common antihypertensive drug on the market, is apocynum extract. Many businesses will also focus on this point when advertising Apocynum tea. But there is a huge difference between a cup of Apocynum tea and a compound Apocynum tablet. Compound Apocynum tablets also contain antihypertensive ingredients from Western medicine. Therefore, it is not possible to control blood pressure by just drinking Apocynum tea.

Therefore, it is recommended that patients with hypertension should rely on antihypertensive drugs to steadily lower blood pressure. Antihypertensive tea should not play a major role in the treatment of hypertension. While drinking antihypertensive tea, antihypertensive drugs should not be stopped.
