About 220,000 people die of hypertension every year.In 2004, the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Science and Technology published a survey report on "Nutrition and Health Status of Chinese Residents", which showed that the prevalence rate of hypertension among adults in China was 18.3%, and the prevalence rate of dyslipidemia was 18.6%. That is, there are 160 million hypertensive patients and 160 million dyslipidemia, hypertension and other causes of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease deaths have accounted for the proportion of total population deaths has been as high as 40.7%!

To date, there are no effective drugs for treating hypertension. Western medicine, although fast-acting, but side effects, and injury to the liver and kidneys, can be said to drink hemlock. The Chinese medicine is slow to take effect, but it is gentle and does not harm the liver and kidney. Research has found that nourishing the liver and kidneys of Duchenne, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Scutellaria baicalensis, Atractylodes macrocephala, Magnolia officinalis, Molluscum contagiosum, Ganoderma lucidum, and so on, have a certain effect on lowering blood pressure.
