- Asparagus reduces blood pressure, slows the heart rate, and improves the strength of heart contractions.
When selecting herbs for the treatment of hypertension, it is worth considering different mechanisms of action on the pathogenesis of high blood pressure, for example:
- Sweet clover, motherwort, and chokeberry berries have a pronounced hypotensive effect; Plantain, viburnum, and calamus root reduce blood pressure more moderately.
- The calming effect is aimed at reducing nervous excitability and increasing stress resistance. Mint, lemon balm, linden blossom, and chamomile have a sedative effect.
- Antispasmodics dilate blood vessels and, due to this, blood pressure decreases. Fennel, dill, anise, and dandelion root are used for this purpose.

Herbal preparations such as cardiac glycosides deserve special attention. These include medicinal herbs such as strophanthus, adonis, and foxglove. Their intake increases the contractile force of the heart muscle, reduces heart rate, and improves the efficiency of blood circulation in the myocardium by reducing its need for oxygen. When using these herbs, you should remember that they tend to accumulate effects and require a gradual reduction in dose. Uncontrolled use of glycosides can lead to serious complications: arrhythmia, worsening heart failure, decreased heart rate. Therefore, drugs are dispensed in pharmacies strictly according to prescription.
