Remedies for High Blood Pressure

Garlic's use as both food and medicine dates back over 5,000 years to ancient Egypt, where it was given to pyramid builders for strength. It has been used across cultures to treat everything from infections to heart disease. Its role in cardiovascular health, particularly for cholesterol and blood pressure, is one of its most studied attributes.

Hawthorn has been revered for centuries in Europe as a premier heart tonic. Roman physician Dioscorides wrote of it, and it was used in traditional European medicine to treat heart failure, high blood pressure, and irregular heartbeats. It was often called the 'heart's valet' for its gentle yet profound effects.

Known as 'Zobo' in Nigeria and 'Karkade' in Egypt, hibiscus has been a popular beverage in Africa and across the tropics for centuries. Traditionally, it was used to cool the body, treat liver issues, and, most notably, to lower high blood pressure. Its vibrant red color and tart flavor make it a refreshing drink.
