LOW BLOOD PRESSURE
Symptoms:
Insufficient blood pressure for normal circulatory and nutritive activity.
Cause:
Low blood and high blood pressure are both due to malfunction of the circulatory system. High blood pressure in many cases works just like low blood pressure. Cholesterol must be eliminated from the system in order to get the blood flowing more freely. The condition is brought about by improper diet, insufficient rest and exercise and a lack of vitality within the system.
Herbal aids:
More oxygen is needed to correct this condition. Garlic is a good oxygen carrier. One of the greatest aids for low or high blood pressure because of oxygen starvation is deep breathing, which serves as a catalyst and helps the herbs react more rapidly. An immediate increase in circulation may be obtained by the use of cayenne and non mucus-forming foods. Grape juice as well as other juices rebuild and give endurance to the system.
Useful herbs:
Blue cohosh, burnet, cayenne, gentian, golden seal, hyssop, prickly ash, red pepper, sassafras, skullcap, vervain, wood betony.
