Herbal Support for Hypertension: Garlic, Celery, Cayenne & Kudzu

Lifestyle First

• Reduce sodium, saturated fat, alcohol.
• Increase potassium (fruits, vegetables).
• Exercise 30 min/day.
• Stress management.

Evidence-Based Herbs

• Garlic: Aged extract (600–1200 mg/day) modestly lowers BP.
• Celery seed extract: 3nB (butylphthalide) relaxes vessels.
• Cayenne (capsaicin): Improves circulation, may lower BP over time.
• Kudzu root (Pueraria lobata): Isoflavones show antihypertensive effect in studies.

Protocol

Monitor BP daily. Herbs adjunct, not replacement for prescribed meds without doctor. Kudzu extract available from grannyherb.com.

Caution

Herbs can potentiate medications → hypotension. Never combine unsupervised.
