Natural remedies for low blood pressure, or hypotension, are herbs and medicinal plants with active ingredients with a tonic, stimulating and remineralizing action, rich in mineral salts and vitamins, useful to counteract the sense of tiredness that results.
This disorder is characterized by pressure values lower than the norm. In numerical terms, a person suffers from hypotension when his arterial pressure at rest falls below 90/60 mm Hg .
The first value, called systolic (or maximum) arterial pressure, depends on the strength of cardiac contraction and the elasticity of the arterial walls; the second, called diastolic (or minimal) arterial pressure, depends instead on peripheral resistances.
Arterial hypotension: symptoms and causes
When low blood pressure is physiological, and values fall within the normal minimum limits, it is even considered positive, since it protects from various cardiovascular diseases. If hypotension is a constitutional characteristic, and therefore not pathological, the body is able to compensate for this situation, ensuring adequate blood supply to the vital organs and avoiding fainting.
This condition occurs more frequently in women who, compared to men of the same age, have slightly lower blood pressure values; and it occurs more in pregnancy, due to the important progesterone-induced vasodilation.
Hypotension takes on clinical significance when accompanied by signs of cerebral distress . Depending on their intensity, slight disturbances may appear, such as mild dizziness or more severe manifestations, such as fainting or syncope . It may be the result of bleeding or dehydration (diabetes, protracted diarrhea and vomiting, extensive burns and excessive sweating). Some drugs can also cause low blood pressure such as diuretics, beta blockers, narcotics and some antidepressants .
Pathological hypotension can be found in diseases of various nature, capable of causing sudden (acute) or chronic pressure drops; or it may be caused by decreased cardiac output or decreased vascular resistance . To these two factors a third must be added, represented by the decrease in plasma volume (hypovolemia). At the origin of hypotension there may also be cardiac pump dysfunctions, such as arrhythmias, tachycardia or acute myocardial infarction. Other causes of hypotension are severe (septicemic) infections, thyroid dysfunction, allergic reactions and anemia (including those induced by nutritional deficiencies of folic acid and vitamin B12).
Pocket foods against low blood pressure
Natural remedies for low blood pressure
When hypotension is not associated with particular signs or symptoms, it generally does not require specific treatment or care.
However, it can help increase the water and salt intake in the diet and supplement with natural remedies for low blood pressure with a toning and remineralizing action .
Licorice
Licorice for those suffering from low blood pressure can be beneficial because it increases blood pressure, but for the same reason it should be consumed sparingly.
Adaptogenic plants
To the category of adaptogenic plants belong ginseng, with tonic properties, eleuterococcus, rhodiola rosea and guarana, plants able to act on the immune, endocrine and nervous systems and to improve the body's ability to adapt to stress and climate or seasonal changes, reinforcing those systems.
They are traditionally used to counteract to relieve fatigue, fatigue, apathy, and poor vitality.
Spirulina
The intake of spirulina balances and completes our diet, when a sedentary lifestyle, and the modern diet, poor in micronutrients, stress and pollution weaken our body making us vulnerable and preventing the natural state of health. Nutrulina is very rich and balanced, spirulina alga is considered a complete food, because it contains amino acids, highly bioavailable, minerals (above all iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium and selenium), vitamins (B complex, folic acid, Vitamin A, C and E) and essential fatty acids .
Rooibos tea
The rooibos tea is a real infusion of wellness, a gift of nature, an elixir of youth. Rooibos tea contains proteins, mineral salts and a lot of vitamin C.
Specifically, when drinking a cup, take 0.07 mg of iron, 1.09 mg of calcium, 0.04 mg of zinc, 7.12 mg of potassium, 0.07 mg of copper, 1.57 mg of magnesium, 0.04 mg of manganese, 6.16 mg of sodium. Rooibos tea is practically a very rich antioxidant .
Pomegranate
Pomegranate juice is a mine of vitamins A, B, C and tannins with astringent, tonic and refreshing properties . It manages to slow down the oxidative process that is at the origin of atherosclerosis thanks to the high content of flavonoids .
It keeps cholesterol levels under control and is beneficial for the cardiovascular system.
Pollen
Pollen is rich in protein (6-30%); amino acids (15-22%); lipids (1-10%); unsaturated fatty acids and sterols ; carbohydrates (up to 50% in the dry state); simple sugars (4-10%); water (12-20%); vitamins (vit.C, A, ac.pantotenico, ac.folico, complex B); enzymes; hormones; antibiotic factors; mineral salts (iron, calcium, magnesium potassium and zinc) and flavonoid i.
In the nucleus of its cell, pollen holds the secret of life: the DNA and RNA molecules that establish the vital function of all cells. Thanks to these substances, it strengthens and nourishes the entire organism, combats states of psychophysical fatigue and is an excellent antioxidant .
Even royal jelly is considered an excellent remedy against demineralization of the organism and its deterioration due to causes such as anemia, malnutrition, excessive thinness and hypotension.
