REVIEW ON PROTECTIVE EFFECT OF MEDICINAL PLANTS ON HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS

Blood pressure, which is the force of circulating blood on blood vessel walls, is one of the vital indicators. The pressure that blood exerts on blood vessel walls increases when the major arteries lose their inherent strength and flexibility and the smaller ones narrow. A major cause of death in every country, high blood pressure is perilous and extremely destructive to the heart and blood vessels. Since many patients are worried about the negative effects of chemical medications, they frequently choose herbal medicines to control their blood pressure. The safety and effectiveness of a single herb or combination of herbal items in decreasing blood pressure have been the subject of much investigation; some studies have produced positive results, while others have produced negative ones. There is additional scientific proof that certain herbs, such as quince, green and white mulberries, garlic, saffron, and grape seed, can lower blood pressure. The scientific literature of clinical trials and animal research that assessed the safety and efficacy of herbs in decreasing blood pressure was thoroughly reviewed in this study.
