Garlic for High Blood Pressure
Garlic illustration
Garlic is an herb in the onion family, grown mostly for its bulbs – the fleshy root of the plant used for cooking and medicinal purposes. Historically, garlic has been touted as a cure for fatigue, parasites, poor digestion, and respiratory ailments, and even such serious illnesses as tuberculosis and smallpox. More recent health claims have garlic as being beneficial in treating heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. It is also known to be an antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral.
Garlic to Lower Blood Pressure
Method
- Take garlic supplements as directed on the package, or incorporate between 1 and 4 cloves of garlic into your diet every day. The compounds in garlic that lower blood pressure are not destroyed by cooking, so you can enjoy garlic with any number of foods!
Why It Works
Garlic thins the blood, which reduces pressure inside the blood vessels.
Precautions
Always see your health professional about high blood pressure, and be sure to inform him/her about any supplements you are taking. Because garlic thins the blood, it may be unsafe when taken with prescription blood-thinners. People having surgery should stop taking garlic for a few weeks before and after surgery.
