Thursday Blend - Herbal Tea for High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure (Hypertension) is caused when blood flows through blood vessels, or arteries, at higher than normal pressures. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries as the heart pumps blood. High blood pressure is when this force against the artery walls is too high. This tea blend addresses high blood pressure using the following uniquely selected herbs, roots and proportions: Ashwagandha – Ashwagandha is used to reduce levels of fat and sugar in the blood.  Ashwagandha is also used as an "adaptogen" to help the body cope with daily stress, and as a general tonic. Ashwagandha is used for arthritis, anxiety, bipolar disorder.  Ashwagandha may decrease blood pressure.  Ashwagandha should be used cautiously if you have low blood pressure or take medications for your blood pressure. Rhodiola – Rhodiola contains salidroside, flavonoids, terpenoids, sterols, tannins and many other compounds.  Salidroside contributes to reducing blood pressure an
