Your doctor tells you that you might benefit from a diuretic for blood pressure, and a sedative for anxiety. <\/p>\nYour doctor tells you that you might benefit from a diuretic for blood pressure, and a sedative for anxiety. <\/p>\n
You are frustrated that his or her answer is limited to drugs and eliminates the possibility of a natural treatment method.<\/p>\n
There is a solution, though, that solves both problems, and it involves a nightly cup of a hot, delicious tea.<\/p>\n
Not found readily in stores, Linden is an herb that is gaining popularity online as a dried herb and also in capsules from a number of supplement manufacturers.<\/p>\n
Linden tea is made by steeping the dried herb for a few minutes in hot water. <\/p>\n
It contains a powerful chemical called farnesol, which is known to be a vasodilator. The tea works as a great natural diuretic as it promotes perspiration during sleep. <\/p>\n
We lose about a cup of water every night through our sleep cycles, but farnesol helps to prevent edema and water retention.<\/p>\n
The vasodilating effects of the farnesol help to relax blood vessels, lowering blood pressure. It also helps to naturally calm busy minds and actually relaxes the whole body.<\/p>\n
Because it works systemically, and can affect all the different parts of the body, it is important not to take this tea if you are already on a diuretic or vasodilator for high blood pressure without visiting with the doctor. <\/p>\n
Too much of a good thing is too much.<\/p>\n
Find it online with a simple Internet search or in health food stores either as an herb for tea or as a supplement in capsules.<\/p>\n
