Imagine this. Your doctor has prescribed a diuretic for blood pressure and a sedative for anxiety.<\/p>\nImagine this. Your doctor has prescribed a diuretic for blood pressure and a sedative for anxiety.<\/p>\n
You are frustrated that the answer is limited to drugs and doesn\u2019t consider natural treatments.<\/p>\n
But there is a solution, and this natural treatment has the exact same function as the drugs\u2026 without the side effects.<\/p>\n
And it involves a nightly cup of a hot, delicious tea.<\/p>\n
Linden is an herb that is gaining popularity online, both as a dried herb and in capsule form, and this can be found from a number of supplement manufacturers.<\/p>\n
The tea is made by steeping the dried herb in hot water for a few minutes.<\/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, thus lowering blood pressure. It also helps to naturally calm busy minds and actually relaxes the entire body.<\/p>\n
Because it works systemically and can affect various 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 a prior visit to the doctor.<\/p>\n
Too much of a good thing is just too much.<\/p>\n
Find it online with a simple Internet search or in health food stores. This can either come as an herb for tea or as a supplement in capsules.<\/p>\n
