Low Blood Pressure - Hypotension

Introduction:

Chronically low blood pressure is when the blood pressure is consistently lower than 100mm Hg and the Diastolic 60 to 80mm Hg. Vegans and vegetarians usually have a lower blood pressure, (say 110/70) than a meat eater whose normal blood pressure averages 120/80 in a healthy young person. This is fine unless accompanied by fatigue and lethargy when exercising. The thyroid, bowel and lymph systems will all need monitoring. Anaemia may also be a factor, particularly in long-term vegans. See anaemia for further information. In crisis situations, low blood pressure is a sign of trauma, otherwise it can indicate active heart disease. Close monitoring is essential.

Nutritional Advice:

Horseradish, hot mustard or plenty of Garlic and Raw Chilli in the diet will help and other foods that assist potential sluggish circulation.

Herb Quality:

A large proportion of our herbs are grown in English soils, harvested using bio-chemistry analysis and many but not always, processed fresh, which heightens their remedial properties. The majority are grown organically and or sustainably wild-crafted. All manufacturing is carried out using licensed good manufacturing practice.
