Patient's question:
My mother has high blood pressure. Recently, I've been stewing poria tea, but it's hard to finish. I wanted to share it with my mother, so I came to ask specifically: can people with high blood pressure eat poria tea?Doctor's answer:
Patients with hypertension can appropriately consume Poria tea. Drinking Poria tea will never cause or alleviate high blood pressure. Poria has the effects of tonifying qi, promoting blood circulation, and regulating menstruation, and is known as "gynecological ginseng." It is a commonly used medicine for gynecological conditions. It can treat anemia caused by blood deficiency. Patients with hypertension who have contraindications to Poria can take it orally appropriately. Patients with hypertension should follow a low-sodium diet. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
