Patient's question:
My father carefully checked and found he has high blood pressure. He likes to drink tea very much. Hello, can people with high blood pressure drink chrysanthemum tea?Doctor's answer:
Your father suffers from hypertension, which is believed by traditional Chinese medicine to fall under the category of hyperactivity of liver yang. Chrysanthemum has the effect of boosting liver yang and offers certain health benefits for patients with high blood pressure. You can drink chrysanthemum tea, take antihypertensive medication on schedule, and regularly check your blood pressure to keep it under control. Pay attention to a light diet, avoid pickled and greasy foods, and do not smoke or drink beer. Adhere to a low-salt, low-fat, light, easy-to-digest, and easy-to-eat diet to prevent stomach upset. Measure your blood pressure frequently, eat more vegetables and fruits, and always maintain regular bowel movements.
