Patient's question:
According to my colleague, abalone has many benefits for the human body. My dad has high blood pressure, and I wonder if he can eat abalone. Is abalone good for high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Abalone has certain functions such as calming the liver and subduing Yang, relieving heat and improving eyesight, and moisturizing the lungs and promoting urination. It has a certain regulatory effect on patients with high blood pressure. The TCM pathogenesis of high blood pressure is often due to Yin deficiency and Yang excess, or liver heat. Therefore, eating abalone has some benefits, but if blood pressure truly rises, oral antihypertensive medication treatment is still necessary. The antihypertensive effect is relatively stable. A good mood is very helpful for the recovery of the disease.
