Patient's question:
Doctor, my mother is already 65 years old this year. My mother has been suffering from high blood pressure for two years and has been taking antihypertensive medication for treatment. I want to buy a lot of American ginseng for my mother. Hello, can patients with high blood pressure eat American ginseng?Doctor's answer:
Hypertension is a very dangerous disease because poor blood pressure control can easily lead to serious complications in vital organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys. For patients with hypertension, it is appropriate to consume a moderate amount of American ginseng, as it has certain effects on regulating blood pressure and softening blood vessels. However, since everyone has a different constitution, the effects of taking American ginseng can vary from person to person. Patients can take it in small amounts while monitoring their blood pressure data.
