In principle, the treatment of hypertension should aim at lowering the blood pressure gradually, by small margins, and protect the body organs at the same time. In regard to society at large, the ultimate aim is to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular diseases and the mortality from them. How is hypertension to be controlled, then? In the opinion of traditional Chinese medical scholars, the problem should be tackled from what is at the root. They think that the basic task is to make the blood vessels free for blood to pass through, to increase the elasticity of the blood vessels and prevent them from hardening, and to nourish the liver so as to make it more powerful in performing its functions and purifying blood.

Anti-hypertension Tea-leaf flower is a health-care product which can cure or prevent hypertension. But what is Anti-hypertension tea-leaf flower? It is an organism of the vegetable kingdom which has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for almost a thousand years. China is a country with many dialects. The plant we are now considering has quite a few dialect names.

Anti-hypertension Tea-leaf flower is the literal, or semantic, translation of just one of these dialect names. The other dialect names would best be translated phonetically, for their literal translations would each carry some irrelevant significance. For example, a popular name is phonetically lobma, which is not suitable for literal translation. When in difficulty of mutual understanding, we may use its scientific name, which is Apocynum venetum.

Anti-hypertension Tea-leaf flower is more than a simple health-care drink. It can be used as a medicine to cure hypertension. What is especially noteworthy in this respect is that in most cases the therapeutic effect increases progressively instead of decreasing with the period of administration of this tea as a medicine. This fact once filled people with wonder.

After making due investigations, some scholars claimed that they had found the cause of this progressive increase in efficacy of Anti-hypertension tea-leaf flower in alleviating the symptoms of hypertension. The active ingredients of this herbal medicine tend to stay in blood for a long time. The accumulation of increments of these active ingredients in the blood over a long period makes for elevation of the total effect and causes the medicine to seem more and more efficacious.

The active ingredients that the Anti-hypertension tea-leaf flower contains are flavone (2%) (including rutin) and other chemicals, such as anthraquinone derivatives, glutamine acid, and steroids.

According to the Chinese Clinical Handbook for New Ways of Using Common Medicines, 596 people were kept on record in an experiment. Each of these people steeped 3-6 grams of Anti-hypertension tea-leaf flower in boiling water and drank the beverage so made as if it were common tea. They did so for three months. Of these 596 people, 254 showed no more symptoms of hypertension or showed conspicuous alleviation of the symptoms, there were 143 whose blood pressure had been lowered to below 140/90 mm Hg, and there were 268 whose systolic or diastolic pressure had become lower by 19.5 mm Hg. This means that the rate of effectiveness of Anti-hypertension tea-leaf flower in curing hypertension was over 85%. It was also found that the rate of effectiveness of drinking the tea for a period of 6 months reached 93.3%. As mentioned in the preceding paragraph, the active ingredients of the medicinal tea tend to stay in the blood for a long time. This phenomenon precludes to a large extent a rebound of the blood pressure. Of course, it is advisable that you continue drinking the tea after your blood pressure has come down to the normal level.

Main ingredients of Anti-hypertension Tea-leaf flower

Anti-hypertension Tea-leaf flower is a shrublike herb. Its tender leaves are generally plucked in July because at that time of the year the herb, or shrub, is under the greatest vaporizing influence and all the constituents that are beneficial to human health are rising into the top branches. Therefore, the tender leaves on the top branches have the highest medicinal value besides being very fragrant like flowers. The tender leaves plucked in July are processed in the same way as green tea, which means that they do not undergo any fermentation. The processed leaves are compact in form and deep green in color with enduring fragrance. The beverage made by steeping them in boiling water is aromatic and tasteful. It is a flavorful natural drink. Anti-hypertension Tea-leaf flower is a drink that has been proved in rigorous tests to be able to regulate and stabilize blood pressure.
