Herbal Approaches to Hypertension Management: A Review of Phytotheraphy

Abstract

The effectiveness of several phyto-therapeutic approaches in treating hypertension, a major cause of cardiovascular disease and death globally, is investigated in this systematic review. Many cultures continue to rely heavily on traditional medicine, especially in developing nations where the prevalence of hypertension is rising. This essay addresses how phytochemicals, particularly polyphenols, flavonoids and carotenoids, which are present in plants like celery (Apium graveolens) and garlic (Allium sativum), might regulate blood pressure. In order to shed light on these natural compounds' antihypertensive qualities, the review summarizes evidence from experimental trials. It emphasizes how these compounds work by improving endothelial function and having antioxidant effects. Furthermore, the study describes the chemical components of many medicinal plants and their therapeutic uses, highlighting the possibility of creating natural antihypertensive drugs.
