This
could be considered the most powerful heart herb on earth. And you most likely have it sitting in your
kitchen cabinets already.
In
a study published in the Indian
Journal of Biochemistry and Biophysics, not only did it help participants to drop high
blood pressure 19 points …
…
it also almost eliminated plaque build-up in their heart and oxidation of their
cells.
And
did I mention it’s delicious and can be found in all supermarkets dirt cheap?
Wonders of Cardamom –
It Can Drop High Blood Pressure
Cardamom is known as the
queen of spices.
It is native to the evergreen rainforests of southern India and also grown in
few tropical countries. Aromatic cardamom
acts as a breath freshener.
Apart
from being used for flavouring foods, cardamom
is used as a digestive tonic and an essential oil in aroma therapy. It has
antioxidant, disease-preventing and health-promoting properties.
Cardamom oil has therapeutic
properties and is used in many traditional medicines. It is also a good source
of minerals such as potassium, iron, calcium and magnesium.
Application
of cardamom paste to the forehead gives instant relief from headache. Chewing cardamom before going out in the hot
summer sun provides protection against heat strokes.
Regular
use of a mix of cardamom powder and honey gives relief from asthma and whooping
cough. It also helps improve the voice and hence, is consumed by vocalists.
Most
important it helps control high blood pressure!
The
researchers gave their volunteers (all suffering high blood pressure) 1.5 grams of cardamom powder, twice a day for
12 weeks.
One-quarter
of a tablespoon full equals around 1.5 grams, if you want to try this at home.
At
the end of the study, the participant’s average systolic blood pressure had
dropped 19 points and diastolic 12 points.
So,
those with high blood pressure of 140/90 could possibly bring their pressure
down to a healthy level of 120/80 using nothing but cardamom powder.
Even
more importantly, the antioxidant levels in their blood improved 90%. This is
extremely important as oxidation is the main cause of cholesterol
plaque build-up in the heart, causing heart attack and stroke.
But how does cardamom
help to drop high blood pressure so drastically?
Turns
out it has the exact same function as calcium channel blockers (one of the most
common blood pressure medications), without any side effects.
This
makes cardamom the most powerful herb I’ve heard of that can drop high blood pressure.
