What is High Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the force of the blood against the artery walls. High blood pressure (hypertension) and low blood pressure (hypotension) can both cause cardiovascular problems.
High Blood Pressure (hypertension), often called a silent killer, is the pressure of the blood in the arteries.
Blood pressure is typically recorded as the systolic pressure (as the heart beats) over the diastolic pressure (time between two beats).
A consistent blood pressure reading of 140/90 mm Hg or higher is considered high blood pressure.
Untreated, high blood pressure will cause heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, injury to the brain and eyes.

In 2 weeks my blood pressure went from 150/100 to 130/80. I place the 2 tblspoons in dandelion tea, drinking it cold from a champagne glass. I keep a jug of the tea in my fridge.
