As IGIHE came to learn from Zirumuze New Life Clinic, a herbal medicine and treatment facility, a special tea made of \u2018Lippia citriodora\u2019 might just be the solution to locals and others suffering from high blood pressure. <\/p>\n

\u2018Lippia citriodora\u2019 is a plant used as an antihypertensive and commonly used as a relaxant and carminative herb that counteracts the effects of stress.<\/p>\n

Speaking to IGIHE, the Director of Zirumuze New Life Clinic, Nyakarundi Samuel, how Lippia citriodora which is commonly known as \u2018Lemon Verbana\u2019 due to its tangy lemon smell, is endowed with an antihypertensive effect and contributes to a better regulation of blood glucose levels.<\/p>\n

\u201cDue to several factors, tea made with Lippia has a great effect in regulating blood glucose levels and treating the pressure to a normal reading. When one has a high BP, we prescribe 25-30 grams to use for a period of 21 days. For those using it just for preventive means, we prescribe between 20-25 grams of the tea.\u201d Nyakarundi said<\/p>\n

According to research, you have a normal blood pressure reading at 120 over 80 and less than 140 over 90 (120\/80-140\/90). <\/p>\n

While high blood pressure remains a potentially life-threatening condition, it can be successfully managed through the correct medical treatment and positive life-style changes. <\/p>\n

Nyakarundi added that the Lippia tea the clinic makes, contributes in re-inforcing strength and diminishing stress. He further said that the one who consumes the tea has better chance at getting sleep and feeling more relaxed.<\/p>\n

Lippia also has various biological properties and acts as a defense against insects and parasites for injuries.<\/p>\n
