Dear Susun,
I am writing in regards to my father. He is a 51 year old male with many
children to bless him each day. He currently works real hard 5-6 days a
week. The doctor has put him on medication for high blood pressure, and I
don't particularly think that medication is best for him. He was diagnosed
with testicular lymphoma in 2002 and had both testicles removed. He went
through about 4 sessions of chemotherapy and done 2 spinal tap thingys, that
I know it had to be painful. He eventually gave up on the chemo. His last
visit with his neurologist came back as a clean bill of health, but I am
still worried about his blood pressure. So I am trying to find which herb
would be best for controlling his blood pressure so he can get off of his
prescription. Also, he has to take a hormone shot every month, which costs
him alot of money.
If you can give any advice as to which herb will help in that area that would be great!!
One more thing before I go, as a nursing mother, are there any herbal
infusions that I should be leery of, and which ones would be most beneficial for my baby.
Thank you for taking the time to read about my concerns, and I hope to hear
from you very soon.
Hello....the only infusions we recommend to all people, mothers included,
are nourishing herbal infusions, including nettles leaf, comfrey leaf,
oatstraw, red clover, and linden. Each brewed as a simple. All are
beneficial to drink on a regular ongoing basis.
To lower blood pressure, eaten daily garlic will do this..

Lower your blood pressure and improve your memory. In a study of 200 men and
women, those with even moderately high blood pressure (164/89) had more
memory problems than those with normal blood pressures. A dropperful of
motherwort tincture (Leonurus cardiaca) daily dependably lowers blood
pressure and can generally be used safely with drugs if desired. (Do not use
capsules of any herb while you are taking a drug.)
Sending love,
Justine
