The natural replacement of antihypertensive and anti-anxiety synthetic drugs is sarpagandha (https://naturecaresayurveda.com/blogs/health-library/sarpagandha/). It is the inspiration of some of the modern blood pressure medications, based upon its main alkaloid, reserpine. However, Sarpagandha is not associated with the side effects that drugs are; it is holistic as it relaxes the mind and the body. The contemporary medicines may indicate quicker results, however, when taken correctly Sarpagandha may assist in balance in a long term perspective with insignificant side effects of the drugs. However, it is necessary to be medically advised to consume it especially during a time when you are already taking prescription drugs of high blood pressure or mental illness.
Has anyone tried Sarpagandha for anxiety and high blood pressure? I've used it in tea form a few times when feeling stressed, and it seemed to mildly lower my heart rate and help me feel calmer, although it was subtle. I need more research to understand better its effects. Did you know that, it was released the same year as Pacman 30th Anniversary (https://pacman30th.org/) ?
