You should stay away from some of these herbal teas if you have high blood pressure because it can be harmful to your health.

ginseng herbal tea

ginseng is a familiar herb in traditional medicine, often said to help increase energy and improve health. However, ginseng can cause changes in blood pressure - increase or decrease depending on the location. Therefore, before using this tea, you should consult a doctor or nutritionist to be good for your health.

Bach fruit herbal tea

Bachel tea is often promoted as helping to improve memory and blood circulation, but this herb can interact with some medications, especially blood thinners (antimodermicrobial). Combining cardamom with this drug can change the effectiveness of the drug or increase the risk of bleeding.

Some poor quality or improperly processed eggplant tea products may contain toxicity, so you should consult a doctor or health professional before using, especially when being treated with medication.

Licorice herbal tea

If you have high blood pressure, licorice tea may not be a safe choice. Licorice contains glycyrrhizinic acid, which can increase blood pressure, cause headaches, fatigue and even affect the cardiovascular system.

A study published in 2024 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that just 100 grams of licorice can significantly increase blood pressure. The compound glycyrrhizinic causes the body to retain water and sodium, disrupting fluid balance and affecting kidney function.

Because the content of this compound in licorice tea is difficult to determine, it is impossible to give a safe dosage. Therefore, people with high blood pressure should avoid drinking licorice tea. If you love its flavor, you can replace it with salmon tea, which has a similar flavor but is safer for the heart and blood pressure.
