The use of fruits favorably affects the condition of joints, organs of the urinary and digestive systems, but most importantly, it positively affects the work of the heart and blood vessels. Viburnum also affects blood pressure indicators.
Since ancient times, Kalina has the glory of a medicinal plant; in folk medicine, berries with a specific taste are actively used in the treatment of many diseases. The beneficial effect is due to its rich composition: among the components are fatty oil, bioflavonoids saponins, vitamins A, E, P, ascorbic acid, tannins and minerals (iodine, manganese, copper, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus), etc.

The effect of viburnum on pressure
Reduces viburnum pressure or increases? It was proved that the use of berries for hypertension leads to a decrease in tonometer. The action is determined by the content of the oils: they provide a diuretic effect, and when the excess fluid is removed from the body, a natural decrease in pressure occurs. The healing properties of viburnum red with hypertension complement other useful components, in particular, amino acids and flavonoids that cleanse blood vessels and improve their condition.
Kalina from high blood pressure can be used in its pure form or as an ingredient in traditional medicine. The method of application depends on the specific situation, so consider a few common recipes.
At high pressure
The easiest way to lower the pressure is to grind fresh viburnum with honey in a ratio of 3 to 1. After half an hour, juice with pulp can be taken in a tablespoon after eating no more than 4 times a day. To normalize the condition, a two-week course is required.
Other means can be prepared independently:
- tincture of vodka for hypertension. For 500 grams of viburnum, half a liter of alcohol-containing drink is required. The ingredients are combined in a glass jar, tightly closed with a lid and insisted for 3 weeks in a place protected from sunlight, periodically shaking the contents. The finished filtered medicine is consumed three times a day for a teaspoon after a meal;
- water infusion. Two tablespoons of dried berries are poured with a glass of boiling water and kept in a thermos for at least 3 hours. After complete cooling, the composition is filtered and taken 100 ml three times a day for a month. When adding mountain ash and hawthorn flowers during the preparation of the infusion, you can get an excellent remedy for arrhythmia;
- decoction. One hundred grams of fresh or frozen berries are poured into 500 ml of water and sent to a water bath. After a third of the hour, the container is removed from the fire, sweetened with honey or sugar, optionally cooled and filtered. It is useful to take the drug at least 4-5 times a day, 50 ml each.
With hypotension
How to prepare viburnum from high blood pressure is already clear, but the question remains what to do with hypotension. With reduced pressure, the use of berries-based products as part of solving other health problems is not prohibited. They act gently, and the strength of the effect is proportional to the duration of administration, so the condition is not exacerbated and there are no additional unpleasant symptoms in the form of dizziness or fainting.
