Can patients with high blood pressure take hawthorn and cassia seeds

Hawthorn and cassia seeds both belong to traditional Chinese medicine and both have certain blood pressure-lowering effects. Patients with hypertension can take hawthorn and cassia seeds as adjunctive treatment measures for hypertension, but it is not recommended to use hawthorn and cassia seeds as the main treatment for hypertension instead of standardized treatment for hypertension. Patients with hypertension should take standardized antihypertensive treatment for hypertension, actively engage in therapeutic lifestyle control, maintain a healthy lifestyle for a long time, reasonably choose blood pressure-lowering drugs according to the specific conditions of hypertensive patients, and achieve individualized antihypertensive treatment. In addition to lowering blood pressure, patients should also actively control other cardiovascular risk factors, such as hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia, and hyperhomocysteine, to achieve long-term blood pressure control.
