Patients with hypertension can drink American ginseng. Patients with hypertension may have some effect in the auxiliary treatment of Chinese medicine, such as American ginseng, ginseng, Panax ginseng powder and so on. However, patients with hypertension should not rely too much on Chinese medicine to lower their blood pressure, because this type of Chinese medicine generally does not have a clear standard for blood pressure control, it is recommended that patients should take normal oral Western medicine, such as nifedipine extended-release tablets, amlodipine, valsartan, irbesartan, enalapril and so on. Patients with hypertension should adhere to regular oral antihypertensive drugs to control blood pressure within the normal range. Generally speaking, for young patients or patients with combined diabetes, it is recommended to control blood pressure below 130/80 mmHg. In the elderly, the range can be relaxed to 140/90mmHg or less.
