Ginseng is capable of raising blood pressure. Patients with high blood pressure should always monitor their blood pressure when taking ginseng. If the blood pressure is poorly controlled recently, ginseng is not recommended, as it may aggravate further elevation of blood pressure. If the blood pressure of hypertensive patients is well controlled, they can take ginseng or ginseng preparations as appropriate. Taking ginseng is still very beneficial to the body. Ginseng has the function of lifting the qi, nourishing the pulse, generating fluid and improving microcirculation, which is very helpful for patients with hypertension, because hypertension is most prone to microvascular lesions and arteriosclerosis, and ginseng can just counteract this effect of hypertension. When taking ginseng, patients with hypertension should, in principle, take a very small dose at a time and for a long time.
