In this article you will learn how to make tea for high blood pressure. There is a herb called yarrow. This herb can be used to create a tea to help lower high blood pressure.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Dried yarrow herb
  • Tea ball
  • Teapot, sauce pan, or cup
  • Sweetener (optional)
Step1
Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a teapot on top of a stove. Once the water comes to a boil turn the heat off and allow the water to stop boiling.
Step2
Add a heaping tablespoon of dried yarrow herb to a tea ball. Make sure the tea ball is closed tightly and then add it to the teapot.
Step3
Allow the hot water and herbs to steep for five minutes. The longer you let it steep the stronger the tea will become. If you like strong tea then I suggest letting it steep for ten minutes or so.
Step4
Once the yarrow tea has steeped long enough to your liking you can then pour the tea into a cup and drink it hot or allow it to cool and place a few ice cubes into the cup of tea. Add your favorite sweetener to the cup of tea if needed.
Step5
Enjoy this interesting yarrow tea to help lower high blood pressure.

Tips & Warnings

  • If you don't own a teapot or don't wish to use one then simply use a small sauce pan in place of it.
  • If you would rather, you can place a cup of water in the microwave, and let it stay in there until it becomes steaming hot and then follow the directions for using the herbs and tea ball in the water.
  • Do not drink if you are allergic to the herb yarrow.
  • If drinking hot then be careful how hot you drink it, allowing it to cool some, so that you don't burn yourself.
  • Do not add a larger amount of herbs than the amount that is stated within this article.
