Effect of Chamomile Tea on Blood Pressure

There is a widespread belief among the people based on the use of chamomile tea in increasing blood pressure. In addition, some literature and medicinal products and herbal product prescriptions have partial information on the blood pressure-lowering effect of chamomile. However, in studies approved by the World Health Organization (WHO), it has not been shown that daisy has hypo or hypertensive effects. Similarly, in practical studies, it has not been observed that daisy has a direct effect on blood pressure. Chamomile is also regarded as a plant that has a neutral effect against blood pressure by experts who carry out studies on plants.
However, stress, irritability, insomnia, and fatigue are also important factors in the formation of high blood pressure. The calming and calming effect of daisy also plays a role in reducing blood pressure indirectly, by affecting the sleep order, reducing irritability, anxiety, and stress. For this purpose, chamomile, which is included in many medicines and herbal food supplements, is used extensively as a component in blood pressure medications. This has played a role in spreading the misconception that daisy is an effective therapeutic for high blood pressure.
Daisy does not directly affect blood pressure reduction or elevation. However, health problems such as elevation and fall of blood pressure are generally a symptom that occurs due to one or more causes. Daisy has positive effects on many of these symptoms and thus indirectly contributes to the improvement of blood pressure.
