Teas That Help With Blood Pressure?

What teas can help with blood pressure that is too high?

It's worth first mentioning that some people think that tea is bad for your blood pressure because it contains caffeine. Whilst drinking tea or coffee can affect your blood pressure reading if taken just before, caffeine is not necessarily bad for you. There is no hard evidence of it.

In fact, tea contains many healthy compounds such as catechins. But, more importantly, many teas contain L-theanine, a natural sedative amino acid. This reduces mental and physical stress which is one of the big three important factors implicated in high blood pressure (the others are diet and exercise).

L-theanine is most abundant in green tea but is also present in lesser amounts in other teas too. You don't even need to drink the tea frequently if you don't want to as there are also supplements available.

L-theanine is fast acting and usually comes on in about 30 minutes. The ideal dosage is not clear but most people take a dose of between 50 and 200 mg at a time. The FDA advise no more than 1200 mg over 24 hours. Obviously, it is always best to spread a dose during such a period instead of taking a single dose of 1200 mg each day.
