Next, we added Borage (Borago officinalis) is a flowering plant whose leaves and oil have various health benefits. It is particularly known for its rich content of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and other beneficial compounds. Borage is one of the highest sources of GLA, an omega-6 fatty acid that has anti-inflammatory properties. GLA may help balance hormones, and its anti-inflammatory properties can contribute to reducing pain and swelling. The anti-inflammatory effects of GLA can improve vascular health, potentially lowering blood pressure. By enhancing blood flow and reducing inflammation, borage may help reduce strain on the heart and blood vessels and it may help lower cholesterol levels, contributing to better heart health and potentially lower blood pressure. We have also added Holy Basil. Holy basil, also known as Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum), is a revered herb in Ayurvedic medicine.

Bilberry was added because it contains various nutrients, including anthocyanins, flavonoids, and phenolic acids, which give it its characteristic deep blue color and potent antioxidant properties. Bilberries contain vitamin K, which can help prevent blood clots that could cause a heart attack or stroke and can help to lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels. Bilberry’s antioxidant properties may help to reduce oxidative stress in the body, which is a key contributor to the development of high blood pressure and other chronic diseases. Olive Leaf because it has been shown to help prevent LDL cholesterol from building up in arteries, increasing blood flow, and lowering blood pressure, which reduces the risk of heart disease. Polyphenols found in olive leaves have been found to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and consumption of phenolic-rich olive leaf extract can significantly reduce blood pressure in individuals with hypertension and have shown that olive leaf extract lowers blood pressure in people with hypertension, with results comparable to those from a popular blood pressure medication.
