Question Details
Herbal Impact On Blood Pressure
by drwells - March 3, 2022
I have a renal dysplasia 6 month old who is on Liu Jun Zu Tang(Natural Path) and Epimedium formula (JT). Does any one know if any specific ingredients in either of these formulas would increase blood pressure. This patient's pressure has been stable and now is about 40 points higher. Any experience in this matter would be appreciated.

Hi there,

Sorry I didn't see this question until now. I assume the question is moot, but in case it's not:

Blood pressure rising on pure tonics implies the case is an excess. Adding tonics to an Excess case is like shaking up an unopened pop bottle. It just pressurizes. That would be reflected in a strong pulse.

If that's what you saw, Minor Bupleurum might be an appropriate place to start
