SLC S21 Week 5 - Herbal Remedies for Respiratory Health, Iron Deficiency, and Blood Pressure Control

Greetings friends of Steemit and Teachers

Respiratory

Here are some of the most effective Indian herbs for respiratory health:

1.Ginger (Zingiber officinale)

Ginger has natural anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce inflammation in the airways, making it a useful herb for respiratory issues like asthma and bronchitis.

2.Turmeric (Curcuma longa)

Turmeric contains curcumin, which has potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that help alleviate respiratory issues like asthma, bronchitis, and COPD.

3.Tulsi (Ocimum sanctum)

Tulsi, also known as holy basil, is a natural expectorant that helps relieve congestion and coughs. It's also known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory advantages.

Iron Deficiency

Iron deficiency is the major cause for anemia too. We have completely eliminated to include iron in our diet, so I will suggest some of the common food which would help producing iron, hemoglobin and folic acid.

First one is Honey. Start your day with a glass of lukewarm water of lemon juice and Honey.

Second Dates are abundant in iron, calcium, potassium, zinc. Dates are even rich in magnesium and folates. They even have vitamin A and vitamin K and lots of other vitamins.

Ginger is another herb that helps with iron deficiency

Blood Pressure

Hypertension or blood pressure on your arteries when it is high can lead to heart disease blood pressure has a typical pattern where after waking up blood pressure slowly starts rising and it is at peak in the midday it then starts lowering in the afternoon and in the evening and by the night it is very much stable.

If you have a tendency of hypertension then throughout the day it remains High. I will give you two different recipes of drinks which can really help you to lower your hypertension.

Image	Ingredients	Function
	Amla	Amla is the most powerful ingredient which has been proven very effective in hypertension. It is rich in vitamin C and vitamin C is known to widen the blood vessel. It naturally lifts the pressure on the arteries.
	Ajwain	It has an active component called thymol, it is a calcium channel blocker, blocking calcium to enter the blood vessels thus promoting the relaxation in the vessel

The first drink in the morning as a drink is amla ajwain concoction. Take one whole fresh Amla or Gooseberry and make juice of it. To this juice add one teaspoon full caram seeds or ajwain is used to lower the blood pressure. and then add one teaspoon full of super turmeric, mix it well and then add one cup of warm water. Lastly add one spoon of honey and consume this drink early in the morning with an empty stomach and you will experience the difference.

Image	Ingredients	Description
	Bell pepper, capsicum carrots and tomato	Bell pepper which is rich in vitamin C helps to control hypertension along with that it is anti coagulant which doesn't allow blot clot formation and prevents heart attack due to it.
	Broccoli	Broccoli has three major minerals: magnesium calcium and potassium which aids in regulating blood pressure
	Olive oil	Virgin olive oil has phenol that helps in reducing diastolic blood pressure

The second drink is actually a soup which you could consume in the evening called broccoli and bell pepper soup. Let us first see what the ingredients are

Heat the sauce pan and saute bell peppers, capsicum, broccoli, carrots and tomato and sauté until they are soft. Grind cooked vegetables well take a vessel and add olive oil broccoli and garlic and saute it well, then add puree of vegetables and cook for a while pour in a cup and serve.

The ingredients shown in both the drinks have shown a promising effect in lowering blood pressure.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale): Ginger is another herb that helps with both iron deficiency and blood pressure.
