What is included in the monastery tea and does it really help with hypertension

Hypertension, like, unfortunately, many other diseases, is becoming the lot of the young. Medicines prescribed by official medicine, the patient most often has to take throughout his life. It is not surprising that those suffering from high blood pressure seek to use folk remedies, the main of which is monastery tea for hypertension.

Causes of hypertension

The rhythm of modern life is accelerating more and more, for many people the schedule is so tight that there is no time even just to walk in the fresh air. Stress, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet - all this does not benefit the body. Therefore, unfortunately, a large number of people in Russia suffer from hypertension, and not necessarily the elderly.

• bad habits: smoking, alcohol and even excessive consumption of carbonated drinks;
• excess weight;
• nervous overload;
• sedentary lifestyle;
• excessive consumption of salt and salty foods.

Hypertension may not make itself felt for a long time, especially since many people do not have the habit of having a blood pressure monitor at home and regularly measuring their pressure. The disease, meanwhile, progresses, which in the future will lead to problems with the heart (in particular heart failure), nervous system or liver, heart attacks and strokes.

Therefore, people who notice the symptoms of hypertension in themselves - regular headaches, dizziness, nausea - should immediately consult a doctor to avoid undesirable consequences. You should also think about adjusting your lifestyle - increasing physical activity, eating healthy, losing weight.

With advanced hypertension, the patient has to constantly take medications on a different chemical basis. If the disease was captured at an early stage, then herbal preparations, in particular monastic tea, can also help. It can also be combined with treatment and in serious stages of the disease.

What is monastery tea

Belarus is considered to be the birthplace of monastery tea. It was there that the monks made the recipe for this medicine several centuries ago and passed it down from generation to generation.

Since the ingredients of the tea grow in an ecologically clean place, such a drink can benefit the body in addition to treating hypertension. However, over the centuries of history, the monks have developed a special algorithm for drying and storing plants before sending tea for sale.

• normalization of blood pressure;
• elimination of the likelihood of a hypertensive crisis;
• elimination of headaches;
• lowering cholesterol;
• anti-inflammatory action;
• cleaning and increasing the elasticity of blood vessels;
• improved metabolism;
• calming effect.

Also, among the possible beneficial effects, an increase in appetite, normalization of digestion and an increase in the patient's immunity are indicated.

In a word, in addition to a positive effect on pressure, tea also has a restorative and tonic effect on the body.

However, before you start taking this folk medicine, it is still recommended to consult with your doctor. The need for this lies in the concept called "polypharmacy".

In modern medicine, there is an opinion that when a patient is prescribed more than five drugs for simultaneous administration, mutual reactions can begin with an unpredictable result. This is what polypharmacy is. In addition, the patient may have concomitant diseases that affect the metabolism and blood composition, which can also "add fuel to the fire."

It is also important, as in the case of any other medicine, to be wary of fakes and simply unscrupulous manufacturers. Products offered under the Monastic Tea brand in pharmacies or on Internet sites often have questionable origins and minimal information about composition and use. Such compounds are unlikely to bring much benefit, if not harm the patient at all.

Monastery tea ingredients

Monastic tea has various compositions. Each of them contains many ingredients, but there is no guarantee that this is exactly the recipe that the ancient monks made. Therefore, when deciding to take this drink, you need to pay attention to what is included in the purchased tea, and discuss this with your doctor before you start taking it. The doctor will evaluate whether the components and their combination can have a beneficial effect on the disease.

The composition of a particular collection depends on the manufacturer, as well as the proportions of the added components. Depending on this, the effect of the drink may also vary.

The list of ingredients is probably incomplete, however, it is also clear from it that some ingredients (for example, eucalyptus or calendula) were nowhere for Belarusian monks to take in the darkness of centuries. Eucalyptus trees, if they grew on the territory of Belarus, then in the time of the dinosaurs. And for calendula, one would have to go, for example, to the Arabian Peninsula, whose population would hardly have met Orthodox ministers with open arms. That is, these ingredients are either a later addition or a fantasy of a particular manufacturer.

Preparing and drinking a drink, the effect of tea

Monastery tea is brewed in the same two common ways as any other.

1. You need to take a teaspoon of the composition in a mug with a volume of about 300 milliliters, pour in slightly cooled boiling water and leave for 5-10 minutes. You can add honey or sugar to taste, but in no case lemon - citric acid will very quickly destroy all the beneficial substances contained in tea.
2. Another way: tea leaves are prepared (6-7 tablespoons of tea per 0.5 liter of water), infused for about half an hour, then consumed in a diluted form.

Drink tea should be daily for 30 days, then take a break for a couple of weeks. The first signs of normalization of pressure should be felt after a few days of drinking tea, and a stable effect comes after 20 days of intake. The pressure finally returns to normal, the accompanying headaches disappear.

Although refrigeration is usually acceptable for brewed tea, it is best to prepare a new drink each day. So it will be fresher and bring more nutrients to the body.

The total period of tea consumption required for the treatment of hypertension is individual for each patient. It is best to replace the daily consumption of regular tea and coffee.

Hypertension has three stages. According to the observations of doctors, only the first degree of the disease can be completely cured with monastic tea. For more advanced pressure problems, the drink can be used as maintenance therapy, but cannot be completely relied upon.

What else can monastery tea

In addition to the therapeutic effect in hypertension, monastic tea, according to patients, helps with some other problems:

1. Diabetes. Tea reduces blood sugar levels, in addition, fights excess weight, reducing appetite. It is also recommended for prevention if a person has a hereditary tendency to this disease.
2. Excess weight (one of the risk factors for diabetes) - the monastic collection will reduce appetite, due to which the figure is normalized.
3. Fight against smoking. The drink cleanses the body of toxins and toxins, including those accumulated as a result of smoking. Thanks to this, even a person with great experience is easier to give up a bad habit. In addition, tea eliminates withdrawal symptoms, reduces irritability, and improves the functioning of the respiratory system.
4. Anthelmintic. Tea fights against worms and other harmful parasites, completely destroying them, according to observations, in almost 100% of cases. After the release of the body from the "residents" tea cleanses the digestive system and relieves existing irritation in the gastrointestinal tract.
5. Candidiasis (thrush). The monastery collection stops the growth of Candida fungi that cause this disease. It also improves immunity, soothes inflammation on the mucous membranes caused by candidiasis.
6. Prostatitis. Doctors believe that the causes of this disease are either a violation of blood circulation in the pelvic area, or an infection. This makes urination difficult or painful. Tea has some anesthetic and diuretic effect, facilitating the outflow of urine, relieves inflammation and gives a general tonic effect.
7. Psoriasis is an incurable disease, but the “magic” drink can help here too. It facilitates the general condition of the patient, reduces irritation and flaking of the skin, calms the nerves (stress is one of the main causes of exacerbation of psoriasis).
8. Stomach problems. Due to the positive effect on the digestive system, monastic tea helps to cope with diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain of various origins.

In general, the medical community characterizes monastic tea positively. It has a broad effect both in the prevention and treatment of many diseases and occupies an important place among other traditional medicine.
