The single biggest risk factor for stroke is hypertension or high blood pressure. High blood pressure is the increased pressure on the walls of the the body. According to the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure, the gold standard for blood pressure readings is 115/75 mmHg.
For those with untreated high blood pressure, stroke risk is high. It is estimated that 50 million Americans have high blood pressure. Hypertension is a ticking time bomb…..it damages the blood vessel walls, promotes the buildup of plaque deposits, and increases the
likelihood that a blood vessel will break!
Rauwolfia vomitoria has been used for centuries in India and Africa. In the early 1900s, it was reported that a component of Rauwolfia possessed antihypertensive properties. This compound was reserpine. The antihypertensive effects of reserpine are a result of its ability to deplete catecholamines from the peripheral sympathetic nerve endings. It is the profuse amounts of the neurotransmitter nor-epinephrine that overstimulates the blood vessels to constrict. Rauwolfia vomitoria has a higher reserpine concentration than Rauwolfia serpentina. Rauwolfia v. exerts its effects slowly but the effects persist for weeks. It should be given over 6 months to a 1 year time period. Two capsules are taken daily followed by a gradual decrease in dose when there is a reduction in blood pressure. Two weeks or more are needed to see the full effects.
