Allium sativum, Honey, Hypertension, Blood Pressure, Traditional MedicineAbstract
Hypertension is widely recognized as a "silent killer" that necessitates long-term management. Currently, the use of traditional medicine has emerged as a complementary alternative to pharmacological therapies. This study aims to theoretically examine the effectiveness of a mixture of garlic, honey, and warm water in reducing blood pressure. Garlic contains allicin, which functions as a vasodilator, while honey possesses antioxidant properties that protect blood vessel integrity. The results of the study indicate that regular consumption of this combination can lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure through the relaxation mechanism of vascular smooth muscle
