Researchers from La Trobe University in Australia reviewed randomized controlled trials investigating the effects of herbs and spices on blood pressure. The findings of their systematic review and meta-analysis were published in the Journal of Hypertension.
The researchers found evidence suggesting that certain herbs and spices can reduce blood pressure in hypertensive and pre-hypertensive people, but not in normotensive people.
