Abstract: (554 Views)
Objective: Hypertension, characterized by elevated arterial blood pressure, constitutes a significant risk factor for a range of severe health complications, including cardiovascular disease, renal impairment, atherosclerosis, ocular damage, and stroke. This study aims to identify medicinal plants traditionally employed in the western region of Iran for the management of hypertension.
Method: A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify ethnobotanical knowledge pertaining to the use of medicinal plants for hypertension management in western Iran. The search encompassed the following databases: Google Scholar, SID, Magiran, PubMed, and Scopus. Relevant articles were retrieved using the keywords "medicinal plants," "Iran," "blood pressure," "Urmia," "Tabriz," "Kurdistan," "Kermanshah," "Ilam," "Khuzestan," and "ethnobotany."
Results: Medicinal plants including Foeniculum vulgare Mill., Achillea millefolium L., Fumaria officinalis L., Apium graveolens, Urtica dioica L., Crataegus pontica C. Koch., Rheum ribes L., Allium schoenoprasum, Achillea biebersteinii, Achillea millefolium, Prunus cerasifera, Gentian olivieri, Olea europaea L., Rumex pulcher L. and Crataegus monogyna L. are antihypertensive medicinal plants in western Iran.
Conclusion: Emerging evidence suggests that certain medicinal herbs and spices possess antihypertensive properties, demonstrating their potential as adjunctive or alternative therapeutic agents for blood pressure management.
