Fenugreek: Raises Blood Pressure

My mom's blood pressure has been on the rise. It got me wondering which herbal supplement raises blood pressure, it's Fenugreek.

Because Fenugreek is a diuretic, it makes you pee a lot more which makes your blood potassium deficient.

If you are going to use fenugreek, you really should consider eating bananas, walnuts, black beans, quinoa, to name a few potassium rich foods.

For now, we're holding off giving my mom anymore fenugreek until we talk to her Naturopath Doctor.

My next puzzle to solve is how much potassium type foods do you cook with fenugreek to keep blood pressure normalized.

Soon I'll write a post about Royal Camu. It's a supplement that my mom and I started to take a couple of weeks ago. So far, we both like this super food's affects.
