Quasi-experimental trial found celery leaves reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure in elderly patients, suggesting potential for herbal therapy.
Key Points
The average systolic blood pressure decreased significantly from 147.6 mmHg to 133.4 mmHg.
Diastolic blood pressure showed a drop from 92.3 mmHg to 85.1 mmHg, indicating effective antihypertensive action.
Participants consumed 250 mg of celery leaf decoction twice daily for 14 days as part of the treatment.
The findings support potential integration of herbal remedies like celery leaves in hypertension management.
