What Is Blood Pressure Supplement?
Blood Pressure Supplement is a traditional Chinese herbal formula designed to support healthy blood pressure already within the normal range, circulation, cardiovascular wellness, blood vessel function, Liver and Kidney balance, and a calm nervous system.*
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), blood pressure imbalance is commonly viewed through the relationship between the Liver, Kidney, Qi, Blood, and internal Wind. One common pattern is Liver Yang Rising, in which Yang rises upward and disturbs the head, eyes, and Shen (spirit).
When Liver Yang becomes excessive or internal Wind affects the upper body, individuals may experience headaches, dizziness, irritability, facial flushing, restless sleep, red or dry eyes, bitter taste, neck tension, or symptoms aggravated by stress, anger, frustration, or overwork.
Blood Pressure Supplement contains herbs traditionally used to calm Liver Yang, extinguish internal Wind, clear excess Heat, promote healthy Blood circulation, nourish the Liver and Kidney, calm the Shen, and maintain cardiovascular balance. It is commonly chosen for traditional support of circulation, stress-related tension, blood pressure concerns, and long-term cardiovascular wellness.*

Suggested Combination for Comprehensive Blood Pressure and Circulation Support
For blood pressure concerns accompanied by weak digestion, fatigue, Kidney deficiency, poor circulation, seasonal sensitivities, or constitutional weakness, Blood Pressure Supplement may be paired with Spleen Support, Kidney Support Yin, Allergy Relief, or Immune Booster according to the individual’s TCM pattern.
In TCM, cardiovascular balance depends on connected systems. The Liver maintains the smooth movement of Qi, the Kidney provides Yin and Essence, the Spleen produces Qi and Blood from food, and defensive Qi supports resilience.
Spleen Support may be considered when circulation concerns occur with poor digestion, bloating, loose stools, sweet cravings, fatigue, heaviness, or weak nutrient transformation. Strengthening Spleen and Stomach Qi supports Qi and Blood production, energy, and circulation.*
Kidney Support Yin may be considered when Liver Yang Rising occurs with dry eyes, dizziness, night sweating, feeling warm at night, dry mouth or throat, restless sleep, or long-term depletion. Nourishing Kidney Yin helps anchor Yang and nourish the Liver.*
Allergy Relief may be considered when seasonal sensitivities, sneezing, runny nose, itchy or watery eyes, sinus discomfort, or excessive mucus accompany the primary pattern. It traditionally supports Lung function, clears Wind, and promotes seasonal balance.*
Immune Booster may be considered when circulation concerns occur with low energy, weak defensive Qi, constitutional weakness, frequent seasonal challenges, or reduced resilience. It supports Lung Qi, defensive Qi, and vitality.*
Together, these formulas provide broader TCM support for the Liver, Kidney, Spleen, Qi, Blood, circulation, defensive Qi, and vitality. The appropriate combination depends on the individual’s TCM pattern.*

Common Signs You May Need Blood Pressure Supplement
This formula is most appropriate for patterns associated with Liver Yang Rising, Liver Heat, internal Wind, impaired circulation, and Liver and Kidney imbalance according to traditional Chinese herbal principles. Individual patterns may vary and can include:
High Blood Pressure or Elevated Blood Pressure Patterns
Individuals may experience elevated blood pressure patterns, circulatory imbalance, or ongoing cardiovascular concerns. Traditional Chinese Medicine commonly associates these patterns with Liver Yang Rising, Liver Heat, internal Wind, or underlying Liver and Kidney deficiency.
Headaches or Pressure in the Head
Recurring headaches, head pressure, heaviness, or tension may occur when Liver Yang rises toward the upper body. Symptoms may become more noticeable during stress, frustration, anger, overwork, or lack of rest.
Dizziness or Lightheadedness
Occasional dizziness, lightheadedness, unsteadiness, or sensations of spinning may be associated with internal Wind and Liver Yang Rising according to Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Irritability, Frustration, or Becoming Easily Angered
Irritability, impatience, frustration, mood changes, or becoming easily aggravated are commonly associated with excess Liver Heat and rising Liver Yang in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Symptoms That Worsen During Stress or Overwork
Head pressure, dizziness, irritability, flushing, and tension may become more noticeable during emotional stress, demanding work schedules, frustration, inadequate sleep, mental exhaustion, or physical overexertion.
Difficulty Relaxing or Persistent Tension
Difficulty unwinding, feeling mentally overstimulated, restlessness, neck and shoulder tension, or feeling constantly tense may indicate Liver Yang Rising or Liver Heat patterns.
Difficulty Falling Asleep or Restless Sleep
Difficulty falling asleep, frequent waking, vivid dreams, restlessness, or poor sleep quality may occur when Liver Yang or Liver Heat disturbs the Shen and disrupts internal balance.
Dry, Red, or Irritated Eyes
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Liver is closely connected to the eyes. Dryness, redness, irritation, tired eyes, occasional blurry vision, or a bitter taste in the mouth may accompany Liver Heat or Liver Yang Rising patterns.
Facial Flushing or Heat Rising Toward the Head
Facial redness, flushing, feeling warm easily, or sensations of Heat rising toward the head and face are traditionally associated with Liver Heat and rising Yang patterns.
Individuals with complex, recurring, or long-standing blood pressure and circulatory patterns may benefit from additional herbal support selected according to their constitution and TCM pattern to promote healthy circulation, cardiovascular wellness, vitality, and long-term internal balance.
Sudden one-sided weakness, facial drooping, difficulty speaking, severe dizziness, chest pain, or an unusually severe headache requires immediate emergency evaluation and should not be treated as a routine supplement-selection sign.
Diet and Lifestyle Tips for Healthy Blood Pressure
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), healthy blood pressure is supported by balanced circulation, emotional well-being, proper nourishment of the Liver and Kidney, and the smooth movement of Qi and Blood throughout the body. Daily habits that support these systems may help maintain long-term cardiovascular wellness, circulatory health, and overall vitality.
Daily Habits to Support Healthy Blood Pressure
For best results while using Blood Pressure Supplement:
- Eat regular, balanced meals at consistent times each day.

Supporting Healthy Blood Pressure from Within
Traditional Chinese Medicine views blood pressure, circulation, emotional balance, sleep, and cardiovascular wellness as closely connected. Consistent nutrition, regular movement, quality sleep, healthy stress management, and balanced daily habits can complement a traditional Chinese herbal wellness routine and support healthy blood pressure, circulation, energy, and long-term vitality.

Ann's Story
If you feel skeptical or unsure about Chinese herbal remedies, I could hardly blame you. I wasn’t a believer either—not until my daughter became very sick and my father, a fourth-generation herbalist, helped guide our family through her recovery with traditional Chinese herbs.
I was born into a family of herbalists. My father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather were all herbalists. I represent the fifth generation of this long family lineage, which dates back to Imperial China.
When I was three or four years old, I began learning herbal songs and how to identify different herbs. As I grew older, my father taught me how to process herbs while I worked in his clinic in Vietnam.
After we immigrated to the United States, my dad asked whether I wanted to pursue a career in Traditional Chinese Medicine as an herbalist or acupuncturist. I told him, “No, just leave me alone, Dad. I will find something I enjoy doing for work.” So he left me alone to find my own way.
I wanted nothing to do with herbal medicine until I gave birth to my second daughter, Catherine, who was born with severe gastric reflux. When Catherine was only 10 days old, I had to take her to the emergency room because she couldn’t keep milk down. She received fluids through an IV in her tiny hand. In addition to vomiting, she was also having diarrhea. Catherine was losing nourishment from both ends, and her little body was becoming smaller and weaker.
At the time, my dad warned me, “She needs to be treated with herbal medicine, or she may have seizures later.” I didn’t fully understand what he was telling me, so I ignored his warning.
My daughter became so ill that she could only drink half an ounce of milk each hour. Before feeding her, I used a syringe to give her Zantac to help reduce the vomiting. As time passed, she needed to be fed more frequently and consequently received Zantac more often. By the time Catherine was eight months old, she needed to be fed and medicated as many as 11 times a day.
I could hardly sleep, eat, shower, or rest. Even at night, I had to drape my daughter over my shoulder so she could sleep. If I put Catherine down, she would vomit. I barely had time to take a five-minute shower once or twice a week. I was exhausted, but what could I do? I had to care for my daughter and do my best to survive each day, hoping she would get better—or at the very least, that her condition would not worsen.
Catherine had to wear a turtleneck, two sweaters, a baby cap, and a scarf whenever we went outside, even during the summer when the temperature was over 100 degrees. If I didn’t cover her, she would develop a runny nose and cough, followed by nonstop vomiting. I constantly worried about her future. How would she ever attend school or go anywhere with air conditioning?
One day, we went to a Vietnamese pho restaurant. After placing Catherine in a high chair, I turned around to adjust my own chair. Suddenly, I heard a woman shout, “Look at her!”
I looked in the direction she was pointing. It was Catherine. Her eyes had rolled upward, her entire body was stiff and shaking, and fluid was coming from her mouth. Someone nearby told me to squeeze lemon into her mouth. Frightened and desperate, I followed that advice without hesitation. Her body eventually relaxed, and we rushed her to the emergency room.
At the time, I believed the lemon had helped her. I now understand that nothing should be placed in a person’s mouth during a seizure because it could cause injury or choking. I share this only as part of what happened that day—not as seizure first-aid advice.
Catherine remained in the hospital for three days while her brain activity was monitored. I was told that prolonged seizures could be dangerous. After that experience, I lived in constant fear because I had no idea when my baby girl might have another seizure.
The seizures began occurring weekly, and the doctor prescribed anti-seizure medication. Catherine wasn’t even one year old, yet she was receiving Zantac as many as 11 times a day, in addition to anti-seizure medication three times a day. Administering the medicine was extremely difficult because whenever I took out the syringe, she would cry and begin vomiting.
I took Catherine to see a specialist at CHOC and asked, “Doctor, have you ever seen an infant with this condition get well?”
The doctor replied, “It depends. Some children grow out of it, but some don’t. If they don’t, they may have to continue taking medication.”
“What do you mean by ‘grow out of it’?” I asked.
The doctor explained that Catherine’s condition might improve naturally as she became older.
My mind was racing. I asked, “All this time, the prescribed medication hasn’t been correcting what is happening in her stomach?”
The doctor explained that the medication was intended to help keep the food down, which was why it had to be given before each feeding.
I then asked, “What if she doesn’t grow out of it?”
I was told that she might need ongoing medication. That conversation stayed in my mind and made me question whether there might be another way to support my daughter.
Feeling that I had reached the end of the path I was following, I finally turned to my dad for help.
My father recommended an individualized herbal prescription for Catherine three times a day. After everything we had been through, giving her herbs three times a day instead of administering something as many as 14 times a day felt like a tremendous relief. Even so, it sounded almost too good to be true, and I remained cautious.
During the first month of following my father’s herbal approach, Catherine began vomiting less frequently. At one point, I let her cry briefly to see whether it would still trigger vomiting. It didn’t, and that was when I first believed she might truly be improving.
After another month, Catherine was able to wear fewer layers without immediately developing a runny nose, coughing, or vomiting. Over the course of approximately three months, her reflux and seizure episodes became less frequent and eventually stopped.
This was Catherine’s personal experience under my father’s individualized guidance. It is not a promise that another person will have the same experience, but for our family, it changed everything. Today, Catherine is grown and living a normal, healthy life.
Because of Catherine’s dramatic recovery, I finally began to believe in the traditional medicine that had surrounded me since childhood. I also asked my dad to work with me because I had a long history of fainting easily, especially during the winter. My own experience with his individualized herbal approach deepened my appreciation for the knowledge my family had preserved for generations.
I began thinking seriously about everything that had happened and wanted to understand more about herbs, the human body, and the traditional principles my father had tried to teach me. I wanted answers, so I decided to study in China, where herbal medicine has been practiced and developed over thousands of years.
I attended Traditional Chinese Medicine schools in China and Hong Kong and gained experience in TCM hospitals, where I learned from highly respected herbal doctors.
While I was there, I realized that I wanted to become an herbalist. However, I also wondered how I could secure a dependable supply of high-quality herbs. My father and I traveled across China and visited numerous farming regions. We met with farmers, studied how the herbs were grown and harvested, and began establishing relationships with growers.
Our formulas are made with carefully selected herbs harvested during the appropriate season, when their traditional qualities are considered strongest. These herbs can be substantially more expensive than lower-quality materials harvested too early or too late.
After returning to the United States, I worked closely with my dad, learned from his many years of experience, and studied the formulas and written knowledge passed down through our family.
Everything I went through with Catherine helped me understand the true importance of health. Without health, it becomes difficult to think about a career, beauty, education, independence, freedom, or anything else we hope to enjoy in life.
I have now worked with many individuals and families who have struggled as my family once struggled. Their trust and heartfelt appreciation inspire me to continue learning, preserve my family’s traditional knowledge, and work even harder to help others support their health and well-being.
