Mulberry leaves can increase liver glycogen content, increase blood insulin levels, improve glucose tolerance, and have a significant blood sugar lowering effect. Mulberry leaves can also increase myocardial contractility and cardiac output, dilate coronary arteries, improve myocardial blood circulation, reduce vascular permeability, reduce capillary fragility, and lower blood pressure.

You can massage it frequently by rubbing it up, down, left and right with your hands. The second is the Yongquan point and the Zusanli point. These two points have the effect of nourishing the kidney yin and the spleen and stomach, and are helpful in lowering blood pressure.

4. Doing it for 5 minutes every day can help stabilize blood pressure.

Then use the four fingertips of both hands to apply from the Yintang point along the eyebrow arch to the temples on both sides, repeat several times, and gradually move up to the hairline. Use gentle techniques and apply slight pressure on the Yintang point until a local warmth sensation is generated. In addition, there is a simple method, which is to massage the blood pressure-lowering groove on the back of both ears from top to bottom 60 times a day. Be careful not to use too heavy a technique.
