Send this to whoever buys herbs without knowing what they actually do.
Burdock, yellow dock, sarsaparilla, elderberry and hydrangea root come up constantly in alkaline circles, usually with a promise attached.
So this one does the opposite. Each slide gives you the traditional use, what is actually inside the plant, and then the honest part: what the human evidence does and does not show.
On blood pressure specifically, the answer for every one of these is the same. The clinical evidence is not there. Traditional use is not the same thing as proven treatment.
There is also what to watch for: oxalates in yellow dock, raw elderberry, and the kidney claims that get attached to hydrangea root.
None of this replaces medical care. If you are on blood pressure medication, that is a conversation with your doctor, not a carousel.
Save this before your next herb order.
