Anti-Hypertensive Properties of Himalayan Raspberries: A Case Series of Five Hypertensive Patients

Main Article Content
Abstract
Himalayan raspberries contain polyphenols with potential cardiovascular benefits, including vasodilation and antioxidant effects. This observational case series followed five hypertensive adults consuming 50–100 g/day of Himalayan raspberries over 3–4 years without major changes to their antihypertensive therapy. All patients experienced sustained improvements in blood pressure, with reductions of 8–12 mmHg systolic and 4–6 mmHg diastolic, and two required medication dose reductions. These findings suggest Himalayan raspberries may serve as a natural adjunct for blood pressure control, though controlled clinical trials are needed to confirm efficacy.
