What is a Vasodilator?
Vasodilators are herbs or drugs that increase the diameter of blood vessels which helps decrease vascular resistance and enhance capillary perfusion. This action helps with the increased flow of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and end organs.
They should be taken under the strict supervision of the prescriber. Also, make sure that your regimen doesn’t contain any other vasodilators as this can lower the blood pressure to extreme levels.
