does punarnava increase blood pressure - #24465
I am really curious about something. A couple of weeks ago, I started taking punarnava because I read about its benefits for kidney health and I thought it could help with some mild swelling I've been experiencing. But then, after a few days, I noticed my blood pressure readings were getting a little higher than usual. I mean, I didn't really think punarnava could be the culprit, but I started to wonder—does punarnava increase blood pressure? I’ve been doing my research but stuff online seems all over the place, with some saying it's totally safe while others mention possible side effects. My doctor didn't seem too concerned, but I'm just feeling a bit anxious about it. I'm also on medication for hypertension, so combining that with a herb like punarnava feels kinda confusing. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I be worried about how punarnava might be interacting with my body? Thanks for any guidance!
