Can dandelion cure high blood pressure?

We first learned about dandelions in the Chinese textbooks we learned in elementary school. As we grow older and accumulate knowledge, people now know more about dandelions. Not only did I learn that dandelion is a Chinese herbal medicine, but I also learned that dandelion can be eaten as a food and can also play a role in treating diseases. So, can dandelion cure high blood pressure?

No, although it is a medicine, it does not help lower blood pressure.

Pay more attention to this in your daily life, and add more celery, onions, and other foods that help lower blood pressure to your diet.
