Some herbs in herbal diet medicine can stimulate the sympathetic nervous system and affect blood pressure. That is why we adjust the types and ratios.

Many people take blood pressure medicine. We need to know the name and dose to match safely.

Miple's prescription
How a Miple prescription works
- Checking medication and numbersWe look at your blood pressure medicine and recent blood pressure. We also ask about any history of heart disease.
- Adjusting stimulating herbsFor stimulating herbs such as ephedra (mahuang), we reduce the ratio or leave them out. Because we prepare it in-house, we can adjust right away.
- Checking blood pressure during useWe check changes in your blood pressure together while you take it. It is fine to tell us the blood pressure you measure at home.
- Keep your existing medicineDo not stop or reduce your blood pressure medicine on your own. Adjustments should be made with your attending doctor.
Diet and lifestyle tips
Try this at home
- Measuring and recording your blood pressure at home helps the consultation.
- Cut back on spicy and salty food. They stimulate both swelling and appetite.
- Cut down how often you drink, and on drinking days, choose mostly meat and vegetables as side dishes.
- If it does not bother you, drink coffee up to 1–2 cups a day, only in the morning. If you feel palpitations, cut back.
- Start with light walking. Avoid sudden intense exercise.

How your care proceeds
Adjusting and finding your stage
We start at the lowest stage and check your blood pressure and palpitations. If anything feels uncomfortable, we lower the stage right away.
Monthly body composition check · stage adjustment
Each month we check changes in your body composition and blood pressure and adjust the stage.
Months 3–6, lowering stages gradually
Over 3–6 months we gradually step the stages down, and blood pressure care continues with your attending doctor.
This describes the care process. The pace and results of weight loss vary from person to person.

Frequently Asked Questions
High blood pressure: your questions
Can I take it together with blood pressure medicine?
We check the medication you take, then prescribe with stimulating herbs reduced or removed. We also check blood pressure changes during use.
Won't herbal medicine raise my blood pressure?
Some herbs can have an effect, so we adjust their proportion or remove them. It may vary from person to person, so we check during use.
Can I reduce my blood pressure medicine?
Adjust blood pressure medicine by talking with your doctor in charge. Miple does not advise reducing it on your own.
What should I do if I get palpitations?
Light palpitations are a natural response as the body starts using body fat, and they usually ease within a few days to 1-2 weeks. Please drink plenty of water. If you have chest pain or shortness of breath, or it worsens even at rest, stop taking the medicine and contact us. Keep taking your blood pressure medicine as usual, and keep to the salt limits you normally follow.
Are coffee and alcohol okay?
If it does not bother you, drink coffee up to 1–2 cups a day, only in the morning. It is best to avoid alcohol where possible.
