Rauwolfia serpentina also known as Indian snakeroot, Devil’s pepper, or Serpentine wood is a medicinal shrub in the milkweed family.
Rauwolfia has been used in traditional medicine mainly for the treatment of high blood pressure, poor circulation, nervous system disorders and mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and anxiety.
High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. High blood pressure may also increase the risk of heart attacks. These problems may be less likely to occur if blood pressure is controlled. Greatly, Rauwolfia serpentina can naturally control your blood pressure, promotes optimal blood circulation, aids cardiovascular health and improves good brain health.
Rauwolfia supplements are generally available in tablets and capsules. Whole and crude forms are also available, but because dosing is more difficult to establish and monitor, the use of these forms are not recommended. Rauwolfia is POSSIBLY SAFE when a standardized extract is used.
Because rauwolfia is sedating, it may be better to take at night.
Side effects can range from mild to serious and include nasal congestion, stomach cramps, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, drowsiness. It’s UNSAFE to use Rauwolfia during pregnancy. The chemicals in Rauwolfia might cause birth defects.
It is also UNSAFE to use Rauwolfia during breastfeeding.
Self-medication is UNSAFE, consult with your healthcare provider before taking Rauwolfia serpentina.
