3 Medicinal Herbs Specialized for 'Blood Vessel Cleansing' — Dissolving 'Blood Stasis (Clumped Blood)' and Expelling Grease (Cholesterol) from the Blood

Hello, this is Beatrice.

We often hear that onion peel tea is the "janitor" of our blood vessels. While it is undoubtedly effective, let’s be honest—the taste can be quite bland, and drinking it every day can get boring.

In Eastern medicine, there are powerful herbs specifically designed to clear "blood stasis" (stagnant blood) and flush out grease (cholesterol) from the bloodstream. Today, I want to recommend three herbal teas that not only taste better than onion peel but are also highly effective at detoxifying your blood vessels.

Here are the top 3 herbs for better circulation and heart health.

1. Strengthen Your Blood Vessels! [Mulberry Leaf] (Rutin that Tackles High Blood Pressure)

  • It is rich in 'Rutin', an ingredient as good for blood vessels as the 'Quercetin' found in abundance in onion peels.

    • Benefits: Rutin is excellent for strengthening capillaries and lowering blood pressure. As the old saying goes, "There is nothing to discard from the mulberry tree, from root to leaf," and it is especially famous as a tea for preventing strokes.

    • Taste: It is similar to green tea but has less astringency and a savory flavor, making it the best to drink like water.

    • Recommended for: Those who have high blood pressure or are concerned about diabetes.

    2. Decompose Fat After Eating Meat! [Hawthorn Berry (San-sa)] (The Red Fruit that Melts Fat)

  • It is a red fruit that was said to be consumed as a digestive aid after eating meat in the Chinese Imperial Court.

    • Benefits: In traditional herbal medicine, it is classified as a 'medicinal herb that melts the fat from meat.' It has a powerful ability to directly decompose and excrete the grease (cholesterol, triglycerides) stuck inside the blood vessels.

    • Taste: It has a sweet and sour taste, making it very pleasant to drink as a tea. (It also has a pretty red color.)

    • Recommended for: Those who usually enjoy meat or greasy foods.

3. Rejuvenate Old Blood Vessels! [Goji Berry (Gugija)] (Betaine that Clears the Blood)

It is one of the three great elixirs that Qin Shi Huang sought for eternal youth.

  • Benefits: The core ingredient, 'Betaine', prevents fat from accumulating in the liver and washes away waste deposits on the blood vessel walls. It is considered the best for preventing arteriosclerosis.

  • Taste: It has a sweet and savory flavor. It is perfectly fine to boil and drink it like barley tea.

  • Recommended for: Those with poor liver function or severe fatigue.


    I hope you have a day where your body and mind feel lighter with a warm cup of tea.

  • "It is said that blood vessel health starts with the 'single cup of water' you drink daily, rather than from grand exercises. Starting today, instead of the coffee you drink out of habit, how about a cup of Hawthorn tea or Mulberry leaf tea that washes away the waste inside your body?"
