This is a long-term disease and requires continuous monitoring. A traditional Chinese herbal, “Lemongrass”, might be a good choice for the mainstay of hypertension.

The searched keywords and phrases are “lemongrass”, “formulation”, “traditional Chinese medicine”, “hydrogel”, “hypertension”, “lemongrass + tea formulation”, “lemongrass + hydrogel”, “Lemongrass + Hypertension”, “Lemongrass + traditional Chinese medicine” etc. This minireview discusses the background of hypertension, lemongrass, research progress, mechanism, lemongrass tea formulations, lemongrass with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formulations, and the lemongrass hydrogel application in the treatment of hypertension.
