Abstract :
Economic burden and lifestyle habits have
increased the prevalence of high blood pressure that can
be detrimental. Hypertension is one of the major public
health issues and is common in both genders. The
medicinal plants and their antioxidant, antifungal and
therapeutic properties have gained importance in recent
years to fight lifestyle related health burdens such as
CVDs, high blood pressure etc. Cinnamomum verum (C.
verum) is one of the crude plant that is used for medicinal
and therapeutic benefits worldwide. It is recognized as
cinnamon and have benefits against inflammation,
menstrual activity and bacterial stains. The current study
was planned to analyze the mineral profile and chemical
composition of C.verumand its proficience results towards
blood pressure levels of both male and female belonging
to the areas of Jinnah colony, Gulberg and Model town
Faisalabad. Results showed that C. verum powder holds
5.3±0.12% of moisture content and 2.2±0.15% of ash.
Crude fiber, crude protein, crude fat and nitrogen free
extract (NFE) were found to be 31.02±0.6%, 3.3±0.15%,
3.8±0.2% and 54.38±0.7% respectively. 32 subjects, male
and female adults above 30 years of age who are suffering
from high blood pressure were selected randomly
according to their history and current blood pressure
levels. 16 participants are included in control group (8
males and 8 females) and 16 are in experimental
treatment group (8 males and 8 females). Patients with
hypertension were fed 1.5g cinnamon powder for 20 days
in order to get to know the positive effect of cinnamon
powder towards the amelioration of hypertension. Blood
pressure levels of all subjects were measured before
initiation of efficacy and after every 5 days of
consumption. Diet of subjects was modified with no
restriction of medicine intake. The data was introduced to
statistical analysis and results were found significant for
GTF and GTM (P < 0.005) at the 20th day of trial. Systolic
blood pressure levels were from 131.25±8.34 to
118.75±6.40 mmHg and diastolic blood pressures were
from 100±9.25 to 83.7±15.97 mmHg diastolic blood
pressure in GTF and in GTM systolic blood pressure were
from 127.5±4.62 to 125±5.34 mmHg but the diastolic
pressure levels were measured to be 110±17.7 to
83.75±9.61 mmHg. High blood pressure levels were
declined significantly.
