Selenecereus Grandiflorus

Night Blooming Cereus

 

Personal Note:聽A useful herb in lowering blood pressure, Cereus is often used in combo with other cardiovascular herbs or alteratives.

Description

Selenecereus grandiflorus is a species of Night Blooming Cereus originating from Mexico and Central America. It blooms only once a year, for a single night. Its principal action is upon the circular muscle fibers of the heart and arterioles making it a useful cardiotonic and hypotensive.

Common Medical Uses

  • Angina pectoris
  • Hypertension
  • Congenital heart failure

How To Consume

  • Tincture

Works well with –  I like Cereus with Hawthorn, Lily of the Valley, Linden, and perhaps some Gingko.
