@wdytys Hi. I have heard of plantains yet have never tried them. Thank you, for the tip. The next time shopping I will definitely purchase a plantain and do it up like you do! My thyroid doctor had me taking two doses per day of Boswellia...YUK. The capsule and pills are too hard to swallow and the powder tastes so bad there is no way. Boswellia tastes absolutely awful. She told me it is a wonderful herb to lower blood sugar, which she claims could lead to high BP. My blood sugar has been borderline the last two labs.

Your tip came just in time! I am looking forward to trying this. Hey! If it tastes good and helps lower BP, who could ask for more!

Thanks, again and Happy New Year!

@thomason Just wanted to tell you, if plantain doesn't work for you, try two bananas daily. That's what I did before I switched to plantains. Plantain is better because it has more potassium and more resistant starch, but it is not always available. Good luck!
