AT 60 YEARS OLD, I GOT RID OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, DIABETES AND POOR CIRCULATION JUST BY DRINKING THIS POWERFUL DRINK.👇

At 60 years old, I sat in my kitchen—tired, aching, and wrapped in the quiet hum of the fridge. My life had become a series of routines: one pill for blood pressure, another for diabetes, and more for the circulation issues that made my legs feel like they didn’t belong to me.

I didn’t recognize the man in the mirror anymore.

I had followed every doctor’s order, kept every appointment, taken every pill—and yet, I still felt like I was fading.

Then, one afternoon, my neighbor Marta—who’s always been a bit of a folk medicine enthusiast—stopped by with a smile and a folded piece of paper.

“This helped my grandfather when nothing else did,” she said, slipping the note into my hand.
“It’s not a miracle. But sometimes, nature knows what it’s doing.”

🍌 The Strange Little Recipe

I opened the note and blinked:

• Banana peel?

• Pennyroyal leaves?

• Turmeric root?

That didn’t sound like medicine. It sounded like compost.

Still, something in me stirred—a mixture of curiosity and hope.

I gathered the ingredients: the peel of a ripe banana (washed well), four pennyroyal leaves (or a teaspoon of dried), and a small chunk of turmeric. I boiled them in water for 15 minutes, then poured the amber liquid into my old chipped mug.

☕ Day One: Skepticism

I sipped.
It wasn’t terrible. Earthy, slightly bitter, with a hint of mint.

I told no one.

🌿 Day Five: A Glimmer

By the fifth morning, something shifted.

• My ankles weren’t swelling.

• My blood pressure, usually a rollercoaster, had stabilized.

• I felt… lighter.

I still took my medication. But something was different.

🩺 Day Ten: A New Routine

My sugar levels were evening out.
I started walking more—just to enjoy the feeling of movement again.
My doctor noticed too. He furrowed his brow at my bloodwork and said, “Whatever you’re doing, keep it up.”

So I did.

✨ What’s Really in This Magical Brew?

It turns out, Marta’s “tea” had some real science behind it:

• Banana peel is rich in potassium and fiber, which helps regulate blood pressure and supports circulation.

• Pennyroyal has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties—it’s been used for centuries to cleanse the lungs and soothe the body.

• Turmeric is known to reduce inflammation, improve liver function, and help balance blood sugar levels.

Together, they weren’t a cure—but they were support, something my body clearly needed.

🫖 The Recipe That Changed My Life

Ingredients (for 3 cups):

• Peel of 1 ripe banana (organic and well washed)

• 4 fresh pennyroyal leaves (or 1 tsp dried)

• 1 small piece of turmeric root (2 cm) or ½ tsp turmeric powder

• 3 cups filtered water

How to Make It:

1. Cut the banana peel and turmeric (if fresh) into pieces.

2. Add all ingredients to boiling water.

3. Simmer for 15 minutes.

4. Strain and drink warm.

I drank 1 cup every morning on an empty stomach for 10 days. Then I took a 7-day break—and repeated the cycle once more.

🧠 A Word of Caution

Of course, this doesn’t replace medical treatment. I still see my doctor. I still monitor everything. But that cup of tea—simple, earthy, humble—became my turning point.
