Coleus forskohlii has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries as a natural remedy for heart disease. Coleus forskohlii contains a substance known as forskolin that appears to be responsible for the herb’s ability to reduce blood pressure. Today, physicians in India use forskolin to treat angina, heart failure and hypertension (high blood pressure). Research shows forskolin has the potential to not only reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, but also to strengthen the heart muscle, thus improving its function and enhancing blood flow throughout the body.
