Bhringaraj is a leafy herb, also called false daisy, used for centuries in Ayurvedic tradition, where it is best known as a hair and liver tonic. In people with high blood pressure, research found blood pressure improved and urine output went up, though the evidence is limited. Only about 60 participants were involved, so these results are early and can't say much about how well it works more broadly.
