Very interesting! I don't have high cholesterol but I sure have low blood pressure. Pretty much the only remedy I know is salt, lol. My friends keep telling me they're going to buy me a salt lick like a horse, ha ha.
For those looking this plant up, I did a search and the scientific name is ziziphus mauritiana, if I'm not wrong. It doesn't grow where I live so I'd never heard the name before and had to look it up. :)

Oh! PS - a lot of the mods in Natural Medicine like it when bilingual posts are either written side-by-side, or all in one language then all in the second language, instead of back-and-forth like this, because they find it easier to read to just scroll to whichever language they speak and read it all together. So just thought I'd let you know, so you can get more upvotes and shares in the future!
