This study aimed to evaluate the effects of daily rosemary infusion consumption on blood pressure and lipid profile in patients with mild hypertension, stratified by triglyceride status. This 6-week open-label interventional study enrolled 47 patients with mild hypertension (systolic BP 140-159 mmHg and/or diastolic BP 90-99 mmHg). Participants were stratified into two groups: normal triglycerides, TG \<1.7 mmol/L, n=22 and high triglycerides, TG ≥1.7 mmol/L, n=25. Blood pressure was assessed using 24-hour ambulatory monitoring (Holter) at baseline and day 45. Comprehensive biochemical analysis included lipid profile, hepatic and renal function markers, and inflammatory parameters.
