Hypotension with a systolic pressure of 97 and diastolic pressure of 56 can be improved by taking herbs such as Astragalus (Huangqi) and Codonopsis (Dangshen) orally, under a doctor's guidance. Additionally, it is important to adjust dietary habits by consuming more foods rich in protein, vitamins, and trace elements to supplement the body's nutritional needs. Nutrition should be well-balanced, and spicy or irritating foods should be avoided.
