As an important part of the internal environment of human, intestinal flora participates in and regulates the immune inflammatory response and metabolic process of the body. It is closely related to the occurrence and development of hypertension, and has become the focus of research on hypertension. The thesis summarizes the relationship between intestinal flora and hypertension, then clarifies their effects and possible mechanisms on hypertension in terms of inflammation and immune response, brain-intestine-bone marrow axis and metabolites, focusing on the new auxiliary antihypertensive pathways that dietary intervention affects intestinal flora to improve blood pressure from salt, probiotics and polyphenols. It is hoped that more in-depth research will come out on improving hypertension through dietary intervention and Chinese herbal medicine prevention and treatment with intestinal flora as the target.
