Claude. Yes, this herb can lower the Blood Pressure.
However, I would like to name a few other herbs which are very effective and are widely used to cure High Blood Pressure.

shell ginger...does it help to cure lung cancer?

I do not know why is everyone talking about Cancer on this page, I do not see that this herb cures cancer. The best cure for Lung Cancer is Soursop juice and Fagonia Cretica tea.
You may try these two Ellie. Did you see Lung Cancer page of Herbpathy ? You must. It is worth the read.

Shell Ginger tea can help to cure Cancer. You may try this herb for once and see it for yourself. There is not much evidence to support it. I have also read that it can help to cure cancer. The best thing to do is to try the herb.

How is shell ginger used for AIDS/HIV?
 
Herbpathy
23 Sep 2019
Dear Brandi,
Shell Ginger is used to treat the effects caused by HIV/AIDS on patients.

Take a decoction of Ginger thrice a day. Take it before every meal. Crush ginger and put it in a cup of water. Boil it on low flame for 7-10 minutes. Strain and have this tea before meals.

I have this (shell ginger) growing in a pot on my deck. I would like to make tea with it as I’ve heard it has great health benefits. But how!? Fresh leaves or dried. If dried which leaves and what’s the best way to dry them ?
 
Steve

I use one or two fresh green leaves. Some leaves are large on a healthy plant, so one such leaf is adequate. It is best to take the leaf from one of the plants that already has flowered, since that part of the plant will slowly start to die anyway. Let the other plants in the group get larger if you can.
I cut the center stem out of the leaf and lay both halves on top of each other.
I then roll the leaf from top to bottom so that it looks like a green cigar. Chop across the roll to make cuts in the leaf. I then put the cut strips of leaf into a stainless steel strainer that fits into a cup and pour hot water the same as you make any other sort of tea. It actually smells and tastes pretty good, but that could be just that I'm used to it. I've heard that some people use the dried leaves, but I suspect that fresh might be better.

I forgot to mention that you can use those same strips of shell ginger leaves in the strainer for at least five servings before I notice it getting weak the same way a regular tea bag might do.
