Chinese Medicine For High Blood Pressure

Before the sphygmomanometer (the device used to measure blood pressure) was invented, traditional Chinese medicine labeled this high blood pressure according to the symptoms which include headaches and light.

Traditional Chinese medicine defines this condition as Qi insufficiency along with a dysfunction of the Yin and Yang of the heart, as well as the kidney and the liver. Practitioners of Chinese Medicine feel that depression and anger make up either excessive Yang or an increase in the aggravation of the liver Yang (fire). Any imbalance of the Yin and Yang of both the liver and of the kidney will make an obstructed Qi. This will cause the blood circulation to soar upward leading to high blood pressure.

The Chinese medicine treatment for high blood pressure will support Yin and lower any excessive Yang. This can be done through both acupuncture and herbal medicine. Acupuncture is an art used to encourage the body to improve natural healing and improve functions through the needle insertion and the application of heat in certain acupuncture points.
