Blood Pressure

According to TCM theory, hypertension is often caused by an excess of Yang energy, which can create "heat" and lead to a buildup of pressure in the blood vessels. This excess of Yang energy may be due to various factors, such as stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, and other lifestyle factors. TCM treatments for hypertension may include herbal remedies, acupuncture, dietary changes, and lifestyle modifications such as stress reduction techniques, exercise, and adequate rest. The goal of these treatments is to restore balance and harmony to the body's energy, reduce excess heat, and promote healthy circulation. It's important to note that while TCM can be a complementary approach to managing hypertension, it's not a substitute for conventional medical treatment, and people with high blood pressure should consult with a healthcare professional for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
