Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
Hypertension is known as the "silent killer," and for good reason. Most people do not realize they have hypertension until it is so severe that they need immediate hospitalization and medication. It is important to get a yearly physical evaluation at your primary care physician's office to make sure your body is functioning at its optimum. A common late sign of high blood pressure are headaches, if you suffer from repeat headaches, please contact your medical doctor to make sure nothing more sinister is occurring. Learn about how acupuncture can help by calling 201-431-5066.
Acupuncture for Hypertension: Traditional Oriental Medicine Perspective
In oriental medicine, high blood pressure is typically considered to be caused by heat in the body. There are two types of heat: excess and deficiency. Excess heat occurs when the body has too much heat due to a variety of causes. Deficiency heat occurs when the body does not have enough "yin" or cooling substances to ground the heat, thus the energy floats upwards.
