Can acupuncture help with Hypertension?

Yes, acupuncture can indeed be a beneficial treatment for hypertension. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a condition that many people around the world struggle with. It is a significant risk factor for heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and other serious health problems. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), including acupuncture, has been used for centuries to treat a variety of ailments, including hypertension.

Acupuncture works by stimulating certain points on the body with thin needles. This stimulation helps to balance the body's energy or 'Qi', which, according to TCM theory, is crucial for maintaining health. When it comes to hypertension, acupuncture can help regulate blood pressure levels by relaxing and dilating the blood vessels, which allows blood to flow more freely.

Several studies have shown that acupuncture can significantly reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Some studies also suggest that the effects of acupuncture on blood pressure may be long-lasting, providing relief for months after treatment.
