Chinese Treatment of Hypertension

Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine are playing a very important role in the management of hypertension.


Based on the theory of traditional Chinese Medicine, the elevated blood pressure and symptoms are regarded as the superficial aspect of a deeper underlying health condition, so the treatment is not just to eliminate or alleviate the symptoms, but rather treat the underlying cause, and to have a prevention -oriented, holistic approach for hypertension patients. We believe that the partnership between the patient and practitioner is extremely important. Self management should always be emphasized along with the treatment, which includes:

Daily Tai-Chi and Qi-Gong exercises

Daily Meditation

Regular aerobic activity (55% to 70 % of maximal heart rate) for 30 minutes and light resistance training (20-30 repetition per set) at least 3-4 times a week.

Eating more fresh fruits, vegetables, and foods high in fiber. Reduce fats and high cholesterol food (animal fats, fatty meats, full fat cheese, butter, egg yolk, oysters, offal).

Avoid excessive salt intake

Stop smoking

Avoid alcohol, coffee, and spicy foods

Stress management

Weight control program
