High Blood Pressure Treatment by Dr. Marc Bystock

About one-third of all adults in the United States have high blood pressure, according to the latest reports from the Centers for Disease Control. It is about 75 million people who are mostly going without proper diagnosis or treatment.

Blood pressure is simply the force exerted by blood against and through arteries. It's like the water that flows down a river can interfere with the surrounding tissue, causing wear and tear from the constant pounding on the endothelium tissue. It causes an inflammatory response in the arteries, as well as oxidative stress and immune dysregulation. Any of these factors can cause high blood pressure.

Lower High blood pressure can cure with a variety of pharmaceuticals in traditional medicine. Diuretics, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I), angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs), calcium channel blockers (CCBs), and vasodilators are some of the medications available.

How Acupuncture Treatments Can Reduce Blood Pressure

Acupuncture has been shown in clinical research and observation to be an effective non-pharmacological treatment for high blood pressure. Its action mechanism is linked to the Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, endothelial function, oxidative stress, and autonomic nervous system balancing.
