How to treat hypertension in TCM

summary

With the internal environment and external environment, people's blood pressure fluctuates up and down in a certain range, people's blood pressure will gradually increase with age, hypertension is particularly common in the elderly. Patients with hypertension need to strictly control their own blood pressure, so as to avoid long-term high blood pressure and other complications. For hypertension, there is no radical cure, in other words, it is impossible to completely cure hypertension. After a period of time, the blood pressure has dropped, but in a specific environment, people's different mood, the blood pressure may rise again. Now let's learn more about it.

How to treat hypertension in TCM

First: now the general patients with hypertension are taking western medicine to reduce blood pressure. Generally speaking, western medicine can quickly reduce the blood pressure of patients, but the effect on improving the symptoms of patients such as dizziness is not very obvious. Some people say that the side effects of Western medicine are great, which is not necessarily true. At present, there are many antihypertensive Western medicines with very small side effects. The key is to suit the medicine to the case.

Second: it is feasible to treat hypertension with traditional Chinese medicine, but I personally think that traditional Chinese medicine is not the same way as western medicine in treating hypertension. Western medicine can reduce blood pressure more quickly, while traditional Chinese medicine is a more long-term process for reducing blood pressure. It can achieve the goal of reducing blood pressure by regulating the balance of human body.

Third: patients and their families may hear that some drug advertisements now say that traditional Chinese medicine can never relapse in the treatment of hypertension. What does that mean? Blood pressure never rises again? It can be said responsibly that this is not possible, and it lacks scientific basis. Do not believe that patients, whether traditional Chinese medicine, western medicine, can treat hypertension, also need to follow the doctor's advice.

matters needing attention

For patients with hypertension, their living habits are very important for the stability of blood pressure. Regular work and rest, upward mentality and so on are of great help to improve hypertension. People often seek the so-called radical cure from taking medicine. In fact, the radical cure itself lies in their own habits.
