Lowering the Blood Pressure with the Help of Acupuncture
Doctors and scientists from the
new method of lowering blood pressure. This method is based on
electroacupuncture, which seems to have a significant effect in lowering blood
pressure. The method has been tested on rats, by inducing low electric
stimulation at the front of their legs, and their blood's pressure after the
treatment was 40 percent lower than before(their blood pressure had been
artificially increased before). This opens new doors for hypertension
treatment, maybe it will even replace the traditional medical treatments with
this ancient method.
These are all the methods that were tested:
Needles were inserted into:
- Pericardium 5-6, and they were rotated every 10 to thirty minutes. While
this procedure was performed, the rats' blood pressure was being raised by
doctors.
- The rats' forelimbs, without any stimulation or twist, for 30 minutes.
Also, the pericardium 5-6 was electrically stimulated with frequencies
ranging from 2 to 100 hertz.
During these tests the changes in blood pressure were continuously
monitored, and the results carefully recorded. The most successful in lowering
blood pressure were those tests which involved manual and electrical
acupuncture, which had serious effects in lowering blood pressure, lasting up to
one hour, and ranging from 33 to 36 percent. The best results were recorded at
the rats which had been stimulated by electroacupuncture, especially at those
treated at the electroacupuncture frequency of 2 hertz.
However, the best results were recorded at the rats stimulated at the heart
(6-7) and stomach (36-37). Their blood pressure was lowered up to 44 percent
for the heart stimulation, and 36 percent for the stomach.
An important observation that doctors made was that this electroacupuncture
treatment can only lower blood pressure for the hypertensive people, it has no
effect for healthy people.
We can only that these treatments involving acupuncture will soon be
available to everyone, because they represent a very good way to lower blood
pressure.
