Strictly speaking, high blood pressure is a phenomenon in TCM. You feel dizzy, even some head do not faint, to measure blood pressure, Western medicine will tell you this is high blood pressure.

Western medicine divides the blood pressure high into the primary and secondary sex two kinds. The so-called primary is no other disease, that is, high blood pressure, secondary hypertension is you due to other diseases, such as kidney disease or other diseases caused by elevated blood pressure.

Whether it is primary or secondary, why does it produce high blood pressure? Western medicine now concludes that. Essential hypertension is said to be a genetic factor, possibly an individual factor. Western doctors think that the current means still can not find out what is the cause of high blood pressure, they believe that high blood pressure will cause the human heart, kidney function damage, so the symptomatic treatment, the method of expanding blood vessels to reduce blood pressure, reduce the burden of heart, lungs, kidneys. This is the way Western medicine treats hypertension. Its role is very simple, because the high blood pressure on the pressure of your blood vessels, with the method of expansion of blood vessels, as long as the drug to the expansion of blood vessels, the pressure will be reduced, the blood pressure has been lowered, you feel comfortable. It is precisely because of the single nature of treatment, the decision of Western medicine to treat hypertension is very high efficiency, a lot of antihypertensive drugs to eat in the works.

What does TCM think about it? TCM has different views on hypertension. In traditional Chinese medicine does not have the name of hypertension, hypertension in TCM can be summed up in so many aspects, is the clinical manifestations of dizziness, phlegm and silt knot, dizziness, brain swelling, numbness in the limbs, spleen and stomach weak. All of these can show the symptoms of high blood pressure we are talking about. So what is the first thing that TCM can see in treating hypertension? Clinical manifestations of dizziness, flustered, hand hemp, and even convulsions of these symptoms, TCM will analyze what you are causing. If the liver is hyperactivity, you have to use the method of fertility yin latent yang, is to let your yin and yang balance up, let go up the Yang Qi can descend, so as to achieve the purpose of treatment of hypertension. If the spleen and stomach is weak, this time liver hyperactivity is a phenomenon, and the spleen and stomach weakness is the main contradiction, it is necessary to use the method of invigorating Qi and spleen. If you eat very much, blood lipid is particularly thick, low pressure is particularly high, belongs to the knot of phlegm and silt, Chinese medicine will have to use phlegm to remove the Siltation method.

That is to say, in Western medicine is also diagnosed as high blood pressure, in TCM here will be treated by people. Chinese medicine will be based on people's different onset, different state, look, smell, ask, cut four combination of diagnosis, to be adjusted. If it is the liver hyperactivity caused by high blood pressure, eat some fertility yin latent yang medicine can come down, some people say Chinese medicine buck slow, but actually eat medicine can come down, a bit is not slower than Western medicine. If it is caused by phlegm and silt, it means that the blood in your veins has become sticky, into the Yellow River or Huaihe river water, do not increase the pressure of the blood vessels are not able to pass, at this time only let the Yellow river water into water, blood pressure can be restored, the elasticity of blood vessels can enter the normal state. You know, frozen three feet cold day, from water to Yellow River water is a long process, you this process of governance also need some time. So the general Chinese medicine for acute or symptomatic type of hypertension, with fertility yin latent Yang method can be lowered quickly, but for that kind of low pressure is very high, spread the tongue is purple, tongue tie like that earthworm kind of phlegm and silt knot type of high blood pressure, will have to be false to time. Faster and faster, the refrigerator inside the frozen porcelain solid, you dare to take boiling water hot? A hot word inside the frozen meat must be finished, so only let it slowly slow down.

High blood pressure in Chinese medicine to see is just a phenomenon, I have seen a bleeding patients, blood pressure is always more than 100, low pressure on more than 100, and how can not, with antihypertensive drugs also fall down. As a result of her massive haemorrhage, the spleen and stomach weak, blood vessels, blood, heart function is weak, you want to have weak heart function, blood vessels in the blood, but also to maintain life, blood vessels have to increase the pressure. At this time with a point of the blood medicine, the bleeding to go down the blood pressure. I'm afraid this problem is not simply a matter of using antihypertensive drugs.

Because TCM is a permanent cure, so for different types of hypertension, TCM treatment is not only for high blood pressure, but for your whole body state to go, the whole body and the state of the viscera adjusted well, blood pressure will be normal.
