Hypertension and Acupuncture
There are so many people in the world in this day and age who have high blood pressure it is like it is considered to be normal. If you don't have high blood pressure you are considered to be abnormal! Unfortunately this is a sad but true fact, we live in a society where everyone is rushing around like rats chasing after the almighty dollar.
This is what causes stress and in turn, makes us have high blood pressure. Of course I am not saying that stress is the only cause of this, there are other factors but just as there are other factors that cause high blood pressure, there are also other alternatives to treating it as well.
Today, we will be covering the topic of Acupuncture as a treatment for High Blood pressure. For those of you who might not know what that is, high blood pressure is when the blood puts too much pressure on your veins, arteries and also the heart. Over a certain prolonged period of time this can damage the insides of your veins.
High blood pressure can also have major effects if left untreated for too long of a time, the patient can develop a hardening of the arteries, this is referred to as arteriosclerosis. For those of you that are not too clear on what the symptoms of high blood pressure are, we will explain a little for you.
Some of the symptoms of high blood pressure are depression, nervousness, flushed face, restlessness, problems with the intestines, nose bleeds, inability to sleep or insomnia, headaches ranging from moderate to very severe, having a hard time to breathe,
sudden bouts of dizziness for no apparent reason.
Other symptoms of high blood pressure that many people overlook because they don't think that they would be linked to this are erratic behavior like being very emotional and having a very, very short temper. This is part of the reason why some people go so long without being diagnosed because they don't think that their symptoms have anything do with anything serious.
The techniques of acupuncture will vary in forms but we will focus today on something called electro-acupuncture. It has become widely used for patients who have high blood pressure and has been getting very good feedback.
This type of acupuncture is used in conjunction with electric stimulation. The research was done the first time by putting acupuncture needles into a subject's arm just above the wrist, then they would proceed to add the stimulation of low grade electricity to the needles.
This in turn would send the electricity from the needles into the subject's body and in turn lowering the blood pressure significantly. This is because the needles will cause the brain cells to wake up so to speak, making them release a sort of neurotransmitter that will make the heart work more effectively.
The researchers have also found that to treat high blood pressure the subject would have the needles inserted in certain places on the leg or forearm. This would (as previously mentioned) get certain opioid chemicals going in the brain. This also helps with the healing of other cardiovascular related conditions like myocardial ischemia as well as hypertension. Wow, you have to love progress!

If you are between 16-18 years of age, one of your parents or guardian must be with you and provide written consent. Today i will not avoid the subject of my amazing marriage for fear of invoking the silent ire of people with a recently failed relationship. If your spouse is not receptive to or isn't taking to you, you will just have to take smaller baby steps and be a bit more patient. Why? Because for once I know I'm on the right track. South Carolina: If you are under 18, you will need a certified copy of your birth certificate and a notarized statement of parental consent.
