Can Traditional chinese acupuncture reduces hypertension & how long is the course of treatment,3 months ?

Question

Some say it can,others say it would not work

Answer 1

Yes, acupuncture can reduce hypertension. But it need to use a very long time to get the effect. I don't think 3 months can help unless do it everyday within 3 months. Then may be you can see the effect but i don't think we can have acupuncture everyday.

Did you know what is Magnet Therapy? I would recommend you to use Magnet Therapy to reduce hypertension. It's more better than acupuncture.

How They Work

Magnetism is created primarily by the spin of electrons within a substance. If the spin of sufficient numbers of electrons is aligned, the substance becomes magnetic. Although iron is readily magnetized because of its many surplus electrons, virtually all substances can be magnetized. Natural magnets – lodestones - were created when iron-containing lava cooled and was magnetized by Earth’s magnetic field.

Most magnets are now made by passing a strong surge of direct-current (DC) electricity through an iron bar. Their strength has been greatly increased by combining iron with other elements.

Therapeutic Uses

Magnets are available in a wide-range of materials, strengths, and shapes: tiny BB-size used by acupuncturists, dime-size, neodymium (a rare-earth metal) of extraordinary power, domino, rectangular block, and flexible magnets of any size and shape. Therapeutic magnets are often cased in ceramic or embedded in an elastic patch or flexible strip. They are incorporated in wrist and back supports, seat and mattress pads, jewelry, and clothing-related items, such as shoe inserts and belts.

Many medical applications and scientific studies have used pulsed electromagnetic fields. In these fields, the electric current generating the magnetic field is turned on and off at a specified frequency.

Because magnetic fields drop off quickly with distance, the closer the magnet is to the skin the better. Although effectiveness may wear off as the body adapts, magnets may be worn as long as desired.

How Magnets Affect the Body

Although not exactly sure how, scientists believe that magnetic fields perturb the body’s own magnetic energy, which, in turn, triggers more conventional biochemical and physiological mechanisms. Magnetic fields:

· Increase blood flow, bringing in more oxygen and nutrients, and flushing away waste products.

· Modulate calcium flow through the body, which is essential to many physiological processes. Magnetic fields can attract calcium ions to heal a broken bone or help move calcium away from painful arthritic joints.

· Alter the acidity or alkalinity of body fluids, which are often out of balance with illness;

· Affect hormone production (including those of the brain’s all-important pineal gland), which initiates a cascade of biological effects.

· Alter enzyme activity and other biochemical processes, such as the production of ATP, a molecule that provides cellular fuel for the entire body.

· Stimulate electromagnetic energy flow through acupuncture meridians.

· Alter cell chromosome alignment.

Healing Applications

People have used magnetic therapy to treat many ailments. In Healing with Magnets, Gary Null provides an extensive list of not only these ailments but also supporting scientific studies. General uses include relief of pain and discomfort, reduction of inflammation, improved circulation, the ability to fight infections, reduction of stress, sleep promotion, correction of various central nervous system disorders, overall energy enhancement, acceleration of healing (especially bone fractures), and athletic performance enhancement.

Because paralysis aggravates many ailments amenable to magnetic therapy, it may be especially relevant for people with spinal cord dysfunction (SCD). Studies have shown that magnetic therapy is effective in controlling pain, enhancing circulation, promoting wound healing, reducing carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.

Answer 2

This really depends on the underlying causes of the hypertension, lifestyle of the patient, diet of the patient, and lifestyle changes the patient is willing to make.

However, Chinese Medicine is a good treatment for hypertension. The evidence supporting it is strong enough for the WHO to support acupuncture in the treatment of hypertension.

Treatment is best when combined with herbal medicine, diet changes, as well as acupuncture.

Results should be seen in 6 treatments or less. (2 treatments a week). This does not mean a cure, but by that time you should either be heading the right direction, or the Doctor of TCM/ Acupunctuist should be trying another treatment tactic by that point.

Good luck :)

Answer 3

I have actually studied this and the reason is that because Western medicine is more to the point. It comes with a more instant and specific result. Eastern medicine is meant to and does, in my belief, treat a whole person to achieve an overall better state of physical and emotional health over time. Now in the East, where acupuncture and the things you mentioned are used almost exclusively, they are used throughout a person's entire life. They live in a different way entirely. And they are proactive with their medicine. Here in the West, we have a symptom or an illness before seeking treatment. Acupuncture will not cure cancer or even arthritis. But it can be effectively used here in conjunction with traditional medicine. In short, unless you use Eastern medicine as Easterners do, you will always have better results with Western medicine, which seems more effective for us due to our point of view, our expectations, our comparison of the two. They are not to be used in the same way and when an American tries an Eastern technique and doesn't get instant results, the technique gets a bad rap.

Answer 4

Yes among other tratments it can reduce it. However the course of treatment depends on many factors among which :
- Age .
- The degree of hypertension.
-Other things like strictly following the treatment.
