Traditional Chinese medicine believes that hypertension is caused by yin-yang imbalance, and the lesions are related to the five internal organs, mainly involving the heart, liver and kidney. The internal cause of the disease is yin-yang deficiency and qi-blood imbalance.
The pathogenesis of hypertension can be summarized as "excess in the upper body and deficiency in the lower body":
"Shangshi" refers to hyperactivity of liver yang, stagnation of liver qi, rising of liver fire and liver wind, and ascending of qi and blood;
"Xu Xia" refers to the weakness of kidney yin deficiency in the lower part of the body. After a long time, disharmony between yin and yang will lead to deficiency of both yin and yang, and corresponding symptoms will appear. In general, hypertension is characterized by hyperactivity of liver yang in the early stage, yin deficiency of liver and kidney in the middle stage, and yin and yang deficiency in the later stage.
First of all, teach you a first-aid point for rapid blood pressure reduction-everyone loves you.
Ren Ying point belongs to the stomach meridian of Foot Yangming, which has the function of relieving sore throat and resolving hard mass. Ren Ying's point is located in the neck, 65438 0.5 inches beside the larynx, at the front of sternocleidomastoid muscle, where the common carotid artery beats. There is a carotid sinus here, which is a baroreceptor. Stimulation can cause hypotensive reflex, thus rapidly lowering blood pressure.
Operation method: Put the thumb and finger of the left hand and the right hand together, gently place them on the intersection of people on both sides of the neck with your fingertips, and press them unilaterally with gentle force. Don't press them hard. Press one side first, 15 seconds later, press the other side, and so on, press 15 seconds on each side for 5 minutes.
Ren Ying point belongs to the emergency point of rapid blood pressure reduction and is suitable for emergency blood pressure reduction. Generally, it can lower blood pressure by 10-20 mmHg, but this method of lowering blood pressure does not last long, and can only treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.
I will teach you another medicine that can gently control blood pressure-auricular points, including the tip of the ear and the groove behind the ear. Patients with hypertension can control their blood pressure by this method every day.
When blood pressure rises, whether due to hyperactivity of yang or hyperactivity of yang due to yin deficiency, that is, whether due to excess or deficiency, blood can be pricked at the tip of the ear to remove heat from the head and face, thus lowering blood pressure. This method is safe and rapid, has no side effects and will not lead to excessive blood pressure reduction.
Auricular sulcus, also known as hypotensive sulcus, is located on the back of auricle, and goes obliquely from the upper part of auricle to the lower part of auricle. You can obviously touch a concave sulcus by hand. The posterior auricular sulcus is the hypotensive reaction point on the ear, which is called "the spine of human body". Massage this point can indirectly stimulate the spinal nerve and has a certain conditioning effect on the viscera. Regular massage can not only lower blood pressure, but also produce benign stimulation to human body.
Operation method: Hold the upper part of the ipsilateral ear with your index finger and thumb, aim the thumb at the decompression ditch behind the ear, and massage from inside to outside according to the direction of the decompression ditch, every time 15, 2-3 times a day, with slight heat in the ear as the degree, and the intensity should not be too large. As long as you persist for a long time, you will see obvious antihypertensive effect.
Some people may be worried about taking antihypertensive drugs, fearing that they will drop too much and have side effects. Tell you a magical antihypertensive drug, which has the function of two-way adjustment. In other words, blood pressure can be lowered when blood pressure is high, raised when blood pressure is low, and there will be no obvious effect when blood pressure is stable. There is no need to worry too much. This magical medicine is Neiguan point.
Neiguan point is the collateral point of pericardium meridian of hand jueyin, which controls blood;
Waiguan point is the point of the triple energizer meridian of hand shaoyang, which promotes the movement of qi, and the pulse of heart blood is driven by qi.
Therefore, external customs and internal customs, one qi and one blood, one yang and one yin, one external and one internal, have a two-way benign adjustment effect on blood pressure. Especially for people with hypertension, coronary heart disease, vascular stenosis and high blood lipid, it is more suitable to use the method of rubbing internal and external points.
Operation method: When massaging, you should exert your strength up and down at the same time, massage for 30 seconds on each side, alternately from left to right, and massage for 5- 10 minutes every day.
The elderly suffer from hypertension, which is generally caused by kidney deficiency. Chinese medicine stresses yin and yang. When the kidney is deficient in yin, the yang will be excited, so the elderly often have kidney deficiency hypertension, which is manifested as weakness below, such as weak waist and knees, cold legs and feet, and hyperactivity above, such as dizziness, dreaminess and insomnia. To treat hypertension caused by kidney deficiency in the elderly, there is a most suitable acupoint-Yongquan point.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that kidney belongs to water, and Yongquan is the first point of kidney meridian of foot-shaoyin. The qi of the kidney meridian is like the source water, which comes from the foot and pours out, irrigating all parts of the body and limbs. The heart fire above should warm the kidney yang, so as to form a combination of fire and water. If the water below is insufficient, it will not restrict the heart fire above, leading to excessive heart fire and easy to increase blood pressure. Rubbing Yongquan point can nourish water. Too much water can restrain fire, so there will be no increase in blood pressure.
Operation method: spread out the palm of your hand, the palm protrudes outward, and rub the Laogong point in the palm and Yongquan point in the heart of your foot to make your heart feel warm and your blood pressure will return to normal.
