However, Western medicine also has its disadvantages. If the effect of the drug is too strong, it may cause some side effects. For diseases like hypertension, Western medicine is not as effective as traditional Chinese medicine.

The TCM treatment of hypertension is to improve kidney function (hardening of blood vessels), strengthen liver function (thicker blood lipids), perform targeted bone correction to reposition cervical compression points (compression of blood circulation), and regulate heart function (restoration of heart rate) to achieve a cure. Secondary cases are mostly caused by cervical spine compression. As long as the compression point is accurately reset, the blood pressure will gradually stabilize.
