Hypertension is a disease that everyone is familiar with, and there are even records of hypertension in ancient times. So Chinese medicine, which has been passed down in China for many years and has a long history, must have some unique methods to treat hypertension. Hypertension has always been a concern for the elderly, and taking antihypertensive drugs alone can only relieve it for a period of time. Let's follow the editor to learn about the methods of treating hypertension inherited from ancient my country by Chinese medicine.

Blood pressure pillow therapy

According to the ninth volume of Compendium of Materia Medica by Li Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty, "Gypsum is also called fine-grained stone and cold water stone. It is very cold in nature and is mainly used to treat cold and heat caused by stroke, relieve muscles and sweat, eliminate dry mouth and tongue, headache and other functions. It is also a good medicine for treating plague and relieving fever." According to traditional Chinese medicine theory and folk use, hypertension is a fever disease, and gypsum is very cold. Using a gypsum pillow can overcome heat with cold, naturally regulate the normal temperature of the brain nerves and the human brain, enable the cerebral blood vessels to work normally, and effectively control high blood pressure. Long-term use can gradually lower blood pressure to normal levels.

Head massage

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "the head is the meeting point of all yang", and the twelve meridians and eight extraordinary meridians of the human body all converge in the head, and there are dozens of acupoints on the head. Proper massage and some good daily habits can have unexpected health benefits for patients with hypertension.

1. Combing your hair can promote blood circulation in the head, dredge the meridians, promote the flow of qi and blood, regulate brain nerves, stimulate the secretion of subcutaneous glands, increase blood flow to the hair roots, slow down the premature aging of hair, and help remove dandruff and oiliness.

2. Push the hair: Place the palms of your hands apart and on the hairline above the ears, with the index finger in front and the thumb behind. Push from the hairline above the ears to the top of the head. When the palms of your hands meet on the top of the head, lift the hair up. Repeat this 10 times, using a little force during the operation. Massage from the forehead to the brain with both palms like combing your hair. When you reach the back of the neck, cross your fingers and use the base of your palms to squeeze the back of the neck to lower blood pressure.
