Frequently press the dorsal groove of the ear

The shape of the ear is like an inverted fetus with its head down and its feet up. It is not only an organ for humans to collect sound information, but also has a close connection with the internal organs and meridians of the human body. Hypertension is mostly caused by hyperactivity of liver yang. By stimulating the acupoints of the liver and gallbladder meridians in the ear, the purpose of clearing the liver and gallbladder, eliminating liver heat and stabilizing blood pressure can be achieved.

Traditional Chinese medicine has found that regularly pressing the dorsal groove of the ear can help lower blood pressure. Therefore, this ditch is also known as the "pressure-reducing ditch". If you feel uncomfortable due to high blood pressure, you can massage this point. If you want long-lasting effects, you can also ask your doctor to use topical treatments. That is, take a seed of the herb Vaccaria, wrap it with medical tape and bury it in the groove on the back of the auricle, running diagonally from the upper inside to the lower side. Press the seeds of the herb frequently. This method has a more obvious blood pressure lowering effect.

Massage focuses on Yongquan

The foot is called the second heart of the human body. There are many acupoints on the feet that are connected to the internal organs. Patients with hypertension often massage their feet. In addition, soaking their feet in Chinese herbal medicine can also achieve the goal of controlling blood pressure.

The focus of massage is on the Yongquan point (the depression in the front part of the foot, one-third of the line connecting the tip of the 2nd and 3rd toe web and the heel). When massaging, you should also focus on finding the tender points.

You need to drink warm water within 30 minutes after massage to facilitate blood circulation and help detoxification.

In addition, when washing your feet every night, you can add some Uncaria rhynchophylla and borneol to warm water; or use 15 grams each of mulberry leaves, mulberry branches, and Cnidium monnieri, wrap them in cloth, put them in a pot and boil them, and then soak your feet in the boiled water.
