There is no alternative to the use of drugs that lower the blood pressure (hypotensive medications), if a doctor deems that treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) is needed. The aim of taking such drugs is to reduce the blood pressure of the person to normal levels, or at least nearest the normal levels that the person can tolerate, and to maintain it everyday for the rest of his/her life. This perpetual intake of hypotensive medicines is what hypertensive patients, particularly the young patients, loathe doing.

High Blood Pressure Treatment Using Chinese Herbal Medicine

In both Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, hypertension (high blood pressure) treatment is mainly botanical in nature. Reserpine, a yellowish powder derived from the roots of a plant known as rauwolfia, indigenous to China and India, was among the most popular anti-hypertension (high blood pressure) drugs early in the 20th century that came to be used in the world.

The Chinese already knew a long time ago how to prevent and cure diseases such as hypertension (high blood pressure) based on the symptoms manifested by the person. Herbal treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) has been an indispensible part of Chinese medicine for thousands of years.

How Does Chinese Medicine Control Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)?

According to the practitioners and experts of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the problem of hypertension (high blood pressure) should be dealt with from the root. They believe that the primary goal is to free up the blood vessels in order for blood to flow unhindered. In order to do that, the elasticity of the blood vessels should be enhanced and that these vessels should be prevented from hardening. Another aim is to tonify the liver to make it function optimally and to help purify blood in a much more efficient way.

Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners employ as medicinal materials different types of natural products, including minerals, roots of shrubs, trees, and herbs. In the 20th century, they gradually began to integrate modern technical innovations into their practice. Even when preserving their original way of treating people, these practitioners worked out new measures and created new products to meet the present needs of the general population. A natural cure for high blood pressure, Chinese medicine usually does not generate the negative side effects that Western conventional drugs often cause. Because of this, more and more hypertension (high blood pressure) patients (and other people who are likely to develop this condition later in their lives) are becoming attracted to this safe natural healing alternative. As a natural option, Chinese medicine is an alternative that’s very appealing to a lot of people suffering from hypertension (high blood pressure).

For example, researchers who specialize in medicinals tested with several combinations of materials extracted from certain shrubs, trees, mineral, and herbs. After a several trials, they finally came up with a combination that could not only reduce high blood pressures back to normal levels but also increase blood pressures that are low to their normal levels. The plant used possessed natural chemicals that helped slow down heart rates, increased heart beats, allowed blood vessels to relax, and prevented blood clotting. They came to the conclusion, after a lengthy study, that they were successful in creating a drug that could control the blood pressure of a person and make it go down or up to adjust it to its normal levels. This invention or discovery could potentially help resolve the hypertension (high blood pressure) problem of millions of people all over the world.

For the treatment of high blood pressure, Chinese medicine’s objective is to not only alleviate the symptoms but treat the underlying cause of the high blood pressure as well. Chinese medicine treatment for high blood pressure, when used in combination with effective self management, can be both effective and useful.
