People who suffer from hypertension, know that permanently high blood pressure has dangerous consequences for the heart and vessels. Doctors therefore recommend a conscientious intake of medication. For Chinese medicine, especially at the beginning of other laws. Instead of immediately suppressing the symptom of hypertension with medication, she recommends focusing on the causes. With Chinese medicines, acupuncture and nutritional change, she has optimal treatment options to minimize the pressure in the vessels. A special role is played by the feet.

The most famous pillar of Chinese medicine is acupuncture. Also in hypertension studies confirm positive effects. „Depending on the patient, acupuncture can be used to select highly stress-relieving and tension-regulating points regimes that achieve success in individual cases“, illustrates Dr. Christian Schmincke, TCM expert and head of the clinic at the Steigerwald. „However, in order to achieve greater regeneration and vibration capability of the blood pressure system, acupuncture alone is not enough.“ The Chinese drug therapy is the basis of the holistic treatment approach. After a thorough Chinese diagnosis, trained therapists create an individualized formula for the patient. Diluted as a decoction with warm water and distributed throughout the day, patients take the Chinese medicine as a so-called decoction. Prescription prescription requires a long history and intensive medical history analysis. TCM experts regularly review prescribed prescriptions and their effects on the patient's body, adapting them to the respective recovery process.

QiGong, nutritional science and body therapies are complementary and complete the holistic approach in high blood pressure patients. Gentle body therapies and QiGong release tension and strengthen the body's clarifying function, improving blood circulation. Even a careful selection of foods prevents hypertension. „We recommend avoiding excessive levels of animal protein, as too much meat and dairy products lead to accumulations of tan and thus slow tissue cleanup“, says Dr. Schmincke. Under Tan, the Chinese understand all unwanted substances that elude the excretion and thus accumulate in the body.

Sometimes even small changes in behavior cause the blood pressure to stabilize. Daily exercise in the wild helps to distance oneself from everyday life. Stress sufferers also do a lot for their blood pressure, if they provide enough balance after exhausting phases. The feet also play a special role. So Dr. Schmincke: „Walking barefoot and using water on the feet soothes high blood pressure crises. Thus, the so-called rising foot bath, in which the legs are in a bucket of warm water, in which they gradually run up hot water, is a wonderful home remedy for hypertension.“ (Pm)
