4 types of hypertension curable in the modern

From the perspective of traditional Chinese therapies, hypertension is only a symptom. And there are many causes behind it, such as blood stasis, phlegm-damp resistance, and liver-yang hyperactivity causes by kidney yin deficiency.

Conditioning the constitution according to the cause, high blood pressure will naturally be good.

It’s not just depends on professional and skill level of a traditional Chinese therapies practitioner, but also the patients’ attitude of changing bad diet and life style in their minds.

Let’s find out what kind of people get caught by high blood pressure. 

Causes of high blood pressure

When you were told or found out that your blood pressure was high, didn’t you find out why the blood pressure was high?

1. Hypertension causes by hyperactivity of  liver yang is the most common type of syndrome

Such people are prone to tantrums, blushing, and dizziness, also experience tinnitus, poor sleep, bad memory, bad breath, and a very bitter and dry mouth.

Because the blood heat rushing to the brain, hot feeling upper body and cold feeling lower body is an usual symptom.

it is called floating liver yang due to kidney yang deficiency. Because kidney yang is not strong enough to keep all yang energy balance in the body.

So liver yang can’t be on enough in the day and cant be off at night. Just like the switch is broken.

Therefore, there is not enough energy in the day time and also cold feeling for the lower limbs.

In the night time, there is too much heat causing hot flush over the head, then bring blood go up the head cause blood pressure go up.

To solve this issue, it needs enough kidney Yang energy to control the switch.

When the Yang energy movement is normal, the blood pressure also will be normal. It is called strengthen kidney yang to subdue liver yang to regulate blood pressure.

Solution of therapies

Acupuncture and herbal tea are usually both implement for those symptoms to subdue hyperactive liver yang. If people scare of acupuncture needle, herbs only is also helpful for daily maintenance.

2. Hypertension causes by yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity

Yin deficiency is the deficiency of essence, blood or body fluids. Yin deficiency leads to hyperactivity of yang qi, and hyperactivity of yang can also deplete yin fluid.

People with yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity get angry easily.

They usually like to eat cold things such as cold drink, ice cream. Prefer raw vegetables salad, intake too much fruits, etc, all of them are cold for the stomach.

However, the above things only cool down the heat for a while but they cannot quench the thirst.

As a result, those food and drink causes dampness and greasy for spleen and stomach then low down their functions. It leads deficiency and dampness are mixed together in the body, then causing dizziness and headache.

Solution of therapies

Mainly nourish yin by herbs then acupuncture help to strengthen yin.

3. Hypertension causes by phlegm dampness resistance

Phlegm-dampness is very similar to Yin deficiency and Yang hyperactivity.

It is caused by eating a lot of cold drinks, raw veggies and fruits, resulting in lower yang qi, then dampness couldn’t drain out on time and stay too long time in the body then turned to phlegm day after day.

Solution of therapies

Moxibustion is the best therapy for these symptoms to improve yang qi to help dissolving phlegm. Meanwhile intaking herbs will speed up the improvement.

4. Hypertension causes by blood stasis

People with blood stasis constitution tend to have a greasy diet such as a lot of meat and greasy cream. And less exercising or no exercises.

The symptoms of this kind of high blood pressure are relatively red faces, the ends of the fingers are swollen, even the entire palm is very red, and some have petechiae which belong to the poor peripheral blood circulation function.

Solution of therapies

Either Moxibustion, Acupuncture and herbs promote and improve blood circulation.

Final words

In the modern, more and more diseases names emerged according to different type of symptoms. We have plenty of techniques but we are lack of correct ideas.

The body of human being body is a system as the universe. We do not understand the rules of universe and nature, we will not know how is the physical body operating and how to maintenance.

The meaning of your life

People are lazy to think, to self-reflect, to change but listen up and believe a short cut to solve problems by one magic pill easily.

They believe that no need to change the existing bad diet, bad lifestyle or wrong exercise methods. Because they believe one pill can solve all problems once and for all.

The final result was that it started with high blood pressure, followed by diabetes, low back pain, frequent urination, stroke, heart disease, sexual dysfunction, kidney disease, depression, anxiety, autism,etc. There are more than 5 or 6 diseases in one body.

Pill started from one type to more than 4 or 5 different pills. Then side-effects happened.

At this moment, do you doubt the meaning of your life? You come to this world just for taking those pills?

You are the only right doctor for yourself

Other practitioners or doctors are only assistants for your own health. They analysis information from your body then make a treatment plan, you are the only one to implement.

That means most key parts of the treatment plan are done by you because that is your body.

You are the master of your own body, listen and feel your own body then make a correct decision when it showed signals for a help.

You are the main leader rather than follower.

There is no miracle pills to heal disease. The only miracle is your own immune system. It needs your care and maintenance in a correct way.

✨ What Our Clients Say

  • I would highly recommend booking a consultation with Shirley. I met with Shirley in September and on that day she was able to assess my pulse with precision and identify where improvements could be made to support balancing my body. During my initial consultation, Shirley designed a three month treatment plan for me. At each appointment Shirley thoroughly assessed my progress as we worked in partnership to bring my body into balance. Shirley excels at Moxibustion and Tui Na, two therapies that I experienced during my treatment plan and I also followed all of the “homework” that she assigned me. I am very happy with the positive results that I experienced and again I would highly recommended booking a consultation with Shirley.

    The amazing Shirley Brown goes the extra mile to help you to heal. Her initial assessment and history taking is incredibly thorough. Not only does she assess your medical and surgical history but also goes into indepth assessment of your usual diet .eating .sleeping patterns and your exercise routines . Shirley then can treat and heal you so much more profoundly . My first treatment with Shirley was with Moxinustion . Shirley used this to heal imbalances and to restore my energy system and then could prescribe what was needed to make me heal. I went for my first appointment feeling that I could not be healed or would have to wait months if not years to see a specialist. After seeing Shirley I left feeling lighter stronger and with definitely less pain and actual optimism and knew that I had been really cared for . I have been going to see Shirley for special teas she makes depending on what organ in my body needs the most attention . Shirley is a truly gifted healer and her knowledge of Chinese medicine is profound . Shirley truly excels in her profession.

  • Shirley has helped me a great deal in improving my health. Being a Chinese from Hong Kong, I always trust TCM. Although I knew about moxa since I was a kid, I had never tried moxibustion before, until I met Shirley. I had encountered a medical issue in the past few years that none of my doctors and specialists could explain (or in their words "never heard of"). I had also tried cupping, Chinese massage and acupuncture. However, only after I started to have moxibustion and Shirley's five elements tea and herbal teas, I have experienced a huge improvement. As a matter of fact, many of the herbal teas that Shirley prescribes are actually very traditional recipes from the ancient Chinese medical records since thousands of years ago, which are commonly accessible online or on hard copies. However, to feel the pulse, check the body condition and then apply the right recipe for the treatment is utmost crucial and Shirley is proved to be able to do so. And I was told today that the official name of the clinic of "One More Cup of Tea" is "SLB Traditional Chinese Therapies" and there are a lot of information under that page. I am going to leave the exact same review under that name so nobody should miss it. Thank you Shirley.

    这是一种神奇的疗术,为我消除了身心的伤痛;一次偶然的机会,在纳耐莫认识了五行养生堂的梁女士,刚开始的一个疗程,是以抱着试试看的态度进行了以艾灸为主的理疗,使我消除了长期腰疼的苦痛;在我坚持做完第二个疗程后,两腋下出现了很多就像杂质的体液,同时全身变得有力,更大的是心情不断好了起来;我做完第三个疗程后,全身无比的轻松,让我真正感触到了身体机能的正常是多么开心的事情;本来我想连续做上几个疗程,但是,因为工作出差原因不得不暂停;我为遇到一种神奇的中国传统疗术而欣慰,我更为遇到梁女士的传统疗法而开心;希望中国传统疗法驱除民众的苦痛!愿此神奇的中国传统疗术康复更多的世间广众!
