Blood Pressure
High blood pressure or hypertension is one of the most commonly found health issues around the world. It is associated with aging, obesity, smoking, alcoholism, and certain health conditions such as kidney disease and diabetes. Acupuncture stimulates certain brain chemicals and lowers the excitatory reactions of the cardiac system. This decreases the workload for the heart, arteries, and blood vessels. As a result, the rapid demand for oxygen is lowered, which can lead in a decrease in blood pressure levels.
