A series of unhealthy lifestyles, such as heavy work pressure, frequent social activities, irregular life and unhealthy diet, make young and middle-aged people the main force of hypertension. However, compared with the elderly, young hypertensive patients are less affected by genetic or other diseases and are easier to prevent and treat.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there are corresponding reaction areas on the surface of human body. Among them, there are many acupoints corresponding to ears and feet. If handled properly, they can become two main pressure reducing valves. Patients with hypertension may wish to try these two antihypertensive methods without taking medicine.
Press the groove behind the ear frequently.
Ears are shaped like a fetus with its head and feet upside down. It is not only an organ for collecting sound information, but also closely related to the viscera and meridians of the human body. Hypertension is mainly caused by hyperactivity of liver yang. By stimulating the liver and gallbladder meridians, the effects of clearing liver, benefiting gallbladder, clearing heat and lowering blood pressure can be achieved.
Traditional Chinese medicine has found that pressing the ear groove often helps to lower blood pressure. Therefore, this ditch is also called "decompression ditch". If you feel high blood pressure at ordinary times, you can press this acupoint. If you want a lasting effect, you can also ask a doctor to take external treatment. That is to say, take a cowherb seed and wrap it in the groove on the back of the auricle with medical tape, and the groove goes down obliquely. Usually, cottonseed is pressed. Sticking to this method will achieve a very obvious antihypertensive effect.
Massage focuses on Yongquan
Feet can be said to be the second heart of our human body. There are many acupoints connected with viscera in the foot. It is suggested that patients with hypertension should massage their feet frequently and control their blood pressure by soaking their feet with Chinese medicine.
To lower blood pressure, it is important to massage Yongquan point (the first third of the line between the head end of the second and third toe suture and the heel at the depression of the forefoot). Of course, massage should also pay attention to finding warm pain points. This is because when the organ is affected by the lesion, the corresponding reflex zone of the foot will be tender. Drinking warm water within 30 minutes after massage is beneficial to blood circulation and detoxification.
In addition, when washing feet every night, you can add some Uncaria and borneol to warm water; You can also use 15g of mulberry leaves, mulberry branches and neem seeds, wrap them in cloth, cook them in a pot, and then soak your feet in boiling water for a long time, which can play a certain role in lowering blood pressure.
