Lowering The Blood Pressure With The Help Of Acupuncture
By Grojan Fabiola, Thu Dec 8th

Doctors and scientists from the Irvine university of Californiahave recently discovered a new method of lowering bloodpressure. This method is based on electroacupuncture, whichseems to have a significant effect in lowering blood pressure.The method has been tested on rats, by inducing low electricstimulation at the front of their legs, and their blood'spressure after the treatment was 40 percent lower thanbefore(their blood pressure had been artificially increasedbefore). This opens new doors for hypertension treatment, maybeit will even replace the traditional medical treatments withthis ancient method.

These are all the methods that were tested :

Needles were inserted into: -pericardium 5-6, and they wererotated every 10 to thirty minutes. While this procedure wasperformed, the rats' blood pressure was being raised by doctors.-the rats' forelimbs, without any stimulation or twist, for 30minutes.

Also, the pericardium 5-6 was electrically stimulated withfrequencies ranging from 2 to 100 hertz.

During these tests the changes in blood pressure werecontinuously monitored, and the results carefully recorded. Themost successful

in lowering blood pressure were those testswhich involved manual and electrical acupuncture, which hadserious effects in lowering blood pressure, lasting up to onehour, and ranging from 33 to 36 percent. The best results wererecorded at the rats which had been stimulated byelectroacupuncture, especially at those treated at theelectroacupuncture frequency of 2 hertz.

However, the best results were recorded at the rats stimulatedat the heart (6-7) and stomach (36-37). Their blood pressure waslowered up to 44 percent for the heart stimulation, and 36percent for the stomach.

An important observation that doctors made was that thiselectroacupuncture treatment can only lower blood pressure forthe hypertensive people, it has no effect for healthy people.

We can only that these treatments involving acupuncture willsoon be available to everyone, because they represent a verygood way to lower blood pressure
