| Research
has shown that younger people are now more afflicted by hypertension.
A recent study showed 35% of teenagers have high blood pressure.
Because heart disease, the number one killer of Americans and elevated
blood pressure, significantly increases one's risk for related heart
conditions, it is easy to understand why the World Health Organization
warns, "control of hypertension is one of the biggest challenges
facing health authorities in the world." Common symptoms of high blood pressure include: recurrent headaches, blurred vision, lack of sleep, and dizziness. Stress, excessive negative thinking, environmental pollution, diet, and exercise are all contributors to high blood pressure. Drugs used to treat high blood pressure must be taken daily and carry with them potentially harmful side effects like fatigue, kidney failure, depression, and dizziness. There is extensive literature demonstrating that acupuncture effectively lowers blood pressure and is recommended as an alternative treatment for some patients. Researchers have found that by inserting acupuncture needles at specific points on the skin, nerves are stimulatded which reach up to the brain and to the cells in the brain that control blood pressure. Dr. John Longhurst, a professor of medicine at the University of California, Irvine says, "There's evidence from our laboratory and many other laboratories to suggest that cells quiet down after acupuncture." When those cells "quiet down," or become less active, blood vessels relax and blood pressure lowers. To support acupuncture treatments, the Kindo Center adjunctive therapies include; herbal therapy, dietary considerations, and other natural means to safely lower blood pressure. . |
