High Blood Pressure
There are many ways to Holistically reduce blood pressure, including diet, Acupuncture, Chinese herbal formulas, and nutritional supplements. But if blood pressure is high and needs to be reduced quickly these three methods can be effective.
The first is to prick the tops of the ears, with a sterile implement, (such as a needle after the tip is held in a flame), and squeeze a few drops of blood out. The second is called Gua Sha. Apply some oil to either side of the spine. With a ceramic soup spoon, quickly scrape down either side of the spine, until skin is red. The third is to soak feet in hot water.
The TCM theory behind each of these techniques is that heat, or yang, rises. These are ways of bring the energy, or heat, in the body back down.
