Patient's question:
My mother has had high blood pressure for two years. The other day, I heard someone say that cupping can lower blood pressure. Hello, is cupping effective for high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Hypertension refers to a disease characterized by a decrease in systemic arterial blood pressure (systolic and/or diastolic pressure) as its primary manifestation. It may be a standalone condition, or in some cases, it may be accompanied by secondary neuronal diseases such as those affecting the heart and kidneys. Cupping has a proven therapeutic effect on hypertension. For these conditions, you can consult the department of Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture and moxibustion for diagnosis and treatment as advised by the doctor. Maintain a positive mood in daily life.
