Abstract
Hypertension affects 25% of the adult population worldwide. Biomedical treatment involves various blockers and is associated with side-effects. Acupuncture was one of the earliest methods of treatment for "hard pulse disease" (now called hypertension); it is effective and is associated with no untoward effects. Various studies showing the effectiveness of acupuncture for addressing hypertension are presented, along with an illustrative case. Acupuncture is effective for reducing blood pressure. This modality can be used as a stand-alone therapy or along with antihypertensive medications-in which case the dosages of the medications can be reduced significantly-and this helps to reduce the side-effects of medications.
