Abstract
Abstract Background: Acupuncture for treating hypertension is clearly not in the mainstream of allopathic medicine. Even literature about acupuncture energetics, neuroanatomical acupuncture, and western medical acupuncture do not mention treatment of hypertension. The aim of this article is to describe a potentially new treatment for refractory hypertension. Case: A 48-year-old woman with severe hypertension refractory to 6 allopathic medications. She also had dry mouth, for which she had sought treatment. The Niemtzow acupuncture protocol for dry mouth was applied to treat that condition. Results: The patient had repeated normal blood pressure readings after using the Niemtzow dry mouth acupuncture protocol to treat her dry mouth. Conclusions: The Niemtzow dry mouth acupuncture protocol needs further research to determine its value as a hypertension treatment modality.
