One of my patients left a particularly deep impression on me. For years, his blood pressure remained stubbornly high—between 180 and 200. Despite regular doctor visits and long-term medication, his readings fluctuated, causing him constant anxiety. After just two to three months of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment, his blood pressure gradually stabilized and dropped below 140.
When the patient asked how I had managed to lower his blood pressure, I told him that I didn’t simply use antihypertensive drugs to suppress the numbers. Instead, I identified the real reason his blood pressure was elevated—namely, long-term accumulated emotional stress.
