Your blood pressure is taken. And if your blood pressure is 140\/90 mm Hg or higher, you\u2019re officially a statistic. You\u2019re now one of the approximately 1 in 3 people with high blood pressure, which is a key factor in developing heart disease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, there\u2019s good reason the basic blood pressure reading is western medicine\u2019s diagnostic industry-standard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully, if you do have high blood pressure, you get it under control. However, more than half of all Americans with high blood pressure don\u2019t manage to lower their blood pressure to the safe 120\/80 mm Hg level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This puts millions of people worldwide at risk for developing cardiovascular disease. In addition, high blood pressure (HBP) can also cause kidney disease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are You At Risk for HBP?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because hypertension is a serious and potentially life threatening condition, you should consult your physician before taking Hypertensure. Especially if you take blood-thinning medication (coumadin\/Warfarin). &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve been diagnosed with HBP, don\u2019t think that just because you don\u2019t have any symptoms you\u2019re in the clear. In fact, most of the time, high blood pressure is asymptomatic. But without warning, hypertension can cause a debilitating or fatal stroke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Women should be extra vigilant about controlling blood pressure. That\u2019s because heart disease is the number one killer of women every year in the U.S. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Females with high blood pressure are three times more likely to die from cardiovascular disease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does Traditional Chinese Medicine Say About High Blood Pressure? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>High blood pressure is often referred to as the symptomless, silent killer. Although blood pressure is not visible, what causes HBP, according to traditional Chinese medicine, is at times clearly noticeable.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"x-short-quote-right\">HBP is caused by the concept known in TCM as \u201cfire\u201d<\/div>\n\n\n<p>HBP is caused by the concept known in TCM as \u201cfire\u201d. Specifically, there are four types of fire: liver fire, heart fire, stomach fire, and intestinal fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The concept of \u201cfire\u201d might seem esoteric. Without doubt, though, you see signs of it nearly every day. &nbsp;When someone gets very angry and their face gets red and they lose their temper, this is a clear indication of fire in TCM. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully, when you see \u201csigns of fire\u201d (not the literal kind of fire), it\u2019s on a TV show or movie you\u2019re watching. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you experience symptoms of TCM fire, controlling it is manageable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TCM Formula for Blood Pressure Support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you were to go visit a Chinese medicine doctor, the last thing they would do is place your arm in a blood pressure cuff. There is simply no disease known as hypertension in TCM. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in China, TCM doctors treat symptoms of fire using centuries-old theories and practices, including using herbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When blood pressure is not at optimal levels, there is an imbalance of Yin and Yang. This imbalance can ultimately damage organs. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"x-gradient-bottle-img-wrap x-post-img-bottle-to-left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/Guang-Ci-Tang\/Jiang-Ya-Pian-HypertenSure-Tablets\" class=\"ahw-link\" style=\"display:none;\" target=\"_parent\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/img\/jiangyaps.gif\" alt=\"HypertenSure&#x2122;\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/jiangya\/\" class=\"retail-link\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/img\/jiangyaps.gif\" alt=\"HypertenSure&#x2122;\"><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Our formula, <a class=\"retail-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/jiangya\/\">BPsure<\/a> nourishes Yin energy, calming the Liver and subduing excess Yang (fire). <\/p>\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/mid-banner.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are You Hot Headed? Maybe Liver Wind Is To Blame?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to TCM theory, fire is also caused by an insufficiency of Yin in the Liver and Kidney meridians. When Yin energy can\u2019t balance Yang, Liver Yang spirals out of control, rising upwards and generating what\u2019s called \u201cinternal Liver Wind.\u201d This Liver Wind then in turn produces excess heat. (It\u2019s no coincidence that someone who loses their temper is called a \u2018hot-headed.\u2019)<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"x-gradient-bottle-img-wrap x-post-img-bottle-to-right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/Guang-Ci-Tang\/Tian-Ma-Gou-Teng-Pian-Liver-Windclear-Tablets\" class=\"ahw-link\" style=\"display:none;\" target=\"_parent\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/img\/goutengps.gif\" alt=\"Liver Windclear&#x2122;\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/gouteng\/\" class=\"retail-link\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/img\/goutengps.gif\" alt=\"Liver Windclear&#x2122;\"><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Our formula <a class=\"ahw-link\" style=\"display:none;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/Guang-Ci-Tang\/Tian-Ma-Gou-Teng-Pian-Liver-Windclear-Tablets\" target=\"_parent\">Liver Windclear<\/a><a class=\"retail-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/gouteng\/\">Liver Windclear<\/a> is beneficial for those who have obvious signs of Liver Wind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of what plan of action you decide to take, make sure that if you have high blood pressure, you get it corrected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>High blood pressure, or hypertension isn&#8217;t a disease that&#8217;s recognized by traditional Chinese medicine.
