Acupuncture can be a very effective way to manage hypertension (high blood pressure). Depending on where your blood pressure averages right now, you may want to integrate acupuncture with more conventional prescription medication.

Acupuncture will act over the long run to move your body towards better homeostasis, which often results in blood pressure normalization. Prescription meds will bring your pressure down right now. If you're super high, using the meds as a bridge is the best way to go.
