Hypertension treatment must be based on non-pharmacological therapies

  One of the most common questions asked by people who come to the doctors through various channels is: what is the best medicine to “cure” hypertension, or what is the “best medicine” to treat hypertension. I think these two questions are both easy to answer and hard to answer.  The good answer in China is that there is no medicine that can “root out” hypertension, and there is no medicine that is necessarily a “good medicine” for hypertension. The bad answer is to explain the method and importance of basic treatment of hypertension, not a simple sentence or two can be said clearly, so today’s article here, is to respond to such questions, so that we know what treatment is the most important for hypertensive patients, what treatment is the safest for hypertensive patients.  What is the safest treatment for hypertension? I said “food, clothing, housing and transportation” is the most basic and safest. People may not believe me, think not willing to say.
