Low blood pressure belongs to the category of “dizziness” and “deficiency labor” in Chinese medicine, and the main points for treatment are the Foot Sanli point, Hundred Clubs point, Qihai point, Heart Yu, Spleen Yu and Kidney Yu.
1. Foot Sanli point is located on the lateral edge of the calf, three inches below the calf’s nose point, and is used for generating qi and blood, strengthening the spleen and stomach.
2. The Qihai point is located in the lower abdomen, just below the Shenque point. The Qihai point is the sea of vital energy in the human body and can be used to benefit qi and elevate blood pressure.
3. The Hundred Meetings point is on the top of the head and can be used to elevate Yang Qi.
4. Kidney Yu is on the lower back, located on the lower side of the spinous process of the second lumbar vertebra, 1.5 inches away from the spine.
5. Spleen Yu is on the back, located below the spinous process of the eleventh thoracic vertebra, in the same lateral line as Kidney Yu.
6. Heart Yu is on the back, located below the spinous process of the fifth thoracic vertebra, on the same lateral line as Kidney Yu. The three dorsal Yu points, Kidney Yu, Spleen Yu and Heart Yu, are taken to treat yin disease and yang, and are used to benefit qi and nourish blood.
After experiencing low blood pressure and other discomforts, one should go to a regular medical institution in time to avoid delay. The treatment should be carried out by professionals and should not be self-administered.
