A friend told me that moxa on GV20(Bai Hui) is good for treating hypertension. Thanks, Cecilia ______________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?

Several different TCM imbalances can underlie high blood pressure. Sorry, don't know what they are, and I'm hoping somone else can post the information. I do remember that Kidney Yang Deficiency is one of the possible underlying Roots for one type of hypertension. I'm wondering if moxa gets used in these cases since moxa frequently is used in acupuncture to tonify Yang. Does anyone have any information on this? Thanks.

I know it is classic for Kidney yin deficiency by several means, and Liver fire/heat. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 GV 20 is one of the standard 12-20 points that are used to 'tune -up " a patient and for diagnostic purposes. Once you get to know your patient these standard points can be used to check up. It is possible that the little things we do like stubbing our toe or scratching our arm or nose are the things that keep us in shape in terms of our own self monitering systems. GV 20 and/or a nice head massage can aid stress. Stress is usually taken in at the hands or feet and mismanaged elsewhere.
