Guest guest Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Hello everybody, I am new to this list and want to introduce myself. I am 36 years old and live in Germany. I don't know very much about TCM, but I am very interested in in it and have read some basic information. The reason for signing up to your list is, that I have been diagnosed with high blood pressure (around 145/95). My doctor told me to take Beta-blocker medication right away. I have been looking for alternative treatments and consulted a TCM practitioner. He was very optimistic that he could be able to help me. But he said it might be quite expensive, because in Germany the health insurance doesn't cover TCM so I will have to pay him myself. I am very willing to pay for my treatment, but I want to make sure that there are other people who have had some experience with treating high blood pressure with TCM so there will be a fair chance that the treatment can be successful. Any comments or hints would be appreciated. Thank you very much, kalle6871 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 more than likely your high blood pressure is related to something else, the " branch " and " probably not the " root. " a good TCM practictioner can help. Jack --- kalle6871 <calcio1 wrote: > Hello everybody, > I am new to this list and want to introduce myself. > I am 36 years old and live in Germany.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Hi,,, I's like to indicate a very good book on TCM which is " The Web hat has No Weaver " , Ted Kaptchuck, Congdon & Weed Inc. I think it's nice even to people who are new on TCM studies. There's a good description about HBP on page 323/324 Roberta Terapias Orientais www.robertablanco.com.br Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
