The rock-and-hard-place dynamic many hypertensive people face is that the medication they are taking for treating high blood pressure often comes with very unpleasant and sometimes dangerous side effects.

But, not managing hypertension will lead to stroke and heart failure in many cases. So what’s a person to do?

Research has shown that the answer to both dilemmas is not only tried-and-true, but also ancient and much researched.

[adrotate group=”5″]Researchers are not only increasingly starting to recommend that acupuncture be included in the treatment plan for hypertensive people, but that it should absolutely be included without fail.

The reason is that in a new study conducted in Gazi University Medical Faculty, Ankara/Turkey, not only was acupuncture proven to be effective in the reduction of high blood pressure, but it was also extremely effective in eliminating many of the side effects of blood pressure medication.

The well-known side effects that people experience when taking ACE inhibitors, diuretics and beta blockers run the gamut. Common complaints are fatigue, bloating, depression, headache, exhaustion, and joint pain.

The research showed that these symptoms were alleviated through the use of acupuncture. This natural treatment is therefore a boon for people who suffer from very stubborn high blood pressure.
