How can I help you with Hypertension?

Blood Pressure – The “Silent Killer” You Can Balance

Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood leaving the heart against the walls of the arteries. It is measured in the arm’s arteries, in millimeters of mercury (mmHg), and consists of two readings:

  • Systolic blood pressure – the higher value, measured when the heart’s ventricles contract

  • Diastolic blood pressure – the lower value, measured when the heart relaxes

Normal resting blood pressure is 120/80 mmHg. Readings above 140/90 mmHg are considered high blood pressure (hypertension), and in people over 65, more than 50% are affected. The challenge: there are usually no early symptoms, except in advanced stages (severe headaches, dizziness, vision problems, fatigue). A large international study (2016) found that high blood pressure is the leading cause of stroke—earning it the name “the silent killer.”

​

What Causes High Blood Pressure?

In 95% of cases, the exact cause is unknown but is influenced by a combination of:

  • Poor diet high in salt and/or sugar

  • Overweight or abdominal obesity

  • Lack of physical activity

  • Poor sleep and chronic emotional stress

  • Family history and underlying conditions such as diabetes and high cholesterol.

In the remaining cases, hypertension is secondary—caused by factors such as certain medications (e.g., painkillers), smoking, kidney disease, or hormonal imbalances.

​

Treatment and Prevention – What Really Works?

The most effective approach, recommended by medical organizations, is lifestyle change:

  • Reduce sodium and increase potassium and calcium intake

  • Balanced diet to lower cholesterol and blood lipids

  • Weight loss (if overweight)

  • Aerobic activity for at least 30 minutes a day, 4 times a week

  • Relaxation practices (Qi Gong, Tai Chi, yoga, meditation)

  • Quit smoking

In cases of significantly high readings, medication is added. Medications work in various ways: diuretics, vasodilators, receptor blockers, or by reducing sympathetic nervous system activity. Over time, dosage adjustments or changes may be needed, and side effects require medical monitoring.

 

How I Can Help You Lower Blood Pressure Naturally?

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), high blood pressure reflects an imbalance between Yin and Yang, particularly in the liver and kidneys. My approach combines modern medical knowledge and up-to-date research with thousands of years of traditional Chinese wisdom. Your treatment includes:

  • Chinese and Japanese acupuncture: Following diagnosis, acupuncture has been proven to lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Its mechanism is similar to certain medications, acting on the renin–angiotensin system.

  • Personalized medicinal mushrooms: Formulas based on clinical research targeting blood pressure reduction.

  • Nutrition as a therapeutic tool, not just advice: TCM-based diagnosis and a tailored plan according to body constitution, seasons, and lifestyle. Emphasis on foods that balance liver, kidney, and heart function.

  • Personalized herbal infusions: What I call “healthy water”, containing research-supported plants that lower blood pressure such as hibiscus, olive leaf, corn silk, and hawthorn.

This combination has already helped hundreds of patients because it is easy to follow and not just a temporary fix for blood pressure—it’s a sustainable approach that gives you back control over your health. The program is suitable for those already on medication as well as those seeking an integrated approach to long-term blood pressure balance.

 

What Does the Research Say?

  • Cordyceps – Research has found that Cordyceps militaris extract has the potential to act as an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, which may naturally lower blood pressure.

  • Olive leaf extract – A randomized controlled clinical trial showed that taking olive leaf extract reduced systolic blood pressure by approximately 11.45 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by 4.65 mmHg.

  • Beetroot and Spinach – A review of multiple randomized studies found that consuming nitrate-rich vegetables (incl. beetroot and spinach) reduced SBP by around 7–12 mmHg, even in people with hypertension, obesity, or kidney problems. The effect lasted nearly 24 hours.

I’m here to help you achieve lasting, healthy blood pressure-once and for all.
