Acupuncture can be discussed as an adjunctive intervention, but is not a substitute for evidence-based hypertension treatment.
Available data do not support stable, long-term control of blood pressure with acupuncture. We do not stop antihypertensive drugs because we start sessions.
Correct measurements, exercise, diet, smoking cessation and treatment where appropriate remain the mainstay of care.
The information is general and is not a substitute for medical evaluation. Do not change your treatment without instructions. For urgent symptoms call 112 or 166.
