Title: acupuncture in hypertension

Dear David King
The treatment for systolic and dyastolic hipertension is the same? Are there some points for each case (systolic or dyastolic)?
Best regards
Wilson

Dear Wilson,
I think D.K is too busy recently!

Basically, in traditional Chinese medicine we don't think whethert it is the systolic and dyastolic hypertension, we would do the syndrome differentiation for the case, liver Yang, dampness, deficiency of Yin, ect.

But some points would be in use in majority of cases, LI 4 and 11, sT 36, LR 3.

Personally I would also use KI 3 and SP 6 for majority of cases.

Dear Wilson,
I think recently D.K. is too busy, so he would tell you his opinion later.
