原发性高血压已成为影响人类健康的最主要原因之一,到目前为止并无根治的方法。对艾灸疗法治疗高血压的文献进行综述发现,近年来研究者临床多选用足三里、涌泉、石门、曲池、百会等穴位,采用单穴、穴位配伍等选穴方法,采用温和灸、直接灸、温针灸等方法。艾灸治疗高血压病操作简单、无副作用,艾灸可以使高血压患者异常的血压降低,并可在一定程度上改善高血压患者的临床症状;从艾灸治疗高血压的机理研究来看,艾灸降压效应与改善高血压模型大鼠的血管内皮细胞内分泌功能,抑制肾素、血管紧张素活性,以及血液流变学、内分泌等因素有关。
Essential hypertension has become one of the most important reason to affect the human health.So far there is no complete cure of it.Reviewing on moxibustion to treat essential hypertension,many researchers in recent years have selected single acupoint,such as Zusanli,Yongquan,Shimen,Quchi,Baihui,and etc,using mild moxibustion,direct moxibustion and needle warming moxibustion therapy,or meridians compatibility to treat essential hypertension patients.Results showed that moxibustion therapy is an effective therapy for hypertension with easy operation and less side effects.Moxibustion can not only lower abnormal blood pressure,but also improve the clinical symptoms of patients.The antihypertensive effect of moxibustion may be related to endocrine function of vascular endothelial cells improvement,rennin and angiotensin activity snppression,and the body hemorheology and endocrine system repair.
