debatable issue. But the recent study that the acupuncture can
dramatically lower blood pressure. According to this study, when
low level of electrical stimulation was given at specific points
on the front legs of rats lower the elevation in blood pressure.
This study provides a setting stage for large-scale trails on
humans and another option for healthcare practitioner treating
high blood pressure patients. This study proves that acupuncture
can be an excellent complements to other medical treatments,
especially those treating high blood pressure problems.

treatments for lowering the blood pressure. Team of researchers
performed both manual and electro acupuncture. All the
activities in both manual and electro acupuncture were
performed. They used all the methods available and also changed
the variables. Results of both manual and electro acupuncture
showed immediate and prolonged lowering of cardiovascular blood
pressure. However blood pressure remains lower for 10 minutes
longer with electro acupuncture. Results in electro acupuncture
are achieved normally with lower frequency. Result ranges
between 44 and 39 % respectively. Combined stimulation of both
the sets has caused no extra additive effect on the lowering of
blood pressure.
Acupuncture is available with many variable techniques;
therefore this study provides a greater opportunity to
understand the different type of acupuncture techniques.

with hypertension (high blood pressure) and has no effect on the
healthy patient. Goal of this study is to establish a standard
