Abstract

The pathogenesis of stress-induced hypertension is complex, involving interactions among multiple systems such as the nervous, endocrine, and inflammatory systems. Western medicine has limitations in individualized treatment and may have potential side effects associated with drugs. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a distinct diagnostic and therapeutic perspective, explaining the relationship between hypertension and emotional factors from the theory of "Body-mind unity", proposing the concept of "heart-liver co-treatment". It associates common clinical syndromes with emotional influences and employs non-drug therapies such as acupuncture, bloodletting, and acupoint stimulation to achieve holistic regulation. This study aims to explore the TCM approach to diagnosing and treating stress-related hypertension and its advantages.

Key words

Stress-induced hypertension / Body-mind unity / Emotional disorders / Treatment based on syndrome differentiation
