Acupuncture can and has proven to significantly reduce the immediate pressure on the heart muscles by reducing the activity of the muscles around the heart and subsequently lowering the heart rate and the patient’s blood pressure.

There is a genuine increase in the interest of alternative medicine and or therapies such as acupuncture, rather than increase in medicines, that today’s heart patient did not have readily available just within the last ten or twenty years.

Acupuncture is the process where the acupuncturist will insert strategically placed ultra thin needles in specific areas of the body in relation to the condition that is being treated. There have been significant early signs of success in treating heart disease both in new patients recently diagnosed and those patients with chronic long term heart disease.

In recent studies in the treatment of angina, patients subjected to the acupuncture procedure returned to a more normal life style sooner than test subjects that were medicated for the treatment only.

One ultimate gratification in the treatment of heart disease with acupuncture is that there is no concern and or risk of any side effects that could be presented with the administration of medicines over a long period of time.
