Hi everyone,

With the amount of content on this platform, there appears to be low interaction. I am wondering if everyone is asleep or not getting notifications.

Please like and even better, comment below to let us know.

How notifications work: When we put a post up, an email is sent to the member. If you are not getting the emails, they may be ending up in SPAM (which was happening to me) or maybe you turned them off?

It looks like there are people on. The system is showing me 786 "views" in the past week, but I don't know what that is measuring or how accurate that it.

Please let me know!

Thank you.

Josh

Perfusion vs. Blood Pressure

Hello,

The benefits in this latter case were quite amazing, i.e., a significant improvement of energy and mobility, as well as of the general spirit. I treated this patient with almost exclusively EA perfusion treatments in the upper (T1-T5) and lower (T10-S2) segments, with weekly sessions over a period of 6-8 weeks.

This being mentioned, I also started wondering if the perfusion treatment may also offer benefits in terms of high blood pressure. Research has shown that acupuncture can reduce both the systolic BP (~ 5–10 mmHg) and the diastolic BP (~ 3–6 mmHg), as a result of (i) a reduction of the sympathetic nervous system, (ii) an increase of the parasympathetic activity, and (iii) the release of neurotransmitters such as endorphins, serotonin, and nitric oxide. An improvement of the vascular function and peripheral circulation is also evoked as a possible ...
