High blood pressure, or hypertension, is often called the “silent killer” because it can develop without noticeable symptoms while significantly increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other serious health conditions. At Arco Healthcare Clinic, we believe in addressing the root causes of high blood pressure and offering natural, sustainable solutions to support long-term cardiovascular health.
Common Causes of High Blood Pressure
- Poor Diet – A diet high in processed foods, refined sugars, and unhealthy fats can contribute to hypertension by increasing inflammation and promoting arterial plaque buildup.
- Chronic Stress – Persistent stress triggers the release of cortisol and adrenaline, which can raise blood pressure over time if not managed properly.
- Lack of Physical Activity – A sedentary lifestyle weakens the cardiovascular system and makes it harder for the heart to pump blood efficiently.
- Excess Sodium and Low Potassium Intake – Too much sodium and not enough potassium can lead to fluid retention and increased blood pressure.
- Dehydration – When the body lacks adequate hydration, blood vessels constrict, leading to higher blood pressure levels.
- Toxic Load and Inflammation – Exposure to environmental toxins, heavy metals, and chronic inflammation can put extra stress on the circulatory system.
- Underlying Health Conditions – Diabetes, kidney disease, thyroid imbalances, and sleep apnea can all contribute to hypertension.
Holistic Treatment Approaches
At our clinic, we emphasise a comprehensive approach that focuses on lifestyle, diet, and natural therapies to help lower blood pressure safely and effectively.
1. Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
Acupuncture can help regulate the body’s energy flow, reduce stress, and improve circulation, all of which contribute to balanced blood pressure.
2. Physiotherapy and Movement Therapy
Gentle forms of exercise therapy, to help strengthen the heart and improve blood vessel function, naturally reducing hypertension.
3. Osteopathic Care
Spinal misalignments can impact nervous system function and circulation. Gentle adjustments may help reduce stress and improve blood flow.
7. Sleep Optimisation
Quality sleep is essential for regulating blood pressure. Addressing sleep apnea, improving sleep hygiene, and maintaining a consistent sleep schedule can all contribute to better cardiovascular health. Treatment like Acupuncture and massage therapy are a useful tool to improve sleep.
