Essential hypertension is a chronic high blood pressure with no identifiable cause. In the early stage, there are symptoms of dizziness, headache, palpitation (noticeable and irregular heartbeat), insomnia, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), lassitude, polyuria (increased urine production) and epistaxis (bleeding from the nose), etc. In the late stage the organs such as the heart, brain, kidneys and others may be involved. It belongs to the categories of "dizziness" and "headache" in traditional Chinese medicine.

(a) Common symptoms are dizziness, headache, head distension, restlessness, temperamental tendency, insomnia, palpitation, numbness of extremities.
(b)Hypertension is defined as a pressure greater than 140/90mmHg (18.7/12.0kPa ).The elevation of diastolic pressure is of more significance for clinical diagnosis.

3. TCM Effectiveness and Evaluation
 

It is effective to treat hypertension by TCM. Not only the TCM's treatment improves symptoms obviously, but the therapy also lessens side effects. Western medicine & TCM are effective in alleviating weaknesses. However,TCM results in less side effects and also helps in reversing damage to the target organs. It is advisable to practise Qigong every day to consolidate effect of treatment.
