I too, had a blood pressure reading that was considered borderline high. My doctor wanted to put me on medication, but I asked if I could try acupuncture instead and she agreed. The acupuncturist told me that I came at a good time since I didn't take meds yet, though it would still be beneficial if I had. It just works faster without them. A session lasts typically once a week for an hour for about 12wks. After the firt couple of times I went, I felt noticeably different. I even lost about 10lbs after 3 months without changing anything in my diet or exercise. In fact, when I went back to the Dr. she said my pressure was good and asked what medication did she put me on. I told her I went to an acupuncturist and she asked me for his number and address! So try it. It has many other benefits as well! Make sure that you are using a licensed acupuncturist though. <br />www.mahlah1.blogspot.comWondermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797940283361822646noreply@blogger.com
