High Blood pressure in late pregnancy

Updated: Aug 14, 2024



High blood pressure, or gestational hypertension, is a condition that can develop towards the end of pregnancy. This increase in blood pressure can be due to various factors, such as increased blood volume, hormonal changes, stress, or underlying health conditions. When left unchecked, gestational hypertension can lead to more severe complications, including preeclampsia, which poses risks to both mother and baby.


In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), high blood pressure during pregnancy is often viewed as an imbalance of Qi (vital energy) and blood circulation. TCM practitioners may attribute this condition to excess heat, liver Qi stagnation, or deficiency in the Kidney and Spleen systems, which are responsible for maintaining balance and fluid regulation in the body.


To address high blood pressure in late pregnancy, TCM offers a holistic approach that may include acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle recommendations. Acupuncture, for example, helps to regulate the flow of Qi, reduce stress, and balance the body's internal environment, potentially lowering blood pressure. Herbal remedies can support the Kidney and Spleen, enhancing their ability to manage fluid retention and improve circulation. Dietary advice in TCM often involves eating cooling and nourishing foods to reduce excess heat and support the body's overall harmony.


Incorporating TCM into prenatal care can help maintain a balanced and healthy pregnancy, addressing not just the symptoms but the root causes of gestational hypertension, thereby promoting overall well-being for both mother and baby.
