Moxibustion (artemisia plant at acupuncture point) as alternative therapy in hypertension: a promising approach

Hypertension is a pathological condition in which the blood pressure is higher than under normal physiological conditions, i.e., 140/90 mmHg or higher. Blood pressure is measured as the force exerted by the blood pumped by the heart against the walls of arteries (aorta) and distributed throughout th...
