The theory of meridians and acupoints in the Huangdi Neijing plays an important role in the physiology and pathology of the human body as well as the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, among which Lingshu is regarded as the standard by later acupuncture research, and its discussion can also be scattered in Su Wen. By studying relevant contents of the Huangdi Neijing, it is concluded that meridians most closely related to the clinical manifestations of hypertension, such as headache, vertigo, neck discomfort and so on, are respectively bladder meridian of foot-Taiyang, liver meridian of foot-Jueyin, gallbladder meridian of foot-Shaoyang and Du meridian. Acupuncture points Kunlun(BL 60), Feiyang(BL 58), Tianzhu(BL 10), Dazhu(BL 11), Weizhong(BL 40), Renying(ST 9), Changqiang(Du 1) and acupoint selection based on syndrome differentiation have good clinical efficacy in the treatment of hypertension, worthy of in-depth study. Hypertension is an important cause and risk factor of a variety of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and one of the main causes of death of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
