Abstract :
Recently, high blood pressure has appeared as the most frequent symptom of human sickness. But, to treat this disease is uncertain and produces an adverse reaction due to the medical therapy. Also, patients are burdened by the high price of the doctor´s fee. Therefore, we studied effectively and financially to execute the treatment of the high blood pressure using the Chinese Medicine Theorem that recently arousing a great interest of the people. The main theories in this paper are Blood Vessel Theory and Acupuncture. The composed circuits are low-frequency generating circuit, charging-discharging circuit. The former will substitute a needle that use in the acupuncture therapy method and the latter will charge and discharge the bioelectric action potential of a patient in Ear Acupuncture Point. Also, all circuits will be controlled by a micro-computer circuit.
