Hypertension in TCM is usually categorized under dizziness and headache. The pathomechanism typically involves Liver-Kidney yin vacuity with Liver yang rising, or phlegm-dampness with blood stasis.
Key differentiation: Liver yang rising shows headache with flushing and irritability; yin vacuity yang repletion shows tinnitus with lumbar weakness; phlegm-damp shows heavy head; blood stasis shows stabbing headache.
