Abstract

Low blood pressure (hypotension) is a condition in which blood pressure is lower than 90/60 mmHg or low enough to cause symptoms such as dizziness and fainting. Acupuncture therapy offers an approach to addressing low blood pressure or hypotension without the side effects of pharmaceutical blood-pressure-raising medications. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture treatment for hypotension patients at Bale Terapi Datu (TCM Center NTB) in West Lombok Regency. This single case study involved eight therapy sessions with a 31-year-old female participant who had been experiencing hypotension for the past two weeks. Data collection included observation, interviews, hearing, smell, and touch, following Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnostic standards. Acupuncture points were chosen based on a diagnosis of qi and xue deficiency, with needle manipulation focused on tonification. After eight therapy sessions, the participant experienced significant improvement in blood pressure from 70/80 mmHg to 100/80 mmHg. Additional symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, constipation, insomnia, loss of appetite, and restlessness have significantly decreased, and the participant’s physical condition has improved. Tongue examination revealed increased redness, and the pulse, which was initially weak, became more stable, indicating a smoother flow of liver qi and blood. The acupuncture treatment provided was effective in treating low blood pressure or hypotension caused by qi and blood deficiency by improving qi flow and increasing blood volume and circulation, thereby improving physical condition and reducing the symptoms experienced by the participant.

Abstract

Adiposity is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by excessive fat accumulation and an increased risk of noncommunicable diseases. Its rising prevalence in Indonesia requires effective and safe therapeutic approaches. Acupuncture, as a complementary therapy, is considered to have potential in regulating metabolism and energy balance. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of acupuncture treatment for weight loss in adiposity patients at the Sehat “Tade” Clinic, Cilegon. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study method involving one 48-year-old female participant with a BMI of 37 kg/m². Acupuncture therapy was performed in six sessions over three weeks. Data were obtained through the four Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) examination methods: observation (Wang), listening and smelling (Wen), inquiry (Wen), and palpation (Qie). Effectiveness was assessed based on a comparison of pre- and post-intervention conditions, including weight loss, changes in BMI, clinical complaints, and TCM examination results. After six therapy sessions, there was weight loss and improvement in clinical complaints such as low back pain and headache. TCM examination showed improvement in tongue condition, reduced abdominal tenderness on palpation, and enhanced energy levels and emotional regulation in the patient. The participant also demonstrated positive changes in diet, rest, and physical activity. Acupuncture treatment administered in a structured and individualized manner is effective in promoting weight loss and improving clinical conditions in adiposity patients. This therapy has the potential to serve as a complementary approach in adiposity management and can be further developed through studies with a larger number of participants.
