Non-drug therapy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) mainly includes exercise therapy, such as Baduanjin and Taichi. Some TCM techniques adjunct toanti-hyperhension drugs show effectiveness with safety, such as moxibustion, acupuncture, acupoint application, auricular point application, massage, cupping, scraping, herbal tea, emotional therapy, and music therapy. In future, long-term follow-up of trials and standardization of research are needed. In the other way, in-depth research on patients with grade 3 hypertension and secondary hypertension is still needed.
