What May Contribute to Low Blood Pressure
A Different Framework
The Chinese Medicine Perspective
In Chinese Medicine, low blood pressure often reflects patterns of Qi Deficiency — particularly of the Spleen and Heart. When Qi is insufficient, the body lacks the upward-lifting force needed to maintain healthy circulation to the brain and extremities.
Blood Deficiency and Yang Deficiency may also contribute, producing coldness, fatigue, and poor circulation. Treatment focuses on tonifying Qi, nourishing Blood, warming Yang when appropriate, and supporting the body’s capacity to maintain stable circulation.
