Nursing Experience in Treating a Case of Hypertension with Liver-Yang Hyperactivity Syndrome Using Three-Step Auricular Point Therapy
This article summarizes the nursing experience of applying three-step auricular point therapy to treat a patient with hypertension characterized by Liver-Yang hyperactivity syndrome. Following routine care, syndrome differentiation-based traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) nursing principles guided the implementation of three-step auricular point therapy. This intervention was combined with emotional regulation, lifestyle guidance, and health education. Consequently, the patient’s blood pressure stabilized within the normal range, symptoms of headache and dizziness resolved, and quality of life improved significantly.
