Links among poor sleep, high blood pressure, gut microbiome discovered: Study shows potential negative effects of disrupted sleep sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/…
"When the sleep disruption stopped, everything did not come back to normal immediately," Maki said. "This research shows a very complex system with the presence of multiple pathological factors."
What better way to assess this complex system than through the lens of a medical approach that has incorporated, considered, and integrated these systems into a working model of practicing medicine for 2,000 years?

Interrupted sleep leads to Qi & Blood Deficiency, especially Heart & Liver Blood, & Spleen Qi Deficiency, which leads to dysregulated blood pressure (i.e. Liver Yang Rising) & palpitations (i.e. Heart Blood Xuy), as well as changes in the gut microbiome (i.e. Spleen Qi Xu).
This has been a known pattern in East Asian Medicine for a long dang time... and guess what? We also have ways to push the body back into healthy functions... back into homeostasis and well-balanced complexity.

"After ALFF analysis, we concluded that LR3 + KI3 activates brain areas related to BP regulation. In addition, after acupuncture at LR3 + KI3, a highly targeted effect was observed in brain areas associated with BP."

"Experts have shown that acupuncture plays a role in lowering BP through effects on the nervous system [including the afferent pathway, central nervous system (CNS), and efferent pathways] and neurotransmitters."

And this is just the beginning as new research in metabolomics unfolds, we will see more research identifying how and why acupuncture is a useful tool to regulate various overlapping/interrelated body systems: nature.com/articles/srep2…
