此經典組合平衡了清瀉熱火（曲池）、寧心安神（內關）與滋補肝腎陰虛（三陰交）的作用，以達到長期的血壓穩定。
Hypertension in TCM is primarily associated with **Liver Yang Rising** (肝陽上亢) due to underlying Liver and Kidney Yin deficiency. The chosen prescription integrates points that act directly on vascular resistance (LI11), points that modulate the autonomic nervous system (PC6), and points that address the constitutional root (SP6, ST36).
中醫認為高血壓主要與潛在的肝腎陰虛導致的**肝陽上亢**相關。此配方結合了直接作用於血管阻力的穴位（曲池），調節自主神經系統的穴位（內關），以及調理體質根本的穴位（三陰交、足三里）。
-
**Quchi (LI11):** The He-point of the Large Intestine Meridian. Clinically validated for its immediate **hypotensive effect** by lowering peripheral vascular resistance and clearing internal heat (清熱瀉火).
**曲池（LI11）：** 大腸經合穴。經臨床證實具有即時的**降壓作用**，透過降低周圍血管阻力並清泄內熱而發揮療效。
-
**Neiguan (PC6):** Regulates the autonomic nervous system. Its stimulation helps **reduce sympathetic activity** and stabilize the heart rate, alleviating symptoms like chest tightness, anxiety, and palpitation often seen in hypertension.
**內關（PC6）：** 調節自主神經系統。刺激此穴有助於**降低交感神經活性**，穩定心率，緩解高血壓常見的胸悶、焦慮和心悸等症狀。
-
**Sanyinjiao (SP6):** The intersection of the Spleen, Liver, and Kidney Meridians. It is the core point for **nourishing Liver and Kidney Yin**, which is essential for grounding the rising Liver Yang and achieving long-term pressure control.
**三陰交（SP6）：** 脾、肝、腎三經交會點。是**滋養肝腎陰液**的核心穴位，對潛降上亢的肝陽和達成長期血壓控制至關重要。
-
**Zusanli (ST36):** The general regulatory point. Its use here serves to **fortify the Stomach and Spleen** to ensure Qi and Blood production, supporting the body’s overall ability to maintain health and stability against pathological changes.
**足三里（ST36）：** 全身調節點。在此用於**固護脾胃**以確保氣血生化，支持身體維持穩定並對抗病理變化的整體能力。
-
This combination effectively regulates the **Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS)** and **Endothelin (ET)** levels, promoting the release of Nitric Oxide (NO) to achieve sustained vasodilation and blood pressure reduction.
此組合有效調節**腎素-血管緊張素系統（RAS）**和**內皮素（ET）**水平，促進一氧化氮（NO）釋放，從而實現持久的血管舒張和降壓效果。
The strategy of using LI11 and PC6 to quickly clear the excess (Liver Yang/Heat) while employing SP6 and ST36 to reinforce the deficiency (Yin/Qi) is a balanced therapeutic approach that treats both the symptoms (high pressure) and the root cause (deficiency of Yin and Qi) of hypertension.
利用曲池和內關快速清泄標實（肝陽/熱），同時運用三陰交和足三里補益本虛（陰/氣虛）的策略，是一種平衡的治療方法，能同時治療高血壓的症狀（高血壓）和根本原因（陰氣不足）。
