What Does Non-Pharmacological Therapy Mean?

For most people, it is a common knowledge that drug treatment is needed when they are sick. Few people have heard of non-drug therapy. In fact, non-drug therapy is mainly a treatment method adopted under the premise of drug treatment or when the symptoms are relatively mild. It mainly refers to psychological intervention. Below, let's briefly understand what non-drug therapy means.

Non-drug therapy mainly includes psychological intervention for patients and caregivers, which is the preferred treatment method for improving mental behavior. Caregivers should respect patients, speak kindly, and maintain a safe and relatively quiet environment to avoid inducing patients' mental and behavioral symptoms. In addition, it is necessary to analyze the changes in patients' behavior and emotions, identify potential causes or events that may trigger symptoms, and take measures to prevent and avoid these triggers.

a. Reasonable diet:

1. Limit sodium intake: Reduce the use of salt in cooking, and the daily salt intake per person should not exceed 6 grams.

2. Reduce dietary fat, supplement appropriate protein, eat more vegetables and fruits, and consume sufficient potassium, magnesium, and calcium.

3. Drink tea moderately, which can clear heat and detoxify, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, soften blood vessels, and improve cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system function. For example, Apocynum venetum and Cassia seed can prevent and regulate discomfort caused by hypertension.

4. Limit alcohol consumption: Alcohol intake is linearly related to blood pressure levels and hypertension prevalence. Hypertensive patients should quit drinking or strictly limit their alcohol intake.

b. Air vitamin supplementation: Positive and negative ions in the air can be divided into large, medium, and small ions according to their migration rate. Only small ions or small ion clusters can enter organisms. Among them, small negative oxygen ions or small negative oxygen ion clusters have good biological activity. Medical research shows that small particle negative oxygen ions have medical and health effects on humans. Because only small particle negative oxygen ions can easily pass through the blood-brain barrier of the human body and exert their biological effects. With the development of technology, ecological small particle negative ion generation technology has been invented. Negative ion converter technology has effectively overcome the bottlenecks of traditional negative ion generation technology and can generate small particle, high-activity negative ions equivalent to nature.

c. Exercise: Exercise can not only lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure (about 6-7mmHg) but also help reduce weight, enhance physical strength, and reduce insulin resistance. Different modes of exercise such as jogging, fast walking, and Tai Chi can be chosen according to age and physical condition. The frequency of exercise is generally 3-5 times per week, lasting 20-60 minutes each time.
