Abstract：Objective：To observe the effect of bloodletting at the tips of ears and foot bath with Chinese herbs combined with routine treatment and nursing for hypertension of yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity type. Methods： A total of 184 cases of patients with hypertension of yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity type were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group，92 cases in each group. Both groups were given amlodipine besylate tablets to reduce the blood pressure，and routine nursing measures. The control group was given foot bath with Chinese herbs based on Bushen Huoxue Xieding prescription， and the observation group was additionally treated with bloodletting at the tips of ears based on the treatment of the control group. Both groups were treated for one course， four weeks being a course. Before and after treatment， the changes in levels of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure as well as Chinese medicine syndrome scores including dizziness，headache，irascibility，lassitude in loin and knee and vexing heat in the chest，palms and soles were observed. The clinical effect was compared between the two groups. Results：After treatment，the curative effect in the observation group was better than that in the control group(P＜0.05). The levels of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure in the two groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05)，and the two levels in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05). The scores of dizziness，headache， irascibility，lassitude in loin and knee and vexing heat in the chest，palms and soles in the two groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05)，and the five scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05). Conclusion：Based on routine treatment and nursing，the therapy of bloodletting at the tips of ears and foot bath with Chinese herbs has defined curative effect on treating patients with hypertension of yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity type， which can significantly decrease the blood pressure and relieve syndromes such as dizziness and headache.
