Cholesterol and Cardiovascular Health: What the Pulse Reveals About Circulation
High cholesterol, poor circulation, and cardiovascular concerns are among the most common health issues in modern London and around the world. Yet many patients are surprised to learn that even when their blood tests appear normal, their pulse may already be showing signs of imbalance.
Through advanced pulse diagnosis, George identifies early circulatory weaknesses, inflammation and congestion patterns that precede heart dysfunction, arterial stiffness, and cholesterol buildup (congested or blocked arteries), offering a proactive, natural approach to cardiovascular care.
Understanding Cholesterol Beyond the Numbers
Cholesterol itself is not the enemy. It plays vital roles in hormone production, cell repair, and energy metabolism. Problems arise when circulation, inflammation, or stress cause cholesterol to build up in ways that narrow arteries and reduce blood flow.
Common underlying causes include:
Chronic stress affecting the Heart and Liver systems
Poor digestion and metabolism leading to “dampness” or stagnation
Lack of circulation and oxygenation in tissues
Inflammatory patterns weakening blood vessel integrity
Emotional strain affecting heart rhythm and tension
While blood tests measure cholesterol levels, they do not reveal how well the heart and vessels are functioning energetically — or how efficiently the body circulates and cleanses the blood.
How Pulse Diagnosis Detects Cardiovascular Imbalance
Pulse diagnosis provides real-time information about how blood is moving through the body. By feeling more than 25 pulse qualities, George can detect:
Early tension or resistance in the arteries
Signs of poor blood flow or oxygen delivery
Weakness in the Heart, Lung, or Kidney systems affecting circulation
Hidden inflammation or internal heat
Dietary and stress imbalances contributing to high cholesterol or blood pressure
This allows him to identify cardiovascular strain long before it becomes a measurable disease — helping patients take early action through natural care.
How Acupuncture Supports Heart and Circulatory Health
Acupuncture improves cardiovascular function by relaxing vessel walls, enhancing microcirculation, and regulating the body’s stress response.
Key therapeutic benefits include:
Supporting healthy blood pressure and heart rhythm
Reducing inflammation and oxidative stress
Improving oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues
Calming the nervous system to reduce cardiovascular strain
Enhancing digestion and metabolism for better lipid balance
Modern studies have shown that acupuncture can help regulate heart rate variability, reduce cholesterol levels, and improve endothelial function — confirming what pulse diagnosis reveals energetically.
A 55-year-old London professional came to George after being told his cholesterol was “borderline high.” Though he exercised regularly, he often felt tightness in his chest and fatigue after stress.
Pulse diagnosis revealed stagnation in the Liver and Heart systems and early tension in the vascular pulses, suggesting poor circulation rather than simply excess cholesterol. Treatment focused on improving blood flow, reducing internal heat, and supporting stress regulation.
Within six sessions, his energy improved, the chest tightness eased, and a follow-up test showed improved lipid balance without medication.
Cholesterol numbers alone do not tell the full story of cardiovascular health. Pulse diagnosis and acupuncture reveal the hidden imbalances behind circulation issues, empowering patients to act early and support their heart naturally.
