THE USE OF ACUPUNCTURE IN PREGNANCY INDUCED HYPERTENSION by Debra Betts
 Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) is a closely monitored and potentially
 serious condition, since if it is left untreated there is potential for
 eclampsia to develop. Although there is little information in the
 literature on the use of acupuncture to treat PIH, acupuncture can play a
 major role in its treatment. This article offers a comprehensive analysis
 of PIH including the diagnostic and treatment approach of orthodox
 medicine, Chinese medicine pattern differentiation and treatment by
 acupuncture, precautions, advice to patients, feedback from midwives who
 have been successfully treating PIH by acupuncture, and illustrative case
 histories.
