Hypertension is a condition of increased blood pressure on blood vessels. It is considered as one of the most common lifestyle diseases and has affected around 50 million people in the United States. Hypertension, also called high blood pressure, is categorized into two types – essential hypertension and secondary hypertension – on the basis of the underlying causes for its occurrence. The reason for essential hypertension is not easily identifiable and treated, while secondary hypertension is the complication of any other existing chronic disease such as alcohol abuse, kidney failure, and hormonal imbalance. It is a highly risky disease, which essentially needs treatment, since it can lead to arteriosclerosis that results degenerative diseases, stroke, and cardiac arrest.

Now, natural treatment is preferred to reduce hypertension, as people are more aware of the possible side effects of conventional medication. Natural treatment methodology also has a unique advantage to cure the underlying causes, which the conventional medicines usually lack. Natural methods focus to cure the risk factors for hypertension such as cholesterol, hormonal imbalance, diabetes and obesity to restore the equilibrium and perfect functioning of the body.
Natural treatment primarily starts with life style modification since bad habits have contributed much to the cause of the disease. Balanced diet and diet modification is an essential part of natural treatment, which helps to reduce obesity, a major risk factor for hypertension. In addition to other nutrients, potassium, calcium and magnesium have to be additionally included in the diet since they play vital role in blood control. The increased tendency to partake in common salt must be avoided, to maintain the balance of electrolytes. A recommended mineral rich diet must include milk and milk products, fishes, oysters, nuts, green vegetables, and fruits such as bananas, potatoes, and molasses. Supplements of minerals and vitamins are to be used, if a proper diet is not feasible.

Natural treatment requires hypertension patients to implement certain lifestyle modifications. Exercise and relaxation therapies are an inevitable part of natural treatment. The excess calories have to be burnt off through regular exercises and it helps to induce oxygenation of blood. Relaxation therapies and meditation techniques such as yoga, breathing exercises, tai chi, biofeedback, and hypnotherapy help to avoid stress and other related psychiatric problems. Avoid alkaloid rich drinks such as coffee and fatty foods. Smoking has to be essentially quitted and dependency on alcohol has to be avoided.

Natural treatment also suggests certain herbal remedies such as Withania somnifera, Convolvulus pluricaulis, Passiflora, and Ginkgo biloba. Garlic is also recommended as a routine ingredient of diet since it has the power of being a blood thinner. However, be cautious when taking herbal supplements, only using according to the advice of a physician since herbal alkaloids may interfere the balance of the body functions.

Hypertension is a silent killer, which exhibit its symptoms only in advanced conditions. Hence, modify your lifestyle to practice good habits and a balanced diet and you can reduce the risk of hypertension naturally.

Conventional stress management protocols like meditation, relaxation exercises, deep breathing or anti-anxiety medication may help people cope with stress. But they do not address the cause of stress. A pioneering approach to stress management targets a person’s disrupted energy meridian system as the real driver behind heightened stress levels. A simple technique balances the energy and eliminates the body and mind’s stress response.

Gary Craig, the Stanford-trained engineer who developed EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) maintains “according to EFT theory, people who have a heightened stress response also have a disrupted energy meridian system. Conventional coping strategies tend to be ineffective because they fail to balance these vital pathways.”

EFT is a do-it-yourself acupressure technique that anybody can learn. It combines focused thought with gentle fingertip tapping on key acupressure points. It is a portable tool that can be used during stressful situations. Even children can perform EFT for themselves when they are having a tough day at school.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) states that stress in the workplace is costing over 0 billion as a result of absenteeism, accidents, employee turnover and diminished productivity as well as medical, insurance and workers compensation costs. More than 25 percent of employees view their jobs as the number one stressor in their lives.

According to www.webmd.com, stress causes both physical and emotional symptoms. Common physical symptoms like tension headaches, backache, stiff neck, upset stomach, rapid heartbeat and high blood pressure are caused by stress.

Stress also affects people’s mood, their behavior, and ways of thinking. Stressed people may tend to feel irritable and intolerant of minor disturbances, jumpy and worrisome, exhausted and unfocused.

Gary Craig explains, “EFT has chronicled thousands of cases where both the physical and emotional symptoms of stress were eliminated within just a few minutes, or a few sessions. When the energy meridian system is balanced with EFT, people can return to a stressful environment, like the workplace, and not experience the same stress response. EFT has even chronicled cases of people lowering their blood pressure and reducing heart palpitations.”

Peggy Thiel was on leave from work due to a persistent and worsening irregular heartbeat combined with high blood pressure (160/105 when she left work). Having an aversion to taking medication, Peggy researched alternatives on the Internet, found the EFT website and downloaded the free manual which teaches the basics of performing EFT.

First, she spent about 3 minutes doing EFT for her heart palpitations. The palpitations subsided and stayed away all day. Then she took her own blood pressure reading (144/92) before performing one application of EFT. After a few minutes of EFT, her blood pressure was 121/86 (120/80 is considered normal). Thiel writes, “I am a rank beginner, having never even heard of this process until last night, I’ve only done it now a total of 3 times, and it’s stabilized my heart rhythm and lowered my blood pressure over 20 points … I have never seen anything work like this.”

Thiel didn’t know the mechanics behind EFT; she simply followed the procedure and balanced her own energy meridian system. In doing so, she moved her blood pressure out of the danger zone of Stage 1 Hypertension. According to Craig, “not everybody can expect to have the same instant results, but if performed correctly and with persistence, EFT’s clinical results show that people improve their condition in about 80% of cases”.

Craig believes that large corporations and small businesses could lower job-related stress and build staff morale by incorporating EFT into their Employee Assistance Programs. Says Craig, “EFT is like emotional first aid and it should be in every company’s first aid kit.”

Over 225,000 people have downloaded Craig’s free training manual and another 5,000 to 10,000 download it each month. Known as The EFT Manual, it has been translated by volunteer practitioners into nine languages. The EFT website is the sixth most actively visited natural health site in the world.

The EFT Manual gives anyone all the basics so they can apply it right away. It can be freely downloaded at…

The RESPeRATE is a unique non-drug alternative to help us lower our blood pressure without the use of drugs. I personally use the RESPeRATE almost everyday and it has lowered my blood pressure to the point where I no longer need to take any medication to control my hypertension. The RESPeRATE has been a blessing because I was having side effects from my medication and not felling well at all. By using the RESPeRATE’s slow paced breathing methods, I lowered my blood pressure from 150/88 to 120/73 in a little over four weeks. I also use the RESPeRATE before I go to bed and it has really helped me to relax and get a great night’s sleep! I have an expanded version of this video on my website that will step you through a live RESPeRATE session and provide you with all the information you’ll need to know before you make your RESPeRATE purchase. Please visit me at www.LowerMyPressure.com and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

People with high blood pressure may find relief by practicing transcendental meditation, according to a definitive new meta-analysis of 107 published studies on stress reduction programs and high blood pressure, which will be published in the December issue of Current Hypertension Reports.

Transcendental Meditation

http://www.tm.org

The transcendental meditation technique produces a statistically significant reduction in high blood pressure that is not found with other forms of relaxation, meditation, biofeedback or stress management.

The new meta-analysis reviewed randomized, controlled trials of all stress reduction and relaxation methods in participants with high blood pressure that have been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals.

Blood pressure changes for the transcendental meditation technique included average reductions of 5.0 points on systolic blood pressure and 2.8 on diastolic blood pressure, which were statistically significant, according to the review. The other stress reduction programs did not show significant changes in blood pressure.

Blood pressure changes associated with transcendental meditation practice were consistent with other controlled studies showing reductions in cardiovascular risk factors, improved markers of heart disease, and reduced mortality rates among participants in the Transcendental Meditation Program.
