I don't think any one will argue with you about the benefits of Yoga or Meditation when it comes to High Blood Pressure. Observational studies have shown that Blood Pressure can be controlled by Yoga or Meditation. I had written before how BP can be reduced by ISHA KRIYA. Today I decided to see the effect on BP by a short routine of Vipassana listening to SN GOENKA's voice. The results speak for themselves. I am a medical doctor and many of the medications currently used may not give such a good reduction.
The readings were taken 18 minutes apart, the meditation was 15 minutes long and the results are immediate. when you take medications the effect is not this immediate.
A good reduction in BP , 13 mm Hg of Systolic BP and 5 mg Hg of Diastolic BP.. just 15 minutes
of doing Meditation.
Whether or not you have Increased BP , I recommend that you meditate, it has multiple benefits. Reduction in BP is just one of them.
