Relaxation methods offer temporary relief for high blood pressure

  • Researchers from Exeter and Bristol examined 54 studies on relaxation techniques and blood pressure.
  • Interest in relaxation techniques grew because adherence to drug treatments for high blood pressure is poor.
  • The analysis showed relaxation techniques, including meditation and breathing, can reduce blood pressure modestly.
  • One analysis showed breathing control reduced systolic blood pressure by 6.65 mm Hg.
  • While relaxation shows promise, more rigorous studies must assess the long-term effects on blood pressure.
