Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a long-term medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated. High blood pressure usually does not cause symptoms. Long-term high blood pressure, however, is a major risk factor for stroke, coronary artery disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, peripheral arterial disease, vision loss, chronic kidney disease and dementia.
Hypnotherapy has been shown to reduce mild essential hypertension in short term, middle and long terms. Studies show that hypnosis for high blood pressure can lower both systolic and diastolic pressures. Self-Hypnosis helps in normalising the blood pressure through increased relaxation, managing aggravators and addressing triggers.
