Cure Your Blood Pressure

What is Blood Pressure or Hypertension?

High blood pressure (hypertension) is a common condition in which the long-term force of the blood against your artery walls is high enough that it may eventually cause health problems, such as heart disease.

Hypertension significantly increases the risks of heart, brain, kidney, and other diseases.

Yoga to cure BP :

1. How to do Bhastrika?

Sit in comfortable asana like Padmasana, Siddhasana or Sukhasana. The spinal cord must be straight. Bhastrika is similar to the working of ‘bellows’. ‘Breathe in’ and ‘breathe out’ forcefully. Take the breath inside as deep as possible to fill the lungs and then exhale out completely to evacuate the lungs. Breath in and breath out with equal force.

The breath should be filled in the lungs up to the diaphragm, not in the stomach. Do not stop your breath during this process. This is one cycle completed. Repeat this process several times. Do not try to over practice, stop immediately when you feel tired.

Depending upon the capacity and health of the practitioner, it can be done in three variable speeds viz. slow, moderate, and at high.

2. Kapalbharti

Sit in a comfortable asana with normal breathing. Inhale normally and exhale forcefully. Also keep the body easy and relax, don’t feel like stress. As a beginner, the force should be very low as per the body strength. Continue this practice till you can perform comfortably. Whenever feel tired take a break with normal breathing and then resume. Optimize your practice to make “one stroke per second”. The ideal frequency for the kapalbhati is once per second.

In the beginning, the practitioner may feel little pain in the abdomen and back because of the new strain to the body, which disappears after some days.

The abdominal area also makes inward and outward movements and considerable force are applied to the Manipura, Svadhisthana, and Muladhara Chakra. That is very helpful for Kundalini Jagran.

3. Bahya pranayam :

Sit in a comfortable pose of Padmasana or Siddhasana. Breath inside deeply then exhale completely to evacuate lungs as much as possible.

Now, try to touch your chin to the chest (Jalandhar Bandha or Throat lock), lift upwards the muscles of the diaphragm (Uddiyan Bandha or Abdominal lock), and also lift the muscles of the groin area (Mulabandha or Root lock). These three Bandha are all together called ‘Tribandha’ or ‘Mahabandha’.
Patients with Heart, Blood Pressure and Cervical Colitis should not over-stretch.
Patients with Heart, Blood Pressure and Cervical Colitis should not over-stretch.
Staying in this state for at least 10-15 seconds or as per your body stamina, release all Bandha one by one and breath in slowly. Repeat this process 1-3 times per day initially.
Bahya Pranayama should be practiced after Kapalbhati. In this way keeping the breath out, the vital energy generated by Kapalbhati in ‘Mooladhar Chakra’ evolves into higher forms. Practicing with tribandha is extremely beneficial for Kundalini Power awakening as well.
‘Bahya Pranayama’ should be practiced initially 3-5 times per day and increased up to 21 times maximum.
‘Agnisar Kriya’ can be practiced 3-5 rounds per day.

4. Anulom vilom:

For closing nostrils alternatively, you need to use ‘right-hand thumb’ and ‘second & third fingers’ (Madhyama and Anamika). Keep the palm in front of the face and above the nose to avoid interruption inflow of breath from nostrils.

It should be practiced for 3 minutes daily, at least in the beginning or as per body strengths. and then you can increase your yoga time.

5. Accuepressure to reduce BP:

LI 11:-

LI 11 or Large Intestine 11 is another important acupressure point that is frequently used for high blood pressure treatment. This point is also acknowledged as the Crooked Pond, and it is located on the outer side of the elbow, at the point where the elbow crease ends.

LI 4:-

LI 4 or Large Intestine 4 is an extremely useful acupressure point that is extensively used to treat chronic pain and various types of diseases along with treatment for high blood pressure. This point is also termed the Union Valley, and it is situated in the webbing between the forefinger and the thumb. It calms and balances blood flow throughout the body and clears stagnation.

PC 6

PC 6 or Pericardium 6 is yet another important acupressure point for treating high blood pressure. It soothes and helps the heart and circulatory system in their proper functioning.  This point is also known as the Inner Gate, and it is located on the inner forearm, approximately three finger-widths away from the wrist crease.

I personally recommend it because I know these products are very effective with no side effects.
