Are you concerned about your blood pressure? High blood pressure can be very concerning, but there are solutions. The following are natural ways to lower your blood pressure.
Hold your pet and give it some attention. Studies have shown that holding and petting your pet will help your blood pressure fall. The unconditional love will help you deal with stress, and the experience of touching a warm, furry or fluffy animal each day naturally slows your heart rate and lowers your blood pressure.
Hire a massage therapist. Getting a massage will slow your heart rate and lower your blood pressure. If that's too pricey, consider getting a backrub from a friend or partner; this works well, too. To make the massage even more effective (for lowering blood pressure), massage in some lavender scented lotion.
In studies, it has been proven that lavender lowers blood pressure. You can use a lavender essential oil diffuser in your office or home. Only use true essential oils; the fake stuff (synthetic) won't be nearly as effective.
Try meditating; just fifteen minutes of daily quiet think time will help you manage your blood pressure. Lock yourself away from everyone and let yourself relax, focusing on your breathing and thinking only restful, positive thoughts.
Be affectionate with a partner or child. Your blood pressure will sink when you spend time cuddling with someone. Try cuddling up while watching a movie or turn down the heat so you'll want to snuggle with your partner while falling asleep.
Keep an eye out for changes you can make in your life situation that may lower your stress. Identify stressors in your life and evaluate possible changes. Try to think outside the box, considering a job change, an education change, hiring out, or exchanging favors with someone to ease your burden.
If you have high blood pressure, it's important to keep an eye on it. Hopefully you'll find ways to lower your blood pressure and keep it at a healthy level.
