How it works
Chronic stress activates the sympathetic nervous system, raising cortisol and adrenaline. Meditation reduces sympathetic activation and lowers resting blood pressure.
Not a replacement for medication in moderate-to-severe hypertension. Best used as a complementary approach.
Systematic reviews show meditation reduces systolic BP by 3–5 mmHg. Transcendental Meditation has the strongest evidence base.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
