About one-third of U.S. adults have high blood pressure (hypertension). Over time, high blood pressure can damage the heart, blood vessels, and kidneys, leading to increased risks of heart disease, stroke, and chronic kidney disease.
Some mind and body practices, such as meditation, tai chi, qi gong, and yoga, may have small beneficial effects on blood pressure. However, these practices should not be substituted for conventional treatment for high blood pressure.
If you have high blood pressure, follow the treatment plan prescribed by your health care provider. Following your treatment plan can prevent or delay serious complications. If you’re considering a complementary approach for high blood pressure, discuss it with your health care provider.
