Can Yoga or Zen Meditation reduce my blood pressure?
I am currently borderline after stopping my blood pressure medication 2 months ago(it was too low). Now my reading are often in the range of 145/92. It is a nervous and stress related blood pressure. I am very emotional and anxious. I am 47 and vegan.

Well, maby i think you need to google it
It can help. you need to excersise to have a healthy heart bbut be careful not to overdo it. Yoga and meditation can actually be rather relaxing but yoga in particular is quite challenging.
Hope that helps
yes but it requires hard work consintration id see a guru first or if you live near any budhist churchs or stores id see them
yes it can!
First forget that you have pressure: have a good walking (4 Kms) : but do not strain to walk: yoga.. take with a help of a Guru: diet avoid fat: nothing will do to a vegetarian with yoga and walk:
yes if appropriate postures are adopted. There are postures which should not be done while having blood pressure. So yoga must be practiced with the help of an experienced Yoga teacher. 145/92 is a less than marginal case where change in food habits, sleeping habits, exercise habits etc should bring it under control.
Yes it can .
Also have a look at Mukta Vati- an Ayurvedic herb.
Yes, yoga is very effective to relax and regulate your blood pressure..
meditation also is one of the great natural ways to cure yourself mentally, physically and emotionally… by the way, you can learn more from this free e-course, for the yoga poses.. how to do them, their physiological benefits and how they can help you, with the deep breathing exercises as well: http://www.yoga-health-beauty-energy.com
During any exercise the strain on muscles increases, the requirement for blood and oxygen increases but in Yogasanas the requirement goes down as there are no strains and every muscle is relaxed, the requirement for blood and oxygen goes down. This also reduces the strain on mind, the mind also becomes stable and focused. Also because of twists and stretched postures, the functioning of endocrine glands, digestive organs, heart and other organs improves. So do some Yoga to reduce BP.
