How to Control Hypertension With Self Hypnosis

Anyone seeking help to control hypertension can achieve success through self-hypnosis. The subconscious mind is the controller for automatic responses that can aggravate high blood pressure. Physical problems like obesity can have great impact on how the body controls blood flow.

Blood Pressure Basics

We all need blood pressure. It is the driving force that keeps the body functioning properly through circulation. The circulatory system moves blood to the vital organs, providing nutrients and oxygen to the cells. This ensures that the cells work well and that the body is healthy.

The process in the circulatory system involves moving blood from the heart through arteries. The arteries take the blood into progressively smaller vessels, arterioles and capillaries. Nutrients and oxygen are delivered to organs through capillaries. Veins take the blood back to the heart and the cycle begins again.

Cause of Hypertension

Hypertension-or high blood pressure-begins when the vessels that carry the blood contract. The pressure increases, making it difficult for the heart to pump the blood and the vessels may suffer significant damage. The circulatory system is unable to feed the organs causing health problems.

Here is where the possible cause of high blood pressure is complicated. Roughly 95% of cases have unknown causes. Many people have the condition without knowing it. It is impossible to control hypertension if you are not aware that you have it.

Yearly Physical

In order to ensure that you find possible problems with hypertension, it is important to see your physician. There may be a significant health problem causing the increased pressure in the vessels including a defect in the kidneys. These conditions are in roughly five percent of high blood pressure cases but it is important to rule this out at you yearly physical exam.

Using Hypnosis to Control Hypertension

You may already know that blood pressure can increase when you are under significant stress and anxiety. This can be controlled by using your subconscious mind to create a new way for your body to process these feelings. Self-hypnosis provides the relaxation and focus you need to control hypertension.

High blood pressure is an automatic response in the body but this doesn't mean that it is not controllable. Your subconscious mind has great influence over your emotions and your physical responses to emotional components in your life. The body reacts to emotions on a physical level including increased heart rate and more pressure in the vessels that carry blood.

The body can make blood pressure increase as a response to various emotional responses to situations. Hypnosis can help you change the way you deal with these emotions. If you can make your blood pressure go up, you can make it go down, too. You can control hypertension through self-hypnosis.
