The Art of Stillness

By being still we can find that silence that renews us.

Massage Lowers High Blood Pressure

The American Heart Association has published these facts about high blood pressure. 

• High blood pressure has more misconceptions than nearly any other medical condition. Which is why it is so dangerous.
• High blood pressure has NO symptoms and is therefore called the silent killer.
• High blood pressure affects men and women. In fact, women could be at greater risk of high blood pressure dangers than men.
• High blood pressure is both hereditary (runs in families) and caused or exacerbated by lifestyle choices.
• Children as young as 6 could have high blood pressure.

An effective way to stave off high blood pressure or reduce the impact of existing high blood pressure naturally is through massage. Studies show that a consistent massage program can decrease diastolic and systolic blood pressure; decrease salivary and urinary cortisol stress-hormone levels; and lower sources for depression, anxiety and hostility.
