| الملخص: | Introduction: Hypertension is the most common cardiovascular
disease affecting more than one billion people throughout the
world. More than 95% of hypertensives belong to essential type,
having no particular cause. By treating hypertension and factors
contributing to it, both mortality and morbidity can be reduced.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of yoga and
meditation on mild to moderate essential hypertensive patients.
Methods: These patients were divided in to two groups:
(a)15 patients treated with antihypertensive drugs along with
yoganidra, (b)15 patients on antihypertensive drugs alone.
Yoganidra practiced for 45min daily in the morning and evening.
Parameters were recorded at the beginning and again at the end
of 3 months.
Results and Conclusion: The study showed a significant fall
of mean blood pressure after 3 months of yoganidra (p<.01).
Results of this study suggest that yoganidra can be used as
adjunctive treatment with drug therapy on mild and moderate
essential hypertensives. |
