How to Relieve Hypertension With Hypnosis

Hypertension is a medical condition when your blood pressure is high. Physicians monitor your blood pressure because elevated levels could be signs of the onset of a heart attack, stroke or kidney failure. While medicine is often prescribed to help this condition, you can relieve hypertension with hypnosis.

Instructions

• 1

  Be open to the idea of hypnosis. Stress can cause hypertension, and hypnosis can relieve the stress. It is a proven technique that uses relaxation and suggestion. You can have amazing results when you work with your practitioner to overcome stress.

• 2

  Find a therapist you trust. While hypnotherapy is recognized by the AMA, it does not require FDA licensing. You will need to research if it's a requirement in your state. If not, select a practitioner you trust.

• 3

  Set up an appointment with a hypnotherapist. Some practitioners offer services over the phone, if you prefer this method. Otherwise chose a therapist in your area that you can go to at least one time a week.

  Schedule time to make this a priority; each appointment might take an hour. It could take several weeks to lower your blood pressure, so give the therapy time to work. Because hypertension is related to stress, your therapist will likely focus on relaxation and meditation techniques. These will help you calmly deal with the issues you face during your daily routine.
