Review
This is a comprehensive overview of hypertension incorporates conventional medical wisdom as well up--to--date thinking regarding the important role of stress. Readers will find clear explanations of hypertension: its causes, deleterious effects on the body, and an explanation of the types of drugs used to treat it. But they will also learn about our growing understanding of the important contribution of stress hormones and will learn some simple techniques to engage their hearts and brains to restore inner equilibrium and calmness. This will be useful for anyone who wants to understand hypertension and the range of options available to address it.

Product Description
A Powerful, Drug-Free Approach to High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is a national epidemic. It's a condition that affects one in four Americans, most of whom have no idea they are at higher risk for heart disease, stroke, and other life-threatening problems. Conventional treatments for hypertension involve drugs, and these can have considerable side effects and may not ultimately succeed in getting those numbers down. Fortunately, the Institute of HeartMath has researched techniques for managing stress and hypertension for more than fifteen years. Now, at last, their highly effective strategies for regulating blood pressure safely and effectively are available to you.
Using a series of unique techniques like the Freeze-Frame (R) and the Heart Lock-In (R), this book will help you literally regulate your blood pressure at the source-the heart level-and reduce the stress that causes high blood pressure. In as little as ninety days, you can 'reset' your baroreceptor systems and lower your blood pressure. The approach is drug-free, safe, effective, and clinically validated.

Key to the Heart
9 Jun 2007
Format:Paperback
...written in an understandable and interesting style, this book explains breathwork in a modern way with modern research. I was recommended the HeartMath technique by my dentist to reduce my parasympathetic response so my major dentalwork would heal better. HeartMath techniques effect the whole body and offer those who suffer from staying in their "flight or fight" nervous system a way to easily access their "feed and breed" one more often.

small book - BIG info
8 Feb 2007
Format:Paperback
Who would have guessed that an author, in such a small book, could write as much about how your body works and provide the inspiration to make a live change - Dr. Bruce Wilson did it!! I bought 12 books to pass on to people I care about!!
