Grandparents and aunts or uncles are usually the people in our lives that have blood pressure problems and they don't always know how to lower that pressure by means of natural causes or treatments.
The most common thing to do is of course go to the doctor and request some sort of medication that will provide some temporary relief. Symptoms that occur from the medication that we call "adverse" effects are not the most appreciated though.
When the blood vessel is constricted (small space) blood cannot flow through effectively, this is the pressure we talk about when the blood pressure is high. When the blood vessel is dilated (larger space) blood can flow easily throughout the body.
Understanding blood pressure is explained best I believe with this simple demonstration. Take two balloons, a small one and another twice the size of the first. Placing a cup of water into each balloon. Which balloon has the lesser amount of pressure, the smaller or the larger?
This illustrates how massage can lower blood pressure through reflex action and increasing the parasympathetic response. By increasing the diameter of the vessel, the pressure inside the vessel decreases.
Decreasing blood pressure is just one of the many effects that massage has on the Cardiovascular System.
Thank You, for taking the time to learn more!
