Efficiency of Meditation Practice on Systolic Blood Pressure among Prehypertensive Women in India

Discipline: biosciences (non-specific)

Abstract:

The main purpose of the present study was to assess the efficiency of meditation practice on systolic blood pressure among pre-hypertensive women. Thirty women with pre-stage hypertension were randomly selected from Karaikudi, Tamil Nadu, India. Subjects’ age ranged from 25 to 30 years, and selected subjects were separated into two groups, one control group and another meditation group (15x15). The meditation group was engaged in a 6-week training program, and assessment was done weekly in 4 days for 40 minutes. Selected subjects were tested on systolic blood pressure using a sphygmomanometer. Results revealed that due to meditation practice systolic blood pressure was significantly improved. A significant change was recorded between the pre-test to post-test of the control group and treatment groups. The result shows that regular meditation practice was beneficial for pre-stage hypertensive women to reduce systolic blood pressure.
