There is a lot of evidence available indicating that Mind-Body Techniques, such as meditation and yoga, can help individuals lower their high blood pressure without medication.  A recent study shows this may be due to changes in gene expression.
 
Below are a couple of quotes as well as a link to the complete article about the study.

  • “Overall, 13 of the 24 participants who completed the eight-week intervention experienced a drop in blood pressure from “Stage 1 hypertension” to “elevated blood pressure”
​
  • “In comparing blood samples taken at baseline and after the intervention, the investigators saw changes in the expression of 1,711 of responders’ genes that hadn’t changed in non-responders. Additionally, reduced blood pressure was related to changes observed in the expression of genes involved in immune regulatory pathways, metabolism and glucose metabolism, cardiovascular system development and circadian rhythm.”
