Long-term stress is a key factor in high blood pressure. Stress contracts the energy system, which in turn constricts the blood vessels. Regular qi gong practice eases stress and relaxes the mind and body. The blood vessels dilate, the energy flows, and blood pressure is lowered, reducing the risk of further health issues.
