Are you stuck in this cycle? Starting with one medication... only to find yourself needing a higher dose, or even a second one, just to keep things in check?
Here's why it happens. We often treat high blood pressure like this: We use medication—the megaphone—to shout commands at the 'employee,' your blood vessels, forcing them to relax. But for many of us, it's an exhausting, uphill battle.
And here's the reason why. We've been ignoring the BOSS. Deep in your brain, there's a control center that's in charge of your blood pressure. If that boss is in a state of constant panic from built-up stress, it's just going to keep screaming panic signals down the line.
So, the long-term solution isn't to shout louder at the employee. It's to calm down the boss. When you use simple mind-body exercises to soothe this control center, the panic signals stop. The boss sends messages of calm instead of crisis.
A calm boss creates a calm, balanced system. That is how you break the cycle. Stop just treating the symptom. Start soothing the source.
