Hello and welcome.
I am Gavin Bowtell is a Certified Hypnotension Practitioner.
In this article you can discover how hypnosis can be used for reducing the potential causes high blood pressure (essential hypertension) naturally.
If your blood pressure is between 120/80 – 130/80 you could be described as having elevated blood pressure (medicineplus.gov). Whilst blood pressure that is consistently 140/90 is considered Stage 1 hypertension. In 90% of cases essential hypertension is the diagnosis, which means that the cause is unknown.
Whilst the exact cause of high blood pressure might not be known there are quite a few factors that can raise blood pressure in many people.
Some Factors Involved in High Blood Pressure
These might be (in no particular order)
- being burdened with responsibility
- feeling a lack of control/ being a perfectionist
- unresolved anger
- inner conflict
- guilt/shame
- impatience/feeling under pressure
- identifying with others (e.g. everyone my family/job/community has high blood pressure)
- fear of illness or death
- sensitivity to noise/light/pollution/ etc
It is also known that certain things aggravate high blood pressure such as:
Aggravators
- obesity and diabetes
- lack of exercise
- excess salt
- alcohol
- certain drugs (sympathomimetics, eg for weight loss or sinuses)
- illegal drugs (cocaine and amphetamines)
- some prescriptions drugs – eg immunosuppressants, NSAIDs like Ibruprofen, oral contraceptives
- liquorice
- a cold home
Your GP might not have the time to sit down and discuss and work directly with on the factors involved in hypertension. But I do have the time. Using the Hypnotension programme I can aim to help you reduce your blood pressure naturally by addressing some of the potential causes of high blood pressure in your life. By raising awareness of the things in your life that could be aggravating your hypertension and addressing those issue, we could possibly reduce your blood pressure. Hypnotherapy and Hypnotension are not a magic wand. You will need to want to make necessary and reasonable changes, and together we can work at that.
What’s involved?
It’s pretty simple really. You could be looking at 4 – 5 sessions of Hypnotension. It could be less, it might be more. It is tailored to you. Not a one size fits all programme.
Each session involves working with the conscious mind to understand facts and aggravating issues. Some sessions require a practical change, whilst others might be followed up with a task to do at home.
There are plenty of supporting materials, including free self-hypnosis recordings which will help you relax and unwind from the stresses and strains of your life and situation.
There is no additional charge for Hypnotension sessions. They fee is the same for a standard therapy session, around 1hour in duration.
Please note that hypnotherapy for the possible causes of high blood pressure (primary/essential hypertension) is not a replacement for conventional medicine. If you have been prescribed drugs to reduce your high blood pressure then you are advised to
- inform your GP that you are going to use this programme – I will do this for you by writing to you GP with your consent.
- continue to take you medication as prescribed
- continue to check your blood pressure at home & keep a record
- notify your doctor of changes in your blood pressure reading as they might want to adjust your dosage or treatment.
