Millions of people suffer from the condition which can lead to heart attack, stroke and kidney disease.
Now, a study shows that a different type of program can help get blood pressure under control.
56-year-old Rosemary Palmer-Powell had been taking medication for high blood pressure for years, but after getting a routine check she started down a whole new treatment path.
"I've been doing transcendental meditation for a solid six months and it has really changed my life," she said.
Palmer-Powell was selected to be a part of a Howard University Hospital study on the effect of transcendental meditation for high blood pressure.
Experts believe that meditating for 20 minutes twice a day, helps to relax the brain and relieve stress, which can lower blood pressure. (More)
