A good way to reduce blood pressure naturally during pregnancy
A unique method called slow breathing with music is a great way for women to reduce blood pressure naturally during pregnancy. Hypertension is a serious problem for pregnant women and is the cause of about one third of all fatalities in babies.
Despite this danger, blood pressure medication must be a last resort only because the baby will be exposed to serious side effects. But slow breathing with music is so effective that drugs should rarely be necessary anyway. Slow breathing is ideal during pregnancy because it not only relaxes and lowers blood pressure but it also relieves the discomfort of breathing while carrying a baby, especially in later stages.
Music increases the relaxing effects of slow breathing. What’s more, the baby actually feels the rhythmic rocking effect of the breathing and hears the relaxing music.
