Meditation & Blood Pressure
Investigators from the Pediatric Department of The Georgia Institute for Prevention of Human Diseases and Accidents and The Medical College of Georgia looked at the impact of stress reduction, by way of Transcendental Meditation (TM), on blood pressure (BP) in African-American adolescents averaging 16 years old (aged 16.2 +/- 1.3 years) with high normal systolic BP. Subjects were randomly assigned to either a 4-month TM group (n = 50) or health education control group (n = 50).
Ambulatory 24-hour blood pressure measures were recorded at pretest, 2-month and 4-month post-tests, and at a 4-month follow-up.The study found significantly greater decreases in daytime systolic BP (P < .04) and diastolic BP (P < .06) in the TM group, as compared with the control group, across all the visits, concluding that TM has a beneficial impact on youth at risk for the development of hypertension.

Like other anxiety disorders, when a phobia is installed in the brain it is due to it an initial sensitizing event, which the person's brain failed to appropriately accommodate. Although a phobia can develop at any time during a person's life, the worst ones are those that occur when a child's brain is still immature. In those situations, a child's hippocampus is seemingly...
Asthma is a condition that affects a person's breathing. It does so by causing the airways become narrow and swell. Also, additional mucus is produced thereby further hampering the ability for the person to breathe. The symptoms, such as shortness of breath, chest tightness, sleeping problems, wheezing, and coughing, range in severity from minor to extremely severe. While there are many people that may have asthma, medical treatment is normally only given to those with moderate to severe symptoms. Of course, the advice of a medical professional should always be sought if the symptoms do not...
