Anybody diagnosed with high blood pressure will find a volley of ideas and thoughts on what factors and organs are responsible for the spike.
But there is one organ that nobody ever talks about, not even mentions, when discussing high blood pressure. This organ secretly narrows your arteries and raises your blood pressure.
The good news is, when you shed the light on this organ, it’s very easy to tackle it and permanently cure high blood pressure – without medications.
A study conducted by researchers from The School of Medicine at University of Maryland, and Ottawa Heart Institute, found an interesting link between our brains and high blood pressure.
In this study, the researchers identified a steroid compound called ouabain, which the brain releases to constrict or dilate the diameter of the arteries throughout the body.
The researchers performed certain experiments on animal models to find this definite link between the release of ouabain in the bloodstream and constriction of arteries.
Obviously, if the brain releases more ouabain, which narrows the arteries, the blood pressure rises. Just like there is more pressure drinking milkshake through a narrow straw than wide straw.
The most interesting part of this finding is that now we can see our brain has almost complete control over our blood pressure. If we have high blood pressure, it’s because our brain has consciously decided to release ouabain to raise our blood pressure.
So why does the brain make that decision?
The answer is any kind of stress. It can be sensory (traffic noise), emotional (divorce), mental (work task), or physical (workout, disease).
Most of the time this is temporary stress and your brain raises your blood pressure to deal with an immediate threat or condition (this is healthy).
But at some point it becomes chronic. It’s like some neural path gets stuck in this stress circle and can’t get out of it.
Obviously, then, the solution for high blood pressure must be to get us out of this circle. Tell the brain to chill out and stop overdosing on ouabain.
This is what I call a Focused Break.
Long before this study came out, I developed 3 easy exercises designed to give your brain and neural system a Focused Break, and therefore permanently lower blood pressure.
Learn more about these Focused Break, blood pressure exercises and try them out for yourself here…
This makes such a complete sense. Why does nobody really want to talk about the motherboard and instead focus all on the kidneys and arteries etc.
This is a holistic look at high blood pressure. If blood pressure rises, it’s because something else is wrong. Not just that we need to force the blood pressure down with medications.
I guess that is why Acupuncture has such great potential to treat hypertension.
Imaging techniques MRI ect. indicates specific brain sites are stimulated in response to specific stimulation of acupuncture points.
Also specific neuro-chemicals are also released in response to acupuncture stimulation.
The information is out there, a little research and common sense approach will enable you to separate the wheat from the chaff and make educated, informed decisions about Alternative/Complementary Medicine.

This is a great website providing helpful information for your heart health and more
enjoy….my heart to yours. May you have a robust exciting year in 2015. The Lord bless you all and keep you.
If you can find time to read, this is for sure the bible of information's and guide to a healthier life. Remember the brain is the driving force and the decision maker of our life!

If this is real, this could be one of the biggest break throughs in medical history, but you won't hear it from the big Phama's and your doctors! why, $$$$
I would like more information on the article about high blood pressure and the brain. Thank you for this most valuable information. I was resently poisoned by blood pressure medication, 7 months and still suffering from the reaction to it.
God Bless this as being true.
Could you provide the reference for this study? I would like to show it to my GP.
The current guidance for doctors on the subject is 12 pages long and the word stress is mentioned just once. I have been telling my GP for years as my BP only goes up when I am stressed but she denies this is even a factor..
Very Interesting site, Tried talking to my Doc. about alternative therapies for BP, NADA, time to find someone not owned by Big Pharma.
Never heard this explination before but this is probably why meditation has been doing so well for so long
Dont forget Prayer
I googled ouabain and what I found was far from what you reported, for example, it is a chemical found in an African plant!
It’s a well researched information. If joined with prayer, surely help will come. Think no evil against anyone, you will be far from HBP.
It’s a well researched information.
There are sure fire alternatives to treating HBP
Magnesium is a BIG Factor as well as laying off processed foods, watch the sodium
and yes STRESS also is another big factor
all the information about HBP, is very Informative. Thank you and continue the good work………
Very informative information giving understanding on our amazing body and how we can help its optimal health. A Must read articles.
