ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION

HOW TO DECREASE THE USE OF MEDICATIONS IN ITS CONTROL 

 

 

 

 

             The biofeedback techniques, the control of the reactions of the body by the observation and learning, with the association of relaxation techniques are used in a variety of psychosomatic disturbances. 

             The first learns to control  a symptom or individual reaction and the second a general reduction of the physiologic processes.    

             Some of the organic disturbances that answer dramatically to the use of these methods are the pains and   gastric intestinal chronic diseases, insomnia and the arterial hypertension of unknown cause, or essential arterial hypertension actually  responsible for about 90% of all the clinical cases of arterial hypertension.   

             Doctor Herbert Benson, Harvad's cardiologyst, in United States began experimental studies on high arterial pressure during the sixties, parallelly to the studies of Friedman and Rosenman about the type A personality, that is individuals that had a pattern of behavior with a mixture of competitiveness, aggressiveness, impatience and cholera due to the frustrations of the daily life.
