Yoga can help alleviate severe stress, with specific asana in lowering blood pressure. Arogya Yoga School as one of the best yoga teacher training in rishikesh offers natural treatments such as yoga and meditation to control high blood pressure. Here are a few asanas to help control high blood pressure:

1. Helping the process of digestion: Being one of the few asanas which can be performed after ingesting food, vajrasana actually aids in digestion of the food ingested and ensures that the whole process goes smoothly. Blood travels  a long distance from the bottom of our feet to our heart, approximately five feet from the ground. This means that our body has a lot of work to do. When we sit in Vajrasana, the muscles in both of our thighs will share weight because of which circulation of blood in those parts will be reduced. This reduc­tion results in a greater proportion of blood reaching the stomach and other organs in the upper part of our body which aids digestion. By aiding digestion, vajrasana also helps prevent acidity, diarrhea, gas problems and other problems that occur due to improper digestion of food. It also helps in getting rid of constipation and stomach flus.
2. Relaxation: Vajrasana induces a meditative state as it involves deep, slow and rhythmic breathing. It gives instant relaxation and calms the body and mind of the person practicing it. Most people use this asana when doing breathing exercise.when a perfoms this asana, all the pressure that may have gotten accumulated in her/his joints leaves her/ his body leaving the person feeling relaxed and full of energy.
3. Reducing flatulence: Vajrasana helps reduce flatulence. It is one of the most beneficial yoga poses for gas problems and should be performed immediately after a meal for best results . Vajrasana reduses gas and aids in digestion because practicing Vajrasana exercises a stimulating, beneficial influence on the Kanda which is an important point in the body. Proper functioning of the kanda is essential  for digestion.
4. Enhances sexual performance: Vajrasana enhances both the sexual appetite and performance of anyone who practices it. It also helps with erectile dysfunctions in men. Vajrasana helps in strengthening the sexual organs of anybody who practices it on a regular basis. It also helps tone body muscles like the hips, thighs and the calf muscles all of which are integral for optimal sexual performance.
5. Strengthens the spine : Vajrasana strengthens the spine and acts as a “vaccine” against any problems that may occur in it. As the spine is arched backwards in this asana, it removes a hunch, if any and the spine becomes flexible and elastic with regular practice of vajrasana.
