Thanks Gayla I think you posted this before and I forgot about it. Will print it out for my husband. I'm sure he'll try it.

First take your BP so you know where you are starting. Sit quietly and breathe in as deeply as you comfortably can. Then exhale slowly - try to take a little more time exhaling than you did inhaling. Do this for a few minutes - start with about 5 minutes, then check your BP again. I got DH to try it and he lowered it by 15 points on top and 10 points on the bottom in about 3 minutes. If you do this several times a day you can permanently lower it. It relaxes and expands the blood vessels therefore lowers BP.
